`zcat /proc/config.gz` shows the configuration of the current kernel (or the configuration with which the current kernel was compiled, I'm not sure). |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
So the "=m" in the output I've posted shows that on my system, these options are compiled as modules. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Compare with these options which are compiled in statically: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep '=y' | head |
| 46 |
CONFIG_GENTOO_LINUX=y |
| 47 |
CONFIG_GENTOO_LINUX_UDEV=y |
| 48 |
CONFIG_GENTOO_LINUX_INIT_SCRIPT=y |
| 49 |
CONFIG_GENTOO_LINUX_INIT_SYSTEMD=y |
| 50 |
CONFIG_64BIT=y |
| 51 |
CONFIG_X86_64=y |
| 52 |
CONFIG_X86=y |
| 53 |
CONFIG_INSTRUCTION_DECODER=y |
| 54 |
CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT=y |
| 55 |
CONFIG_STACKTRACE_SUPPORT=y |
| 56 |

If a driver is compiled statically, it is always present in the kernel, and loaded into memory at boot time. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
If a driver is compiled as a module, it is only loaded into memory if and when needed. |
| 61 |
|

This is an incomplete answer for you, because I know nothing about Genkernel. |
