This patch series allows modprobe to be called with a direct path to a
module object.
v2:
- Add a patch to wrap chdir().
- Add test for relative path as well. (Lucas)
- Add note warning about modules with dependencies not matching the
installed depmod database. (Lucas)
Gustavo Sousa (3):
testsuite: Wrap chdir()
modprobe: Move insertion block into separate function
modprobe: Allow passing path to module
