[thimk][root][~] lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
lsmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented

  I think I may have found the solution.  First of all, the system is
running mdev from busybox, instead of udev.  Secondly, I found
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-955120-start-0.html which suggests

* unmerge modutils

* emerge kmod, with the "tools" USE flag.

  Before I screw anything up, does this sound reasonable?
