Yann,

Unfortunately, This is not that simple.
Dracut will unconditionally source a lot of unwanted modules present in 
host/usr/lib/modules.d
(basically because it considers that the init system is systemd always) 
unless you tell it not to do it.

There is no option to specify another directory to look in, nor a way to 
select the only needed modules.
Only excluding them seems the way.

Also, when you asked why I put the module-setup.sh as executable. You 
are right, it is not mandatory to do
so, because dracut just sources these files. The fact is that all the 
ones that it provides are set
as executables, with no real reason.

Regards,
Thierry
