I guess that I expressed myself badly.
AIUI, the symlink from "/etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf" to
"/etc/modules" is a good transition mechanism for loading a module
early when booting via systemd but, unlike sysvinit, systemd cannot
load module options from that file/directory so you have to use
"/etc/modprobe.d/" to load options (over and above "/etc/modules").
