Kmod: The Kernel Module Loader
Kirk Petersen

Kmod is a simple replacement for kerneld.  It consists of a
request_module() replacement and a kernel thread called kmod.  When
the
kernel requests a module, the kmod wakes up and execve()s modprobe,
passing it the name that was requested.

If you have the /proc filesystem mounted, you can set the path of
modprobe (where the kernel looks for it) by doing:

        echo "/sbin/modprobe" > /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe

To periodically unload unused modules, put something like the
following
in root's crontab entry:

        0-59/5 * * * * /sbin/rmmod -a
