But why does someone want things to be inside a static kernel?
Since 1991/1992, Solaris does not have anything in the static "kernel" than
the startup code, the basic scheduler code and the pager daemon. You need a
bootloader that knows about ELF dependencies, but grub has been enhanced for
that feature.
Everything is dynamic, you would however put a lot of effort into the linux
kernel to get to that state...e.g. automated major device numbering.
