So; given that we have tight space constraints, is the idea for a kernel payload to have non-essential modules on disk to be loaded later?
yes. Just enough to boot from disk or net. I did pure kernel payloads with network drivers only.
I even once experimented with modifying linux main() to put the bootstrap code right into the kernel -- this saves a ton of space, actually.
