Yes. Trent made two patches using your suggestion of checking for
MODULE. I'll submit it to Linus probably tomorrow after some tests.

If you want to review, they are at:

Yes, it adds some complexity. The gain, however, is to allow having
smaller kernel size on embedded systems and DVR using MythTV or Freevo.
There's a similar feature for V4L (Autoselect pertinent
encoders/decoders and other helper chips), that allows selecting just
the needed stuff.
