Subject: [PATCH] modules: add support for soft module dependencies
Hi Rusty:
I don't know why this patch never went into the kernel, even
though the corresponding features have been added to modprobe
in most if not all distros.
This is required for dependencies on crypto modules such as
crc32c where the dependency is only visible at run-time, which
means that depmod fails to list the necessary dependencies
causing modules to go missing in the initrd.
