Three additional solutions:
1.  use different kernel revisions (2.0.23 and 2.0.24 just as stable as
    2.0.25 and are virtually identical).  Modules are stored by kernel
    revisions.
2.  recompile one of your kernels without module support.  I would suggest
    the non-APM one.
3.  use identical kernels for both configs, but use the APM interface to
    disable/extend the parameters for the docked config.  There is an
    old APMD that you can probably use.  I use mine to tune parameters
    and suspend my TP750C.
