'blacklist' is fine. It usually only blacklists aliases of a module, but
udev uses 'modprobe -b', which blacklists the module name as well - this
is the behaviour I was trying to mimic with load-modules.sh.

If we could just have a statement like
 include /run/modprobe.d/
in a modprobe config file. At least nothing like this is documented.
