GOOD WORK.
A common approach in the embedded community is to let go of modprobe
altogether and only use compiled-in modules and the occasional insmod to
speed things up. (Which is quite easy when you know your hardware, but
also messy to maintain.)
With a sufficiently fast modprobe that need should go away. I hope we'll
soon be there with these patches and perhaps a few more jumping in.
