package/kmod: add option for host variant Curently, host-kmod has no option to enable it, because only the kernel depends on it, and this is unconditional (because we can't know if modules will be enabled in the kernel config). But we're soon to add options to enable various features of kmod, so we'll need a place where to show those features. Signed-off-by: Yann E.

package/kmod: add compression support for the host variant The kernel may install compressed modules. At the end of the build, we then run depmod, to generate modules.dep and a few assorted files, so that loading modules works properly on the target (loading by alias, loading dependencies...) However, depmod needs support for compressed modules, or it would generate empty modules.dep et al. Uconditionally adding support for gz and xz, and the required deps, was deemed too much of a burden [0], so we add options to enable either or both compression.
