First commits are some random fixes and refactors while preparing the code base for a new API: kmod_module_new_from_name_lookup(). This new function is used by modinfo to allow handling the argument as a module name instead of alias or file. Main motivation is to allow to bypass aliases set by kernel or user configuration that would otherwise forbid to get the info from a particular module. Although for modules it's possible to just find the correspondent file, this is not possible for builtin modules.
