Possibly, but we are loading the compressed modules plus installing some
of them, both to memory right now.

-r--------    1 root     root     1342058496 Dec 15 17:57 kcore
-r--------    1 root     root     1342058496 Dec 15 18:04 kcore

Well, kcore looks identical

This is with loaded modules

SALT# cat meminfo
MemTotal:          60660 kB
MemFree:           22544 kB
MemAvailable:      21328 kB

This is with compiled modules

SALT# cat meminfo
MemTotal:          59728 kB
MemFree:           25684 kB
MemAvailable:      24480 kB

And we still have all modules copied to /lib/modules and a very
unspecified i486 image. I believe the numbers would be even better if it
was a geode, as we have much more specific module selection.

Anyway, this is encouraging enough to dig a bit deeper into init.
