[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t 1/2] lib/kmod: Fail if the module is already loaded

[Chris Wilson]

If we want to set new module options, we must load the module or die
trying. We may want to always fail if the module if already loaded, but
for now, take the small incremental step and insist that the options are
set if requested.
