   2        kmod, the new module loader (replaces kerneld)
   3        Kirk Petersen
   4
   5        Reorganized not to be a daemon by Adam Richter, with guidance
   6        from Greg Zornetzer.
   7
   8        Modified to avoid chroot and file sharing problems.
   9        Mikael Pettersson
  10
  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
  17
  18        call_usermodehelper wait flag, and remove exec_usermodehelper.
