Whilst testing the latest kmod, I found the following. I don't know
whether this is a problem or a feature.

As a user trying to execute an a.out I got:

Apr 28 23:16:14 shawc kernel: kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k
binfmt-0064, errno = 13

It works fine, if I try it as root, so it is some kind of permission problem.

Does this mean that root has to modprobe binfmt-0064, because an
ordinary user can't?
