It is a module, as long as you never unload it..
In 2.3.* series it is module, but the module itself contains code which makes sure that non-hackers won't unload it accidentally. (But allows smaller initial kernel image size.)
I think I did at least once fix it so that it *can* be unloaded, but I have been way too busy to bring that to current level..
Yes, here is that old diff:
