do we really nead the test_modprobe function?
I think we can just remove that completely.
Also remove a lot in load_req_mod and only do: modprobe $TEST_DRIVER
if it fails its a non fatal error and we can go on and have a new
function in all
the tests sysctl_test_000(1|2|3|4|5) that checks for the files.
Maybe do something like this:
