How to remove unused configs from kernel?

I ran Steven Rostedt's streamline.pl script to remove unloaded modules from the 
current .config.  It removed over 300 unused modules from having to be 
compiled, saving much space and time:

But much more can be done.  Is there an easy way to detect unused kernel code 
from the running kernel and de-config it?  I'm sure there's a lot of bloat in 
my kernel that never gets executed.
