Documentation: replace install commands with softdeps
Install commands should not be used to specify soft dependencies among modules. When loading modules it's much better to have a softdep that modprobe knows what's being done than having to fork/exec another instance of modprobe to load the other module. By using a softdep user has also an option to remove the dependencies when removing the module (and if its refcount dropped to 0) Signed-off-by: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.demarchi@profusion.mobi> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

In this case, the following can be added to config files in

/etc/modprobe.d/ as:
|

|

install bonding /sbin/modprobe tg3; /sbin/modprobe e1000;
|
||||
/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install bonding
|
||||
softdep bonding pre: tg3 e1000
|
||||
|
||||
This will load tg3 and e1000 modules before loading the bonding one.

Full documentation on this can be found in the modprobe.d and modprobe
