Put the differences between kmod and module-init-tools in the README file so it's more visible.

-===================================================================
-
-modprobe
---------
-
-* 'modprobe -l' was marked as deprecated and does not exist anymore
-
-* 'modprobe -t' is gone, together with 'modprobe -l'
-
-* there's and additional '--remove-dependencies' flags to modprobe so we
- can remove modules depending on that one
-
-* modprobe doesn't parse configuration files with names not ending in
- '.alias' or '.conf'. modprobe used to warn about these files.
-
-* modprobe doesn't parse 'config' and 'include' commands in configuration
- files.
-
-* modprobe from m-i-t does not honour softdeps for install commands. E.g.:
- config:
-
- install bli "echo bli"
- install bla "echo bla"
- softdep bla pre: bli
-
- With m-i-t, the output of 'modprobe --show-depends bla' will be:
- install "echo bla"
-
- While with kmod:
- install "echo bli"
- install "echo bla"
-
-* kmod doesn't dump the configuration as is in the config files. Instead it
- dumps the configuration as it was parsed. Therefore, comments and file names
- are not dumped, but on the good side we know what the exact configuration
- kmod is using. We did this because if we only want to know the entire content
- of configuration files, it's enough to use find(1) in modprobe.d directories
-
-depmod
-------
-
-* there's no 'depmod -m' option: legacy modules.*map files are gone
-
-lsmod
------
-
-* information is parsed from /sys instead of /proc/modules
