NAME
       modules-load.d - Configure kernel modules to load at boot
SYNOPSIS
       /etc/modules-load.d/*.conf
       /run/modules-load.d/*.conf
       /usr/lib/modules-load.d/*.conf
DESCRIPTION
       systemd-modules-load.service(8) reads files from the above directories
       which contain kernel modules to load during boot in a static list. Each
       configuration file is named in the style of
       /etc/modules-load.d/program.conf. Note that it is usually a better idea
       to rely on the automatic module loading by PCI IDs, USB IDs, DMI IDs or
       similar triggers encoded in the kernel modules themselves instead of
       static configuration like this. In fact, most modern kernel modules are
       prepared for automatic loading already.
CONFIGURATION FORMAT
       The configuration files should simply contain a list of kernel module
       names to load, separated by newlines. Empty lines and lines whose first
       non-whitespace character is # or ; are ignored.
CONFIGURATION DIRECTORIES AND PRECEDENCE
       Configuration files are read from directories in /etc/, /run/, and
       /usr/lib/, in order of precedence. Each configuration file in these
       configuration directories shall be named in the style of filename.conf.
       Files in /etc/ override files with the same name in /run/ and
       /usr/lib/. Files in /run/ override files with the same name in
       /usr/lib/.
       Packages should install their configuration files in /usr/lib/. Files
       in /etc/ are reserved for the local administrator, who may use this
       logic to override the configuration files installed by vendor packages.
       All configuration files are sorted by their filename in lexicographic
       order, regardless of which of the directories they reside in. If
       multiple files specify the same option, the entry in the file with the
       lexicographically latest name will take precedence. It is recommended
       to prefix all filenames with a two-digit number and a dash, to simplify
       the ordering of the files.
       If the administrator wants to disable a configuration file supplied by
       the vendor, the recommended way is to place a symlink to /dev/null in
       the configuration directory in /etc/, with the same filename as the
       vendor configuration file.
EXAMPLE
       Example 1. /etc/modules-load.d/virtio-net.conf example:
           # Load virtio-net.ko at boot
           virtio-net
