Subject: [ANNOUNCE] kmod 23

kmod 23 is out:

        ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kmod/kmod-23.tar.xz
        ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kmod/kmod-23.tar.sign

- Improvements:
        - Don't add comment to modules.devname if it would otherwise be empty
          to play nice with tools detecting empty files

        - Allow building with BSD sed, that doesn't have -E flag

        - Ignore .TOC. symbols in depmod parsing as it's for PPC64 the
          equivalent of _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_

        - Teach modinfo about PKCS#7 module signatures: it doesn't add any
          other info besides telling the user the module is signed since
          kernel doesn't add other info on the module section

- Bug fixes

        - Fix -s and -p compat options to insmod triggering force flag

        - Fix long lines from /proc/modules not being handled correctly by
          kmod_module_new_from_loaded() and kmod_module_get_size() and several
          other library functions that use them

        - Fix crash on modinfo while checking for available signature of
          unknown type

        - Fix documentation generation with gtk-doc
