Mohammed Naser 6f1b51627f modprobe.d: use $TMP_MOUNT_PATH 
The hook inside extra-data.d runs outside the chroot when
building the image which means that we need to prefix paths
inside the hook to avoid running things on the host.

We also run it with sudo because if we're running DIB not
as root, /etc is uid 0 and we'll get a permission denied.

modprobe

Allows to configure specific modprobe options on the image.

It contains the following functionalities:

  1. Ability to blacklist specific modules using modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. In order to use set DIB_MODPROBE_BLACKLIST to the name of your module. To disable multiple modules you can set DIB_MODPROBE_BLACKLIST to a list of string separated by spaces.

    Example:

    export DIB_MODPROBE_BLACKLIST="igb"

  2. Ability to copy specific files into /etc/modprobe.d directory, so it allows to configure settings with freedom. To achieve that, the files to be copied needs to be placed inside an specific modprobe.d directory of the element.
