Any module can change any part of the kernel, e.g. a part of the code
executed when loading the ath_hal module could accidentally corrupt a
kernel data structure.

That's wrong, the binary-only blob from ath_hal loaded into your kernel
is not opensource.

An Oops without any external module ever loaded since booting is
