I don't understand the repulsion towards having the modules in
/usr/lib. What difference does it make? None, unless you want the three
following conditions: no initramfs, /usr being a mountpoint, some
drivers and filesystems compiled in the kernel, but missing just the one
for /usr. You've got to work pretty hard to fulfill these conditions.
