This patch series allows modprobe to be called with a direct path to a
module object. This is specially useful for testing just compiled modules when
they have dependencies, which are loaded with insmod.

Gustavo Sousa (2):
  modprobe: Move insertion block into separate function
  modprobe: Allow passing path to module
