Aside from the good comments that Russell made, I would remark that the
fact that you need multiple megabytes worth of modules indicates that you
are doing something wrong. Can you point to a git tree containing those
modules?

From the comments which have been made, one point that seems to have

been identified is that if this module is first stripped and then
loaded, it can load, but if it's unstripped, it's too big.  This sounds
suboptimal to me - the debug info shouldn't be loaded into the kernel.

However, I guess there's bad interactions with module signing if you
don't do this and the module was signed with the debug info present,
so I don't think there's a good solution for this.
