Axel Dörfler 29e1a3b55b Added the module_dependency structure.
A module can now define modules it depends on, and they will be automatically
loaded before B_MODULE_INIT is called.
This information will also be evaluated by the boot loader, so that it can
load all needed modules without further hacks.
