The logic to process mod-extra.list finds modules that depend on
the modules in that list and includes those in kernel-module-extra
as well. This logic is broken, because it does not account for
multi-layer dependency chains. Specifically, if a module depends
on another module, and only the second one depends on something in
mod-extra.list, then only the second would get moved. This leaves the
first module in the kernel package, resulting in WARNING messages
when the kernel rpm is installed:

This patch reverses that logic, so that anything in kernel with
a dependency on something in mod-extra.list will cause the module
in mod-extra.list to be treated as if it was _not_ in that list.
This prevents the WARNING lines above.

The variant kernels (e.g. PAE) Provide kernel-%{_target_cpu}, which doesn't
include the variant name so we wind up with broken deps on the modules-extra
subpackage. kernel-uname-r incorporates the variant value at the end (e.g.
kernel-uname-r = 3.2.0-0.rc4.git0.2.fc17.i686.PAE)
This creates a modules-extra subpackage which places a number of less
frequently used modules into the extra directory under
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/. This reduces the size of the default kernel
package while still allowing those modules to be built and installed if
needed. We also limit the security exposure by keeping these modules out
of the default install.
