[Gllug] Modules vs Static in Kernel

[t.clarke]

Personally, I prefer to have the drivers that are in constant use linked
statically into the Kernel.  OK, if I change the motherboard, I might have to
recompile - but this is unlikely to be a frequent event; more likely the kernel
will be upgraded before the motherboard !

The other reason for preferring static drivers is that I got a bit fed up with
gratutious messages being splattered onto the console every time the printer
driver module was re-loaded (usually when printing something); since the module
was being automatically removed after so many minutes of disuse !
