You can move the reload-inject to the end, but something I would like
for CI to start doing is not allowing i915 to load during the boot. We
miss error messages from that first load that do not appear again later.
:(

That again is an unusual configuration (so we still need
initramfs/builtin checking). Combitorial explosions of combitorial
explosions.

Anyway reload-final really should be the final operation irrespective of
this discussion :)
