Subject: [ANNOUNCE] kmod 25

kmod 25 is out:

- Improvements
        - Add module signature to modinfo output

        - Add support for external directories in depmod: now there's a new
          "external" keyword parsed by depmod when calculating the dependencies.
          It allows to add modules to other directories which are not relative
          to where the modules are commonly installed.  This results in
          modules.dep and friends now understanding absolute paths rather than
          relative paths only. For more information see depmod.d(1).

        - Add support for CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS

        - Add missing documentation references in man pages

        - Handle the case in which module has a .TOC symbol already while
          calculating dependencies

        - Improve testsuite and allow to use mkosi to run testsuite in different
          distros
