There is an ongoing effort to limit use of files outside of /usr (or
$prefix on general). Currently all modprobe.d paths are hardcoded to
outside of $prefix. Teach kmod to load modprobe.d from $prefix/lib.

/lib came from module-init-tools and we kept it for compatibility. It
became a non-issue when distros
decided to just merge them and do a symlink /lib -> /usr/lib following
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/TheCaseForTheUsrMerge/

what distros didn't do that?

FWiW, we decided not to do TheUsrMerge at all.
