While discussing a hardware id question, I started thinking about how module
override works with respect to IDs. So far, I know that modules in updates/
(and weak-updates/) override modules in other directories as far as modules.dep
is concerned, i.e., modules override others with the same name.

But what what does depmod do when multiple modules support the same hardware
ids? Does this follow the same priority rules, i.e., will modules in updates/
also override the hardware ids of other modules?

Could you please try to find this out, Michal? We may have to reconsider a few
things, or fix this on module-init-tools.

Thanks!!

(Jiri: it seems we won't need this for the vmxnet case, but I would still like
to make sure that we can override hardware ids as well...)
