Title:
  hw-detect modprobes blindly, ignoring blacklists

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:

  ---Problem Description---
  modprobe does not honor blacklist options in kernel cmdline unless -b is used 
(at least on the installer)

  The modprobe.blacklist option is required as a work-around until a solution 
to a device-driver bug is found (IBM LTC bug 138273).
   
  I've gone through the code of the kmod src pkg, but didn't spot anything 
obvious.
  Passing along to the Ubuntu team.

  ---Steps to Reproduce---
   Boot the installer w/ this boot/kernel cmdline option (the alias w/ dashes 
is not required, but is here just in case):
      modprobe.blacklist=scsi_dh_alua,scsi-dh-alua    

  On the dialog for username/password, select Go Back, then Exit to
  shell:

  The blacklist is detected/present in the config:

  ~ # modprobe -c | grep alua
  blacklist scsi_dh_alua
  blacklist scsi-dh-alua

  But the module is insmod-ed anyway:

  ~ # modprobe -v -n scsi-dh-alua
  insmod 
/lib/modules/4.4.0-21-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_alua.ko
 

  Unless -b is used:

  ~ # modprobe -v -n -b scsi-dh-alua
  ~ #

  Installer kernel:
  [    0.000000] Linux version 4.4.0-21-generic (buildd@bos01-ppc64el-017) (gcc 
version 5.3.1 20160413 (Ubuntu/IBM 5.3.1-14ubuntu2) ) #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 18
