We currently have debugging symbols turned on in the xfs module, if you were
to take out the -g3 in the make files you will find they shrink a lot. The
loaded module is still large, but a lot smaller than this:

Module                  Size  Used by
xfs                   482715   0  (autoclean)
pagebuf                41115   0  (autoclean) [xfs]
nfs                    90542   2  (autoclean)
autofs                 13469   4  (autoclean)
ide-cd                 28339   0  (autoclean)
cdrom                  31015   0  (autoclean) [ide-cd]
floppy                 52516   0  (autoclean)


Something about test8 made it grow about 50Kbytes, not sure what yet.
