The addition of kernel-modules is going to greatly increase the size of -minimal images for intel-corei7-64 and intel-core2-32, as these configurations build a lot of modules. I think it would be best to leave this one in only intel-quark.
On the other hand, then lot of hardware won't work, because drivers are built as modules... Pretty much only boot-critical drivers should be built into the kernel. I find it especially strange if we have linux-firmware installed but not modules, because most of the firmwares are used by modules (WiFi drivers, etc). So if kernel-modules is removed then also linux-firmware should be removed, that is another large package and not boot-critical.
IMO, there are better places to shave off size of minimal images than cutting out hardware support.
