kmod is the succesor of module-init-tools and provides, besides the
usual binaries like modprobe, lsmod etc., a library libkmod which
is used by udev since version 176 to load kernel modules. That's
the main reason why we should switch to kmod now.
I've been running kmod since quite some time without any issues.
Because module-init-tools and kmod provides both the same set of
binaries we have to pkgrm module-init-tools manually prior to kmod
install.
