185156015b Add a few more heuristics to modload:
1: generate the outfile in /tmp if it's not specified explicitly.
2: if the outfile was implicitly placed in /tmp, automatically remove it.

This means that you can type: modload /lkm/ipfw_mod.o and it'll work, it
wont try and write to /lkm, and it wont leave the (normally) useless
symbol file.

This should not interfere with things like ibcs2 and atapi, which
export some symbols from one LKM to the other by leaving the symbol file.

cdf14730ab Make modload calculate a reasonable default entry point name, in light
of the recent changes to bsd.kmod.mk, which enforces that the entry
point be <modname>_mod, unless overridden.

This means that when modloading "/lkm/foo_mod.o", it'll use "foo_mod"
as the default entry point (instead of xxxinit) unless you specify
another via the -e option.

f35e67894f Make modload more informative about errors encountered while running
`ld' by calling execl() directly rather than using system().

f3932b979d Various fixes:
modload doesn't honor it's -p argument.

It also will destroy the input file when you don't specify an output
symbol file with -o.
