Yes. The reason is the SCSI and RAID Controller Support.
Only a few people use SCSI Systems and for this I  only provide IDE within the Kernel.
But to run from a SCSI CDROM, we need to load the module within the InitRD.
build/scripts/linux copies this modules which are then used by build-iso and added to the initrd.
