Modules changes for v6.11-rc1

Browse Source 
This is a super boring development cycle this time around for modules,
 there is only one patch in this pull request. The patch deals with a
 corner case set of dependencies which is not resolved today to ensure
 users get the modules they need on initramfs. Currently only one modules
 is known to exist which needs this, however this can grow to capture
 other corner cases likely escaped and not reported before. The kernel
 change is just a section update, the real work is done and merged
 already on upstream kmod.
 
 This has been on linux-next for 3 weeks now.
