I took a run at making ipv4 a module last fall and gave up on it. There were just to many dependencies in the rest of the kernel on internal bits and pieces of ipv4. Things might be a bit cleaner now, but I expect there is at least still a tight connection between the ethernet layer and the ipv4 code. Probably I should put this on the list of things to do with the ipv4 code, but it's going to be near the bottom of the list...
