Sorry, should have stated that explicitly. Presence in
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules gets the module modprobed before pivot_root.

from mkinitramfs(8):
   /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
     Specified modules will be put in the generated image and loaded
     when the system boots. The format - one per line - is identical
     to that of /etc/modules, which is described in modules(5).
