I guess module unloading would be unsupported, including of LKRG.
config MODULE_UNLOAD
bool "Module unloading"
help
Without this option you will not be able to unload any
modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster
and simpler. If unsure, say Y.
It's weird to have the entire kernel configured with module support
enabled yet module unloading disabled, though - except maybe for some
embedded applications.
