Currently an activation service unconditionally tries to set up a modprobe
wrapper by writing to /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe. This breaks if the kernel is
built without loadable module support, Shepherd completely aborts. I believe
there is no reason for it to be so. Just add a simple check for the existence
of this /proc node.
