Thanks to the MODALIAS line at the beginning of mdev.conf, mdev supports
module auto probing on hotplug.
However, this does not work for cold plugged modules (i.e. modules for
devices that were probed before mdev is added as hotplug handler).
Running mdev -s to replay hotplug events does not work in that case.
I'd rather have this in a seperate bootscript, like this (which performs the
same but applies a filter):
https://github.com/topic-embedded-products/meta-topic/tree/master/recipes-core/module-init-tools
This gives users a choice as to whether or not they want this to happen.
Another note: Since this runs at each and every boot, it'd be wise to optimize
this for performance. That "sort -u" might be bad for performance, and
modprobe doesn't mind if modules were already probed.
Let's manually modprobe all modules in the rootfs.

We need xargs to support zero termination of args so let's enable this
configuration in the fragment for mdev.
