2015
	  module-init-tools MAY support gzip, and kmod MAY support gzip and xz.
2016

2017 2018
	  Out-of-tree kernel modules installed using Kbuild will also be
	  compressed upon installation.
2019

2020 2021
	  Note: for modules inside an initrd or initramfs, it's more efficient
	  to compress the whole initrd or initramfs instead.

2023 2024 2025
	  Note: This is fully compatible with signed modules.

	  If in doubt, say N.

config TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
	bool "Trim unused exported kernel symbols"
	depends on MODULES && !UNUSED_SYMBOLS
	help
	  The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
	  other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
	  on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
	  many of those exported symbols might never be used.

	  This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
	  the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
	  binary size.  This might have some security advantages as well.

2059
	  If unsure, or if you need to build out-of-tree modules, say N.
