Modules mod1, mod2 and mod3 can now be blacklisted by passing

modprobe.blacklist=mod1,mod2,mod3

on the kernel command line.

This is useful in case a module prevents the system from booting.


I've got a patch from PiterPUNK in a local git tree for that, and
I *thought* we'd sent it to Jon back in November  :/  Here's the
patch (attached):

Ah, I was not aware of this. The code looks very similar, except for
different syntax.

I don't recall the previous patch, oh well. In any case, the one Tom
sent seems reasonable. Unless Robby really minds, I'll pull the newer
one (comma-delimited list). If there's an established use of the ":"
syntax, let me know though.


That's easy enough to change either way.  Assuming PiterPUNK is okay
with the merge (since it was his patch, not mine), and I think he was
okay with it, given his earlier message, let's go with it.  After all,
the important part is that the functionality is present.
