Hi,

Attatched is a patch that adds support for the 'blacklist' command in
modprobe.conf. This useful if you want prevent your hardware
autodetection scripts to load modules like evdev, frame buffer drivers
etc.

Just like standard modprobe you can still modprobe blacklisted modules
by specifying them directly.

On x86 glibc/gcc-4 the patch reduced size with 6 bytes when the
blacklist was disabled (due to the is_conf_command function)
