  • Install commands should not be used to specify soft dependencies among
    modules. When loading modules it's much better to have a softdep that
    modprobe knows what's being done than having to fork/exec another
    instance of modprobe to load the other module.

    By using a softdep user has also an option to remove the dependencies
    when removing the module (and if its refcount dropped to 0)

  • Usage of /etc/modprobe.conf file was deprecated by module-init-tools and
    is no longer parsed by new kmod tool. References to this file are
    replaced in Documentation, comments and Kconfig according to the
    context.

    There are also some references to the old /etc/modules.conf from 2.4
    kernels that are being removed.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
