how to reduce both vmlinuz size and modules?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  currently running latest version of fedora 23, with
4.2.8-200.fc22.x86_64 fedora kernel package, and i'm wondering about
the best way to both reduce the kernel size, and cut down on the
number of modules i'm building, based on what looks like combining a
couple of make targets.

  if i start with the latest git kernel repo, it *looks* like i can
use the /boot/config-4.2.8-200.fc22.x86_64 config file as a starting
point, copy it in as .config, then:

 $ make allmodconfig
 $ make localmodconfig

as i read it (and i could be mistaken), the first make would transform
as many "y" kernel selections to "m" as possible, while the second
would then remove any module config selections that are currently not
loaded.

  am i reading that correctly? is there a simpler way to do this?
