The key thing is that modules aren't available until the root filesystem is mounted. Therefore, anything that's required to get to that point cannot be a module - specifically, the hardware drivers that allow it to see the disk, and the filesystem driver that allows it to read the contents. Practically anything else can be a module, but those things cannot be (barring initramfs setups, which are very much an experts-only subject).
