We would like to use the same kernel .config across multiple images, as all we are changing is the removal of the modules, unless you can somehow specify which image recipe deletes certain modules in the kernel recipe.

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?
