I rmmoded all modules I could get to stay gone (that I didn't need), down to 
these:

sd_mod                 15120  0

What about those, such as "ds", that say they're used four times, but don't 
say by whom?  How do I figure out what to stop/kill?

I couldn't do "cardctl <anything>" until I temporarily re-modprobed
yenta_socket.  I am running 2.6.x, so I shouldn't have to rmmod usbcore (I
rmmoded other usb modules anyway, but it is still used by something and
wouldn't leave).

I guess 2.6.x deals with ATAPI CD writers the same way 2.4.x did -- with 
ide-cd, just now it's autodetected.  That module (and friends) wouldn't stay 
gone either.

I was on a text terminal (runlevel 3, tty1) this time; I was not in X last 
time but that's not important now.

Few things are compiled into the kernel; what I could make modular, I did.

eth0's down, and as you see above, its support modules are not loaded.

I still get the same result from swsusp.
