+
+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.

+features:
+  - Add new modprobe element. This element will replace
+    modprobe-blacklist element. It wil still have the
+    blacklist functionality, but it also adds the feature
+    of passing a complete file with settings to the
+    modprobe.d directory. Adding this functionality, that
+    will allow elements that depends on this module, to
+    just copy the specified files to the final directory.
