Yes and no. IE. Yes, it can be a module, and no, it's not needed in the installer at this point as far as I can tell. It might be handy to have it in the live CD though for manufacturing etc...

This is among other things, necessary for manufacturing configuration of VPDs etc..., but will also enable Linux access to some i2c devices such as the TPM.
