Documentation: remove references to /etc/modprobe.conf
Usage of /etc/modprobe.conf file was deprecated by module-init-tools and is no longer parsed by new kmod tool. References to this file are replaced in Documentation, comments and Kconfig according to the context. There are also some references to the old /etc/modules.conf from 2.4 kernels that are being removed.

82using kmod, then a request for a 'char-major-81-0' will cause
83the 'c-qcam' module to load. If you have other video sources with
84modules, you might want to assign the different minor numbers to
85different modules.
