[RFC] More meaningful information about ENOEXEC for kldload(8)

Hi,

Here is a simple patch that adds more meaning messages when kldload hits
ENOEXEC.

Before patch:

kldload: can't load geom_eli.ko: Exec format error

After patch:

kldload: can't load geom_eli.ko: Exec format error
kldload: Dependendent kernel module cannot be loaded from kern.module_path?

Comments?

Cheers,
