This patchset replaces the exec'ing of modprobe to load/unload kernel
modules with a set of helper functions to check, load and unload
kernel modules.  This is both cleaner and faster and allows finer
grained error checking on module load/unload failure points.

Colin Ian King (3):
  src/lib: add module probing helper functions
  lib: fwts_efi_module: use the new module loading helper functions
  lib/fwts_cpu: use new use the new module loading helper functions
