ok, who is responsible for this? kmod or systemd?

i dont agree, i some cases it makes sense. since udev is included in 
systemd and udev has now its own buildins for the modprobe stuff it 
should be possible to use kmod statically linked, esp. if no other 
installed program uses kmod (and for our usage the kmod userspace 
binarys are not neccessary)
