* 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:

* provided name. A secondary use of this function is to determine 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.
