That shouldn't be a problem because the script that builds the initrd skips
missing modules (printing a warning).

The downside to this is that it requires the user to specify fsType in
configuration.nix.

One idea might be to have nixos-hardware-scan add the necessary kernel module to
the initrd.  I.e. it should add all modules necessary for mounting /mnt (the
target filesystem at installation time).
