[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/2] eal/linux: Add support for handling built-in kernel modules

Currently rte_eal_check_module() detects Linux kernel modules via reading
/proc/modules. Built-in ones aren't listed there and therefore they are not
being found by the script.

Add support for checking built-in modules with parsing the sysfs files
