I create the marker during initrd modifying.
 I'm sorry, I had to explain the logic as a whole instead of requesting approval
for a part.
 So, the idea is a quite straightforward: if DL is installing from DL (i.e. the
system was booted up from cd and then install-on-usb/hdd was executed) I'm able
to define what block device/fs modules have to be preloaded - and I modify
initrd in order to keep only necessary modules there. Then I set the marker
/tmp/PROBE_ALL_MODULES. So, since I'm not able to load only really necessary
modules (udev behavior) I load all modules but remove unnecessary ones before.

That's it.

Please  inform me  If you don't like that addition. I'm not sure that it's a
really brilliant idea and it must be included to our mainstream codebase.
