[PATCH v2 00/18] modules: add metadata database

[Gerd Hoffmann]

This patch series adds support for module metadata.  Here are the pieces
of the puzzle:

  (1) Macros are added to store metadata in a .modinfo elf section
      (idea stolen from the linux kernel).
  (2) A utility to scan modules, collect metadata from the .modinfo
      sections, store it in a file (modinfo.json) for later consumption
      by qemu.  Can also be easily inspected using 'jq'.
  (3) Adding annotations to the modules we have.
  (4) Drop hard-coded lists from utils/module.c

take care,
  Gerd
