Retry module removal if it fails due to EAGAIN. This allows user to pass
--wait <timeout>, during which `modprobe -r` will keep trying to remove
the module.

This adds support to depmod to enable a new exclude directive in
the depmod.d/*.conf configuration file. Currently depmod
already excludes directories named source or build. This change
will allow additional directories like .debug to be excluded also
via a new exclude directive.
depmod.d/exclude.conf example:
exclude .debug

Depmod man page is not referenced in some man pages. This makes it
harder to find through reading documentation.
References added to:
-man/insmod.xml
-man/lsmod.xml
-man/modprobe.xml
-man/rmmod.xml

The commit 'depmod: implement external directories support' added
external directories support (see
7da6884e73).
This patch documents the extention in the manpage.

We can't do at configure phase since we actually ship the built man pages with
dist, so it's fine not having xsltproc if building from dist. If building from
the repository, it's better to have have a better message saying xsltproc was
not found than trying to execute the argument to xsltproc. Now message is:
XSLT depmod.d.5
/bin/sh: line 1: xsltproc: command not found
Instead of:
XSLT depmod.d.5
/bin/sh: --nonet: command not found
This is how rmmod(8) looks like:

The attached trivial patch fixes it:

Nowadays udev doesn't create nodes in /dev anymore. This role is rather
taken by systemd-tmpfiles on early boot so reference it generically as
systemd.
These redirecting makefiles simplifies compiling from some editors and
when CWD is not the root of the source tree. This is similar to what was
introduced in systemd in 340d89e ("build-sys: add small redirecting
Makefiles to simplify compilation from within emacs")
This was never documented in the manpage of module-init-tools either.
The flag is identical in function to modprobe's --dirname option, so use
the same language to describe it.
The documentation for this flag leads one to believe that the full path
to the module directory is needed. In reality, this flag specifies only
the root of the module path.
- Gah, kmod insmod can't load from stdin anymore. :/
- What's the use case?
- zcat module.ko.gz | insmod - (but the new insmod apparently can load .gz fine)
- yes... just insmod module.ko.gz
- and actually insmod(8) says it works. :)
Not anymore...
