Features:
=========
-* config: configs that do not need to be matched by fnmatch() could be using a
- vector instead of a list. This way we could search in it by calling
- bsearch().
+* testsuite:
+ - when fake init_module() succeeds, create an entry in /sys/module
+ - when fake delete_module() succeeds, remove its entry from /sys/module
+ - add test for dependency loop _with install commands_ relying on module
+ already been loaded in order to succeed. E.g.: alsa install rules on
+ debian:
-* index: drop the "open(), seek(), read()" implementation and use another one
- with mmap(). When lookup() is called and the file is not mmaped, mmap it.

-* provide modules.archive, a cache file with all modules compressed
- and a fast access. It's like a tar.gz, but with each entry
- compressed as opposed to the whole tar compressed, easy to pick
- individual entries, that is, more like .gz.tar. As zlib compression
- does not store the uncompressed file size, this could provide
- it. The file format should be something like:
- MAGIC-ID
- DIRECTORY-ENTRY-SIZE
- DIRECTORY (hash-like format, points to file offset and size)
- ENTRIES (each is a compressed module)
- Helper binary to:
- kmod-archive list
- kmod-archive add path.ko
- kmod-archive rm path.ko
- kmod-archive get path.ko
- kmod-archive exists path.ko

* Stop using system() inside the library and use fork + exec instead
-* testsuite:
- - when fake init_module() succeeds, create an entry in /sys/module
- - when fake delete_module() succeeds, remove its entry from /sys/module
- - add test for dependency loop _with install commands_ relying on module
- already been loaded in order to succeed. E.g.:
- install vboxdrv modprobe -i vboxdrv; modprobe -i vboxnetflt
- - check if vboxdrv bug is the same of alsa package in Debian
+* config: configs that do not need to be matched by fnmatch() could be using a

-* add quirk so we don't calculate dependencies for modules already loaded -
- that shall fix the bug of vboxdrv and alsa above

Things to be added/removed in kernel (check what is really needed):
===================================================================
* list of currently loaded modules
- - readdir() in /sys/modules: dirs without a 'initstate' file mean the
- modules is builtin.
