update-modules: Insert special case work-around for a legacy corner case of a machine which supports a 2.6 kernel but is used in a distro which must use a 2.4 kernel. It's ugly, just look away now. It has the blessing of RP and hrw, however.

+# The Unslung distro uses a 2.4 kernel for a machine (the NSLU2) which
+# supports both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.  Rather than forcing OE to have
+# to deal with that unique legacy corner case, we just nullify the
+# RDEPENDS here and handle it in the Unslung image recipe. I know this
+# is ugly.  Please don't remove it unless you first make the RDEPENDS
+# line at the top of this file understand that a machine can be used
+# in both a 2.4 kernel distro and a 2.6 kernel distro.  Really, it's
+# not worth the effort to do that, so just overlook the next line.
