Since modprobe's logic does not depend on kernel version, I think there is
no need in starting polluting its code.

We have insmod which, as was stated before, is good with <2.6 modules. I
suggest to make modprobe load 2.6 modules internally and relay loading of
<2.6 to insmod. As original BB modprobe did, AFAIK.
