Really, it depends on when this module is needed. If it's for a scsi
controller, or other critical system disk, it needs to be in the
initrd. If it can be loaded after the system is mostly running
(network devices, usb bits, etc) then it can be slapped in other
module locations. What sort of module is blkbk?
