kmod 4-1 does not load modules based on their aliases correctly. So the platform module for my netbook is not loaded automatically anymore.

kmod:
modprobe -R $(cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/modalias)
FATAL: Module

This will be fixed for kmod5. It's not life threatening since it only affects aliases with a '.' in them. Generally, this only applies to DMI.

Decided to backport some other fixes, pulled in this one with it. Please make sure kmod-4-2 in testing fixes this.

Yes, kmod 4-2 fixes the issue.
