You know what the kernel needs? An lsmod equivalent that shows what IS
built in.

If I selected Serial as a module, then "serial.o" will be loadable and
shows up in lsmod. From experience, I know what shows up in dmesg when I
load serial.o, so on another machine with Serial built in to the kernel,
the line or two that goes by at boot about Serial drivers is the same
signature and so I can infer "serial is built in"

But we often ask each other questions like "do you have eepro100.o
loaded"... when asking about support, and run into the 
builtin vs module thing.

lsmod -b for built in would be amazing.
