Loads of good stuff. Thanks for taking the time to write this.
I normally try to avoid the issue of modules by compiling a monolithic kernel, but it isn't always possible.
For example, if a kernel driver needs firmware from userspace there is a race to mount the disk filesystem before the driver asks for the firmware. The solution is to build the driver as a module, that way the module doesn't get loaded until after the disk has been mounted so the race is avoided.
Thanks again.
