Hi
I replaced bb modprobe with the latest module-init-tools one (3.16) and
ran the mod-init-tools depmod (to generate the .bin files).
Rather curiously, doing that dropped 28% off the boot time ;) Consider
this issue confirmed.
I then removed the .bin files, to test the full modprobe with the same
alias files as bb. The boot was still 23% faster than with bb modprobe.
Bootchart 1, module-init-tools + bin:

So there's obviously something else besides the bin files going on. I
guess I'll record all the calls to modprobe, to get a test set.
