This is useful to kernel module developers for testing a just compiled module: instead of using insmod, they can load the module from the path while getting all the benefits of modprobe (e.g. module dependency resolution). v2: - Add test for relative path as well. (Lucas) - Add note warning about modules with dependencies not matching the installed depmod database.
