Theres no straight forward way of doing this. Use other info. about the process under consideration - if it is using the network, obviously network modules will be used. Or if you are having, say ext3 fs, naturally ext3 modules will be used if the process accesses the filesystem in some way. So other info. might help you a lot finding out what the process is using. This could be simplified by strace-ing the program. But, mind you, _most_ of the times the system calls act as mere wrappers - the actual module in use might, and mostly, abstracted. BUt this should give you a direction of search. Also you can enable all the DEBUG lines in the .config while compiling the kernel to give you info. of what is going on in the kernel. But this could be very verbose at times. It would be helpful if you post the specific problem you are trying to address with this.
