allyesconfig builds everything into the kernel, so why exclude the
module loader. And there are a few modules with a 'depends on m'
statement, either because this is test code in samples/ which is not
even considered when linking the kernel, or there is some "issue" when
the code is built-in. The statement might also be completely bogus, but
that's not a job of allyesconfig to decide.
