Indeed. I'd also have to fix the libkmod counterpart, otherwise it
would look for the wrong file.
This index contains only the alias -> module, like our modules.alias file.

I think it would be better to leave it with this name.  It would
probably be good to output
modules.builtin.alias though to make it similar to the
modules.alias/modules.alias.bin case.
Another option is to just add those aliases to modules.alias and
lookup modules.builtin to decide
if that's builtin, but I  think I prefer to keep them separate.
