iBCS module and other kernel loadable modules

[warlord at MIT.EDU (Derek Atkins)]

IBCS is a separate module, and when you installed it, you installed
the kernel-ibcs package (assuming RedHat).  When you upgrade the
kernel, you need to upgrade that as well.  The same separation
is true of the PCMCIA modules.
