> And yes, "modprobe" is only used to easily get the requirements.

Explicitly:
  0) Expand short names: "pcmcia" ==> "kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia.ko".
  1) Compute transitive closure of Requires from modules.dep.
  2) Ignore modules listed in modules.builtin.
  3) Handle aliasing of underscore and minus:
     "usb_storage" ==> "usb-storage".
