I looked at this and couldn't find anything.  If you do make an RPM
for it, please publish it (hint, hint).

Not everything works right as a module---this depends on the driver.
Also, it's possible to get confused about dependencies; loading sr_mod
does not automatically get you isofs, nor does loading isofs imply
that sr_mod (SCSI CDROM driver) will be autoloaded.  If everything
works right, however, AFAIK JWT is right, there's a 0~4K space penalty
per module and that's it.
