I've traced the /lib/modules entries to a bug in unionfs: modprobe opens
the kernel modules O_RDWR in order that it can take out a write lock
(but it does not actually copy them), and when it close()s them unionfs
copies-up an entry to the copy-on-write filesystem, even though that
isn't necessary. I'm reporting this to the unionfs mailing list now.
