kmod-24 does it in this order:

        DBG(ctx, "lookup modules.dep %s\n", alias);
... (if found, stop)
        DBG(ctx, "lookup modules.symbols %s\n", alias);
... (if found, stop)
        DBG(ctx, "lookup install and remove commands %s\n", alias);
... (if found, stop)
        DBG(ctx, "lookup modules.aliases %s\n", alias);
... (if found, stop)
        DBG(ctx, "lookup modules.builtin %s\n", alias);

modules.builtin is just available as modules.builtin.bin, hmmm...
