Hello, Denys!

To cope modules.dep.bb locking, being writable, being able to be edited manually (possibly incorrectly) and so on 
I made a patch which ... eliminates this file at all.
All dependencies are now memory-backed. Depmod, R.I.P. (depmod :== true)

Instead, I introduced the only human dependable configuration of module system: 
specifying options to modules via optional /etc/modules/<modulename> files.
Works like a charm.

I marked spiky edges with FIXME.

Please, try it.

TIA,
--
