[PATCH] package.bbclass: Ensure kernel modules get stripped

[Richard Purdie]

Kernel modules are not marked as executable but we do expect to strip them.
This patch adds in missing code to ensure we do this. Without this images
are getting sigificantly bloated in size.

cool, that explains why I had a 190 MB modules.tar.bz2 when building a
test image for a Pandaboard last weekend ;-)
