The initial reason for this is for split module trees as used e.g. by an
installer - so you might need to provide (kernel specific) drivers that
aren't in the usual location, but instead in a tmpfs after the installer
read them in from individual driver disks. This is the case for Fedora
and RHEL, and probably other distributions.

I will send an example. Also, I'm really glad to see your work on symbol
sorting going in upstream. Thanks for your hard work!
