I just came across this and was wondering what the situation is with 
respect to systemd's module loading. Is there actually a mechanism in 
place for populating systemd's /etc/modules-load.d folder?

The "module_autoload_xx" directives populate /etc/modutils but not 
/etc/modules-load.d. As far as I can tell this means that one still 
needs to include the old modutils.sh script to autoload modules (via 
modutils-initscripts package). With this patch, you need to boot the 
system twice in order for the kernel modules to be auto-loaded (because 
update-modules does not reload modutils.sh immediately after adding the 
modules).

Are we in a transition period where module-autoload is not yet 
implemented via the systemd method but update-modules doesn't quite play 
ball properly with that, or is there already a mechanism for populating 
modules-load.d that I haven't found yet? (Other than doing it by hand).

Thanks,
Kelvin.
