All, Working on the postinstall improvements I stumbled over update-modules script which postponed postinstalls for all the kernel or kernel module packages for first boot. However, after some investigations I saw that this script is pretty much obsolete. So, this patchset will remove it from all recipes and bbclasses it was referenced.
Here's why it's useless now: update-modules was used mainly to create the /etc/modules.conf file, out of files in /etc/modutils, and /etc/modules file from /etc/modules-load.d/*.conf files. Then it just ran depmod -A. * depmod can be run in the postinst/postrm on its own, no need to run through update-modules; * /etc/modules.conf is not used anymore by modprobe. modprobe now looks in /etc/modprobe.d/ directory for *.conf files; * /etc/modules was used by /etc/init.d/modutils.sh to automatically load modules at boot. However, I improved the script in order to also look into /etc/modules-load.d/ directory and load all the modules listed there that were not already loaded (in case /etc/modules existed); I know this is a major change and will affect a lot of people. But, in order to support RO rootfs and run all the postinstalls on host, this change was kind of necessary. Note, though, that the update-modules recipe was not removed yet. It will be removed eventually but, for now, I decided to leave it in place in case some people are nostalgic and want to still use it for a while. Feel free to review and comment on the change.
