This is a work in progress pull request for Driver Installer

It can install drivers and remove drivers, that is .ko files.

It currently makes a symlink to the driver on the sd card, but I need to do a bit more testing to see if this affects performance.

It will check if the driver is for the correct kernel, and architecture.

It is more or less finished, but some testing can be useful.

This does not install firmware if that is needed, unless of course the firmware is baked into the .ko file. My wifi dongle has its firmware in the linux-firmware package that is used on MiSTer, but not the driver. I have another pull request lined up, a program that can backup any personalizations in the linux image, intended for settings files and firmwares, and ssh fingerprint/keys/settings.
