You can't remove some parts at the moment. Making them optional shouldn't
really take too much efford tho. Some parts of kernel functionality
are just considered important general features, and nobody
bothered to make them optional.  There is nothing stopping anyone
making these parts (like kevent support) optional for their purposes.
Such patches might even be accepted back into tree if fed back via
PR.
