	kmod, the new module loader (replaces kerneld)
	Kirk Petersen

	Reorganized not to be a daemon by Adam Richter, with guidance
	from Greg Zornetzer.

	Modified to avoid chroot and file sharing problems.
	Mikael Pettersson

	Limit the concurrent number of kmod modprobes to catch loops from
	"modprobe needs a service that is in a module".
	Keith Owens <kaos@ocs.com.au> December 1999

	Unblock all signals when we exec a usermode process.
	Shuu Yamaguchi <shuu@wondernetworkresources.com> December 2000

	call_usermodehelper wait flag, and remove exec_usermodehelper.
