Upstream modprobe from module-init-tools (the version 3.12 at least)
has such options. The -D is the short option for --show-depends. The
man 8 modprobe describes it.
I have used it on current Archlinux, on Ubuntu 09.10.
Now i found it on Debian 5.0. This distributive has module-init-tools
version 3.4.
The Arch's utility hwdetect (script to detect hardware) use this
feature from upstream modprobe. So it cause for me to implement -D in
busybox. I don't want use big module-init-tools in my buildroot
embedded system.
