Denys,

It seems like modprobe no longer parse the options
in /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf

I noticed this because my UEFI laptop went all black (due to options
i915 modeset=1 not being parsed)

I did some blind troubleshooting with only HDD led as feedback and with
rmmod i915; modprobe i915 modeset=1 the console came back.

dmesg shows that evbug is loaded even if its blacklisted
in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
