Add modules to sysfs

This patch adds basic kobject support to struct module, and it creates a 
/sys/module directory which contains all of the individual modules.  Each
module currently exports the refcount (if they are unloadable) and any
module paramaters that are marked exportable in sysfs.

Was written by me and Rusty over and over many times during the past 6 months.
