In the case of Linode, they boot on a third party kernel which doesn't 
provide anything in /lib/modules/ because the kernel is not on the disk.

Another use case would be if you were to boot on a PXE kernel which has 
every of its modules built-in. You want to fail silently if 
/lib/modules/kernel/modules.builtin doesn't exist.

Yes. Loop is builtin.
