If these were each only 100 bytes of memory (unlikely), my answer would be "what are you smoking?" I am no kernel hacker (though I am going to try to cut my teeth here shortly), but no, I really don't think so. If I don't want APM debugging functionality, I don't want ifs taking up kernel time, I don't want code taking up ram... I JUST DON'T WANT IT.
This is not Windows land where you make things "run time configurable." You make them clean; you make the cut and dry! Like I said, if they were 200 bytes of memory TOTAL and didn't clutter the common path, fine... but I don't think you can claim this.
