[OE-core] update-alternatives and kernel modules

[Mark Hatle]

I have someone who is trying to use update-alternatives with kernel modules.

They discovered that the rename code changes the name of the module to end in 
.ko.${BPN}.  While the package.bbclass code specifically looks for the file name 
to end in '.ko' in order to avoid stripping the modules... so of course the 
modules get stripped and no longer work properly.

So my question is, is it even reasonable to use update-alternatives with kernel 
modules?  If it is, we probably need to change the trigger in packages.bbclass 
to look for either .ko or .ko.${BPN} (or something similar).

Any comments/suggestions?
