Not really, unless somebody thinks this would be useful. I can't see
why, the other programs are big and complex and should not be needed at
boot time. I see no point in using rmmod or lsmod, and depmod and
modprobe should be used when the file system is being built.

And the programs would still be very big and with a lot of features not
needed at early boot time.

No, insmod is not supposed to change, at least for the parts I left.
