Libguestfs - Jul 2016 - [PATCH 0/2] v2v: fix setting custom modprobe options

Hi,

due to a broken discover_modpath function, and to a wrong block for a
match statement, the modprobe options for virtio/SCSI blocks where not
written at all.

This series provides a small refactor, and the fixes.

Thanks,

First check for the existence of the directory /etc/modprobe.d, in case
using a file under it; this also skips all the other checks, since they
are not needed at all.  Also /etc/modprobe.d exists on recent Linux
versions, so let's give priority to the more common methods.
When /etc/modprobe.d does not exist, check for the file to edit using a
single list of possible files, now in order of priority, where the first
find is used without checking further for the rest.

Also, make sure all the returned paths are absolute: they are used in
Augeas paths later on, so relative paths will not do anything useful.

OK this looks like a natural rewrite of the existing function, except
always returning an absolute path instead of a mix.

ACK.
