Changelog extract

        * Replace ftw() with modutils specific xftw().
        * Use absolute filename in __insmod symbol.
        * Generate modules.pcimap from MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE().

Replacing ftw() with modutils specific xftw() fixes problems with the
new "build" symlink.  With modutils 2.3.14 you can specify a path of
/lib/modules/`uname -r` without running the risk of scanning all of the
kernel source tree.

/lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.pcimap is automatically generated from
any MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(pci) statments.  Sample output.

# module             vendor     device     subvendor  subdevice  class      class_mask driver_data
eepro100             0x00008086 0x00001229 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000
eepro100             0x00008086 0x00001209 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000

Using modules.pcimap to probe the correct modules for PCI hardware is
left as an exercise for the Linux distributors :).
