I don't know precisely what your modules contain or what they are used
for, but it may be simplest to just do the unpacking from the initrd
(after the real root has been mounted, but before we switch). Assuming
you use systemd in your initrd, the relevant targets to order your
service before/after can be found in "man 7 bootup".
