Note that this section of the manual is about loading modules from the
initrd.

My understanding is that Johannes would instead like to have out-of-tree
modules (modules not part of linux-libre) loadable once the system is
booted.  Is that correct?

In that case you’d need to arrange to have these modules in
$LINUX_MODULE_DIRECTORY.  There’s currently no easy way to do that, but
this could be added.

HTH!
