Version 0
# The version 0 module-info format is ('|' denotes the left margin):
# |<module-name>
# | <module-type> [<module-alias>]
# | "<description-string>"
# | <argument> "<argument-description-string>" ["<match-regex>" ["<default>"]]
# |# <comment>
# Stanzas are delimited by non-indented lines, and continued with indented lines.
# Comments start in the first column, or are preceded only by whitespace.
# The []'s above are not literal, they delimit optional material.
# There can be multiple <argument> lines.
# <module-name> is the name of the module without any .o extension, just
# as the module name would be entered in /etc/modules.conf
# <module-type> is the base part of the string demanded by kerneld (eth,
# scsi_hostadapter, etc.)
# <module-alias> is an optional identifier to identify groups of similar
# drivers, such as the non-scsi cdrom devices which are requested by
# block-major-*; they are given an alias of "cdrom".
# <description-string> is a free-form string enclosed in quotes to describe
# the module to a human reader
# <argument> is an argument such as io or irq, as understood by the module
# <argument-description-string> is a free-form description
# <match-regex> is a regular expression which can be used to test the
# validity of a user-entered string
# <default> is a default value. This should not be provided unless it is
# almost always the correct value, and will not, say, hang a user's computer
# if it is wrong
#
# Ideas for version 1 file format:
# o Add long description, presumably including all known cards supported
# by the module in question
# o Sub-argument description, for arguments which have multiple parts
# separated by commas, particularly ones which share code with boot-time
# arguments.
# o Optional architecture flag(?)
