[Bug 338806] [NEW] Eliminate calls to modprobe

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

initramfs-tools and other scripts using the initramfs to call modprobe,
or using force_load_module, etc. will be audited.  Any modules capable
of auto-loading will have their calls eliminated since they are a
performance drag, any modules not capable of auto-loading may just be
built into the kernel on the basis that it's pretty hard to stop them
loading if they're loaded here.

Additional tasks will be opened for this bug on other packages found.
