   1 Features:
   2 =========
   3
   4 * config: configs that do not need to be matched by fnmatch() could be using a
   5   vector instead of a list. This way we could search in it by calling
   6   bsearch().
   7
   8 * index: drop the "open(), seek(), read()" implementation and use another one
   9   with mmap(). When lookup() is called and the file is not mmaped, mmap it.
  10
  11 * create test-mock library to be LD_PRELOAD'ed before running the binaries
  12   so we're able to create unit tests
  13
  14 * Add functions to dump configuration
  15
  16 * Add functions list all modules known by modules.dep
  17
  18 * provide 1:1 compatibility with module-init-tools's modprobe
  19    - dump configuration
  20    - 'modprobe -r' should remove modules which usecount became 0 because of
  21      module's removal
  22
  23 * provide depmod:
  24    - 1:1 compatible kmod-depmod.c
  25    - add missing -F and -E
  26
  27 * review API, maybe unify all of these setters:
  28    - kmod_module_version_get_symbol()
  29    - kmod_module_version_get_crc()
  30    - kmod_module_symbol_get_symbol()
  31    - kmod_module_symbol_get_crc()
  32    - kmod_module_dependency_symbol_get_symbol()
  33    - kmod_module_dependency_symbol_get_crc()
  34    - kmod_module_versions_free_list()
  35    - kmod_module_symbols_free_list()
  36    - kmod_module_dependency_symbols_free_list()
  37
  38 * provide modules.archive, a cache file with all modules compressed
  39   and a fast access. It's like a tar.gz, but with each entry
  40   compressed as opposed to the whole tar compressed, easy to pick
  41   individual entries, that is, more like .gz.tar. As zlib compression
  42   does not store the uncompressed file size, this could provide
  43   it. The file format should be something like:
  44      MAGIC-ID
  45      DIRECTORY-ENTRY-SIZE
  46      DIRECTORY (hash-like format, points to file offset and size)
  47      ENTRIES (each is a compressed module)
  48   Helper binary to:
  49      kmod-archive list
  50      kmod-archive add path.ko
  51      kmod-archive rm path.ko
  52      kmod-archive get path.ko
  53      kmod-archive exists path.ko

  59 Things to be added removed in kernel (check what is really needed):
  60 ===================================================================
  61
  62 * list of currently loaded modules
  63
  64 * module's size should be available under /sys
  65
  66 * kill /proc/modules ?
