When present, modules.order will allow depmod to order the binary module
indicies for faster lookups and more deterministic behavior in resolving
aliases. We can discard this file from the buildroot after depmod is
called.
modules.builtin.bin is added as well (generated from modules.builtin),
to allow modprobe to not fail when a symbol is provided as a builtin.

Part of this is also to keep kmod a little quieter -- it spews some warnings
when modules.order and modules.builtin don't exist, and I'd rather not hide
errors/warnings if we can fix them another way. These files are, of course,
not strictly necessary, but the cost is sufficiently low enough that I consider
this a wash.
