[BusyBox] bug#1165: insmod module search path

[ssrat at mailbag.com]

Package: busybox
Version: 0.51
Severity: wish-list

It would appear that insmod will search /lib/modules recursively for 
a module.  The GNU insmod searches the following, in order:

/lib/modules/`uname -r`       i.e., /lib/modules/2.2.19
/lib/modules/`kernelversion`  i.e., /lib/modules/2.2
/lib/modules/default
/lib/modules

It would be nice to support this layout.... it opens up the ability 
to update modules (by tarring up 2.2.16/* or 2.2.19/* etc.) and 
update a floppy based system by updating the kernel and a modules 
tarball - which implies the older modules remain (at least 
temporarily).
