[bug#30604] [PATCH v10 5/6] linux-initrd: Provide our own 'modprobe' program.

[Danny Milosavljevic]

Note: The simplest change would be to keep this patch as-is but add 

    ;; Make sure that Linux can modprobe even before boot-system started up.
    (when modprobe
      (mkdir-p "sbin")
      (symlink modprobe "sbin/modprobe")
      (compile-to-cache "sbin/modprobe")) ; Note: without this line booting is 
dead slow. [Maybe in this case that wouldn't be so bad - since boot-system 
switches away immediately anyway :)]
