How does one most easily create a kernel of this type (and know which
parts are loadable and which are not)?

I've been making my own kernels by starting with GENERIC and removing
things from it that I don't have or need. Is there a simple way to see
which of those things are also modules (so they can come back if I need
them after all)? The names in /stand/modules don't always seem to match
100% with words from the config file.
