/****************************************************************************
 * Name: insmod
 *
 * Description:
 *   Verify that the file is an ELF module binary and, if so, load the
 *   module into kernel memory and initialize it for use.
 *
 *   NOTE: modlib_setsymtab had to have been called in board-specific OS logic
 *   prior to calling this function from application logic (perhaps via
 *   boardctl(BOARDIOC_OS_SYMTAB).  Otherwise, insmod will be unable to
 *   resolve symbols in the OS module.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *
 *   filename - Full path to the module binary to be loaded
 *   modname  - The name that can be used to refer to the module after
 *     it has been loaded.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   A non-NULL module handle that can be used on subsequent calls to other
 *   module interfaces is returned on success.  If insmod() was unable to
 *   load the module insmod() will return a NULL handle and the errno
 *   variable will be set appropriately.

/****************************************************************************
 * Name: rmmod
 *
 * Description:
 *   Remove a previously installed module from memory.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   handle - The module handler previously returned by insmod().
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   Zero (OK) on success.  On any failure, -1 (ERROR) is returned the
 *   errno value is set appropriately.
 *

/****************************************************************************
 * Name: modsym
 *
 * Description:
 *   modsym() returns the address of a symbol defined within the object that
 *   was previously made accessible through a insmod() call.  handle is the
 *   value returned from a call to insmod() (and which has not since been
 *   released via a call to rmmod()), name is the symbol's name as a
 *   character string.
 *
 *   The returned symbol address will remain valid until rmmod() is called.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   handle - The opaque, non-NULL value returned by a previous successful
 *            call to insmod().
 *   name   - A pointer to the symbol name string.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   The address associated with the symbol is returned on success.
 *   If handle does not refer to a valid module opened by insmod(), or if
 *   the named symbol cannot be found within any of the objects associated
 *   with handle, modsym() will return NULL and the errno variable will be
 *   set appropriately.

/****************************************************************************
 * Name: modhandle
 *
 * Description:
 *   modhandle() returns the module handle for the installed module with the
 *   provided name.  A secondary use of this function is to determin if a
 *   module has been loaded or not.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   name   - A pointer to the module name string.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   The non-NULL module handle previously returned by insmod() is returned
 *   on success.  If no module with that name is installed, modhandle() will
 *   return a NULL handle and the errno variable will be set appropriately.
