This is simply not correct.

- add simple first-draft unoptimized depmod just to proove Vladimir Dronnikov wrong
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
    569	      0	      0	    569	    239	modutils/depmod.o

And note that this is bloated as hell. Without support for compressed
modules, we should get away with <= 500 bytes. Shrink it to below 500
bytes and then we can eventually add optional decompression to the
thing, fwiw.
