Thinking again about what you said of sound drivers: did you never have to build a KMP for a DRM/KMS module which required drm, drm_kms_helper or i2c-algo-bit to be rebuilt? I suppose this would be a good enough reason to leave them modular.
Yes, it's possible. I remember someone offered update drm KMPs in the past indeed, too. I guess i2c-algo-bit has been rarely changed (you must know better :), but drm stuff is in flux.
i2c-algo-bit saw some bugs and fixes in recent history, but I never bothered building a KMP, I always ended up providing a full kernel. So I think I'll go for building it into the kernel.
So, unless you see obvious speedup with these helpers to be built-in, I'm for keeping them as modules.
