I changed GTA02 yesterday to install all modules built.

This uses 5.6M of storage (uncompressed no idea how to get the
compressed size out of jffs2)

I guess Werner made a valid point, do we need them all to be modules. I
know now I stopped debugging it I'm happy for sound to join monolithic
kernel. I guess some of the file-systems can as well.

This change if on org.openmoko.dev branch, ASU guys will have to
decide if its a change they want to cherry pick.
