   2         kmod, the new module loader (replaces kerneld)

   5         Reorganized not to be a daemon by Adam Richter, with guidance
   6         from Greg Zornetzer.
   7
   8         Modified to avoid chroot and file sharing problems.

  11         Limit the concurrent number of kmod modprobes to catch loops from
  12         "modprobe needs a service that is in a module".
  13         Keith Owens <kaos@ocs.com.au> December 1999
  14
  15         Unblock all signals when we exec a usermode process.
  16         Shuu Yamaguchi <shuu@wondernetworkresources.com> December 2000
  17
  18         call_usermodehelper wait flag, and remove exec_usermodehelper.
