trim: omit unused GPU drivers + tighten firmware keep-list (TODO #18)
First trim build confirmed firmware 678 MB -> 147 MB, but the initramfs came out 97 MB and is now kernel-MODULE-bound, not firmware: --no-hostonly + plymouth's drm dep instmods every GPU driver (amdgpu.ko etc.) though the fleet is i915-only. - omit_drivers += amdgpu radeon nouveau (90-diskless.conf): drop the discrete-GPU kmods (amdgpu.ko is the biggest single module in the initramfs); keep i915 + virtio-gpu/bochs for the splash. Shrinks the initramfs/UKI pulled over PXE on every boot. - Firmware keep-list tightened: drop mellanox/ (mlxsw_spectrum SWITCH-ASIC blobs, not NIC fw — mlx5 NIC fw is on-card) and narrow intel/ to just ice (drop ish/sof/ibt sensor-hub/audio/bluetooth, none loaded at boot per the audit). - Add an 'initramfs largest files' diagnostic (sort lsinitrd.txt by size) so the next build shows what dominates the .img. BENCH-VERIFY: kiosk still renders on the 820 (i915 kept); watch the new initramfs largest-files log line for the post-omit size.
