I'm all for it.  But just for the record, your two concerns when I
mentioned sending this patch earlier were:

(1) Do we even have modinfo available in the environment this script
runs under?

(2) Will the modinfo that is running be able to read modules of whatever
architecture we're building images for?

I don't know the answers to these questions.  Anyone else?
