[yocto] using module_autoload

[Katu Txakur]

Guys,
I'm using the gumstix repo
https://github.com/gumstix/Gumstix-YoctoProject-Repo and I don't have any
module-split bbclass.
The module.bbclass inherits module-base.bbclass and module_strip.bbclass,
but the latest is empty.
Do you think my problem could be related with that? module_strip is also
inherited by kernel.bbclass

thanks a lot,
Katu
