To make things more robust and for things to work without an initrd,
and because its a bit faster too if it's a module we are very likely
to load anyway...

I am pretty sure we should build-in all modules that are highly likely
to be used in common installs (and i am pretty sure a file system we
use per default qualifies).

binfmt_misc is mounted with that by default.

And systemd will mount the ESP and the boot loader partition with the
automounter by default, so that it's only mounted on access and
quickly unmounted again afterwards, to ensure it stays in a clean
state whenever possible. (This logic is turned off if these mounts are
explicitly listed in fstab tough, unfortunately fedora does that).
