I can now explain one class of differences between the modules loaded under -42 versus -44. I am using the compat-wireless package, a version of which does not yet exist for the -44 kernel (or at least: I hadn't installed it). The two ath9k-related modules which are not being loaded under -44 but are being loaded under -42 come from the compat-wireless package.
This still leaves me stumped as to why all of these filesystem-related modules are being loaded. They consume rather a lot of memory so I guess that (on this small embedded system) they might lead to certain kinds of memory running out. I would be grateful for any hints on finding out why these modules are being loaded. The only filesystem I'm using on this box is ext2 (on a CompactFlash card, if that makes any difference). Other than proc, sysfs, debugfs, securityfs, devtmpfs, devpts and tmpfs, that is. I guess the above story also holds true for the -43-based kernels you have asked me to test. I sincerely hope that this does not completely invalidate the tests I've been doing (and the kernel packages you've been building etc).
