[arch-general] Warning about kmod replacing modules init tools in testing.

[fredbezies]

I have two computers, both using nvidia driver.

My laptop started flawlessly, after I renamed empty file
modprobe.conf.pacsave to modprobe.conf in /etc/modprobe.d/

On my desktop computer, all went bad.

udevadm trigger doesn't work. I had to downgrade both packages (kmod
replaced by modules-init-tools) and mkinitcpio, blacklisting both of them
in my /etc/pacman.conf ignorepackage line.

My /etc/modprobe.conf is not empty :

#
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#
blacklist keucr
blacklist usblp

For now, I'm blocking upgrade for both package. I opened a bug on archlinux
BTS : https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27846

I know testing can be busted sometimes, but this bust is one the worst I've
seen for a year or so.
