Fwd: Upgrade Kernel using smart PM installs unnecessary modules

[Tarek El-Sherbiny]

Ok, so I did smart query and the problem is kernel-module package depends
on all modules. So once a new kernel is available kernel-module pulls in
all the available modules.

I need to tell kernel-module package to include only the required modules.
I guess this is OE issue and I need to ask on the OE list!
