Doesn't the kernel load only modules that *it* thinks are needed based on a scan of the hardware at boot time? You can always remove modules one at a time and see what happens. Lsmod shows dependencies if anything else is using a given module, so I'd say you can rule those out right off.
yes, but you're left with a kernel that has hooks in it for hardware that you will NEVER use. If you want to reduce the memory footprint of the kernel (this was always my goal) you remove those unnecessary module hooks.
