Description
In classic Ubuntu we default to "most" modules which really is a very large kitchen sync.
I wonder what is a sensible and a reasonable set for server feature:
- virtio_pci virtio_mmio
- ide (or is ide dead)
- mmc
- scsi & mptfc mptsas mptscsih mptspi zfcp
- ata
- block
- nvme
- vmd
- usb/storage
Recovery might want:
- most of the USB host and dual-role drivers ?!
- all of the hid & input/keyboard stuff
- hv_*
I am kind of concerned that in the classic & core initrd we force load lots of modules without any detection if they are needed or if any devices are present at all or not.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating the server and recovery feature configuration that controls forced kernel-module loading, then compare it with the proposed storage, USB, HID, input, and Hyper-V driver groups. Done means agreeing on and implementing a sensible driver set with appropriate detection behavior.
