Except for the failed unit, this doesn't cause any other problems,
right? It used to be that the missing modules.devname file would be
silently ignored. I guess we could go back to doing that.

We just have to decide if we should ignore the error in kmod or just
in the unit file. I'm tempted to make the change in kmod, so that if
no kernel is found it does nothing and returns success. Thoughts?
