It probably works most of the time, but there are two gotchas.
(1) The kernel/module interface varies with certain configuration variables such as CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_PROCFS. As far as I know, no one has analyzed out the list of such variables.
(2) Some module options affect code generated in the resident kernel (yuck). You can find those by grep 'CONFIG_.*_MODULE' over the kernel source.
Yet more swamps to drain. I feel low just thinking about it.
