Comment (by Quozl):

 I don't think a representative selection could be determined, as it is a
 moving target, and supply to different countries varies.  Devices come and
 go quickly.

 Consider what !OpenWrt does.  They split their built kernel package into
 several binary packages, one for the kernel itself, then one for each
 major set of modules.  Users can ''ipkg install'' the modules they need.
 The bloat is kept to a minimum.  The kernel has the framework code needed
 by the modules, but the meat isn't there.

 Alternatively, describe a simple process to rebuild the kernel with
 different configuration.  I haven't seen a description of the current
 build process in any accessible form.  This may end up being quite simple,
 or maybe something I've missed.  I'm not whinging.
