BB depmod has ability to dump alias= definitions to modules.dep. When
I later run BB modprobe which uses modules.dep which was generated
with BB depmod (which has dumped alias= definitions :) I get SEGV.
Modprobe indeed has alias support. Wrong is the way modprobe treats
some alias definitions (which contain ":") as if they were
dependencies definitions which in turn use ":" as the delimiter too!
I'll send a quick and dirty patch in separate.
