if you want to exclude *all* kernel modules it's simple, you can
achieve that with the following in your image recipe.

BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS = "kernel-modules"

This is easy because kernel-modules comes as RRECOMMENDS from
packagegroup-core-boot.. but if you exclude just some modules, then
you are breaking an RDEPENDS relationship which is a fatal error..

right.. can't you disable these modules in the kernel recipe instead
using some config fragment?
