I added it few years ago, when the biggest problem was kernel size
itself; sun2 firmware is not capable for kernel image >= 2MB. So,
I "replaced" many options with `MODULAR`.

However, today, memory starvation takes place even if kernel fits
within 2MB :(

Agreed. Also, we need to reduce runtime memory consumption.
