ref-manual: Updated the module_autoload variable.

Browse Source 
This variable has been replaced by the KERNEL_MODULE_AUTOLOAD
variable.  I updated the description to note that and to provide
a cross-reference to the new variable.

(From yocto-docs rev: 8b2f464f7d100db1c585ccc62d7cab89f7f7b164)

<para>
Lists kernel modules that need to be auto-loaded during
boot.
</para>
<para>
You can use this variable anywhere that it can be
recognized by the kernel recipe or out-of-tree kernel
module recipe (e.g. a machine configuration file, a
distribution configuration file, an append file for the
recipe, or the recipe itself).
</para>
<para>
Specify it as follows:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
module_autoload_&lt;modname&gt; = "modname1 modname2 modname3"
</literallayout>
You must use the kernel module name override.
</para>
<para>
Including <filename>module_autoload</filename> causes the
OpenEmbedded build system to populate the
<filename>/etc/modules-load.d/modname.conf</filename>
file with the list of modules to be auto-loaded on boot.
The modules appear one-per-line in the file.
Here is an example of the most common use case:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
module_autoload_modname = "modname"
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
For information on how to populate the
<filename>modname.conf</filename> file with
<filename>modprobe.d</filename> syntax lines, see the
<link linkend='var-module_conf'><filename>module_conf</filename></link>
variable.
This variable has been replaced by the
<filename>KERNEL_MODULE_AUTOLOAD</filename> variable.
You should replace all occurrences of the
<filename>module_autoload</filename> variable with
<filename>KERNEL_MODULE_AUTOLOAD</filename> variables.
See the
<link linkend='var-KERNEL_MODULE_AUTOLOAD'><filename>KERNEL_MODULE_AUTOLOAD</filename></link>
variable for a description of the variable.
