Hello,

in the kernel configuration one can enable various devices by the
respective 'device' statement. It seems that most drivers go into
the kernel directly. Some drivers such as 'acpi' produce a kernel
module.
How is determined which modules become built in and which become
modules?
Can I have 'ohci' as a kernel module?
