Right, but the files that it reads are generated in kernel.bbclass, right ?
If so, the generation of those files is tied to update-modules being in the
DISTRO_FEATURES and available. So if update-modules is removed, we
want to update the kernel.bbclass to have a different generation of the
autoload config files.
