What is the /boot/modules-info file?
I've been doing some online searching, and the best I can find is it
is an exampe of a RPM resource, and no one can figure out what it's
for.

A Redhat'ism, nothing in the standard kernel or modutils uses it. Ask RH.

Its a table of drivers, arguments to the module etc for common modules,
used by the various config tools to help guide installs etc
