Ian Wienand 39fb794ebc Allow debootstrap to cleanup without a kernel 
Currently there's more-or-less an assumption that a kernel is
installed, so module blacklists are simply echoed into the modprobe
blacklist.  This may not be the case with some ongoing container work.

Although we don't need to blacklist modules for containers, it also
doesn't hurt.  Move the debootstrap element to the new modprobe
element, and allow it to create the blacklist directory.

modprobe

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.
