This patch provides modutils and module-init-tools. I know busybox can load
modules, but modinfo may also be very useful for kernel/driver debugging
purposes.

I have managed binaries concurrency between modutils and module-init-tools, but
I'm not sure this is the best way to do it...

Thanks for your work.
