2 kmod, the new module loader (replaces kerneld)
3 Kirk Petersen

5 Reorganized not to be a daemon by Adam Richter, with guidance
6 from Greg Zornetzer.

8 Modified to avoid chroot and file sharing problems.

11 Limit the concurrent number of kmod modprobes to catch loops from
12 "modprobe needs a service that is in a module".
13 Keith Owens <kaos@ocs.com.au> December 1999
14
15 Unblock all signals when we exec a usermode process.
16 Shuu Yamaguchi <shuu@wondernetworkresources.com> December 2000
