Point in LM 8.0 (and most modern Linux distros) is: during installation
it looks what size the truck is and what needs it has and just loads the
needed material on the flatbed. IOW: Your ass detects the size and model
of the pot and determines the shitload fit for the pot. (Arrghhh!)
Now, in earnest: during installation LM8 detects what hardware you run
and activates the relevant modules. All other modules, though checked in
kernel config are not loaded and so don't klog your system.
I tested this once with a fresh install of LM7.2 compared to a customized
kernel on the same machine, no difference.
So IMHO you just need to compile a customized kernel if your hardware is
not supported by the common kernel modules *and* you have to integrate a
new driver into the kernel.
Everything else can be done with tweaks of the modules.conf or somewhere
else.
