modinfo: handle arguments more carefully
A simple case of breakage before this commit:
$ touch aes
$ modinfo aes
filename: /tmp/aes
ERROR: could not get modinfo from 'aes': Invalid argument
Add a new is_module_filename() function that attempts to do more than
just check if the passed argument is a regular file. We look at the name
for a '.ko' string, and if that is found, ensure it is either at the end
of the string or followed by another '.' (for .gz and .xz modules, for
instance). We don't make this second option conditional on the way the
tools are built with compression support; the file is a module file
regardless and should always be treated that way.
When doing this, and noticed in the test suite output, we open the
system modules index unconditionally, even if it is never going to be
used during the modinfo call, which is the case when passing module
filenames directly. For only one module there's not much advantage in
pre-loading the index, so just remove the call to kmod_load_resources().

Fix unaligned memory access in hash function
Use a function to properly get an unsigned short from memory that is
possibly unaligned.
Note that it implicitly fixes a small bug in the hash function that
was introduced when modifying the eina code: the line "hash ^= key[2]
<< 18;" is supposed to be accessing the 3rd byte of the remainder of
the input, but when 'it' was introduced, 'key' ('data' in eina code)
was no longer incremented, so this ended up accessing the 3rd byte of
the input from the beginning. This is fixed by iterating over 'key',
like the eina code does.
Before this patch depmod was failing on ARMv5 and possibly others that
don't have unaligned access. They do not calculate correctly the
dependencies as shown below:
[root@alarm ~]# modinfo bridge
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.39.4/kernel/net/bridge/bridge.ko
version: 2.3
license: GPL

kernel/net/bridge/bridge.ko:

See how modinfo properly lists the dependencies, but modules.dep which
depmod generates does not contain them. As a result, most kernel

README: add link to packages place
A lot of people trying to get latest package from cgit is not good.
They should get the package from the released versions instead.

build-sys: do not create symlinks by default
Distro packagers should create them instead. It's too much trouble to
create them in the build system and every distro wants a different path
for them.

modprobe: kill operations depending on path
It was not on module-init-tools and it doesn't make much sense. It will
deal with dependencies, but looking at modules in the index. This might
not be the module we want if we are loading another from outside of the
tree.
Dealing with paths causes this bug (supposing there's a module names
squashfs):
# cd /
# touch squashfs
# modprobe squashfs
That is because it detects that squashfs exists as a file and it will
try to load it instead of the alias "squashfs".
If you need to load a module from a path, use insmod.
Thanks to Silvan Calarco <silvan.calarco@mambasoft.it> who reported the
bug and helped debugging it.

If link already existed we would fail. Really not important for
