When loading modules, libvirt does not honor the modprobe blacklist.
By adding a "-b" to the modprobe command libvirt will fail to load a
module if it's on the blacklist
Check if the failure to load a driver was due to it being on the blacklist
using the output of a "modprobe -c" searching for "blacklist
<driver_Name>"
where driver_Name is possibly a modified string of the input driver changing
all '-' into '_' since that's what modprobe does.

IIUC the reason this check is here and not in virkmod.c is that 'modprobe -b
<module>' on a blacklisted module returns 0 and no output.
Could we check if the module was loaded successfully inside virModprobeLoad,
perhaps by checking if the /sys/module/<module> directory exists?
