Public bug reported:

[Impact]
On certain arm64 platforms, modules will not load. This doesn't impact any 
certified hardware to date, but is known to impact some pre-release platforms, 
as well as QEMU when a virtio-rng-pci device is attached.

[Test Case]
On a xenial/arm64 host, run:

sudo apt install qemu-system-arm qemu-efi
wget 
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/yakkety/main/installer-arm64/20101020ubuntu483/images/netboot/mini.iso
cp /usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_CODE.fd flash0.img
cp /usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_VARS.fd flash1.img
sudo qemu-system-aarch64 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -cpu host -M virt,gic_version=host 
-nographic -pflash flash0.img -pflash flash1.img -drive 
file=mini.iso,id=cdrom,if=none,media=cdrom -device virtio-scsi-device -device 
scsi-cd,drive=cdrom -device virtio-rng-pci

Select Install from the GRUB menu, and continue through the installer
menus to "Detect network hardware".

On failure, the installer will report 'Error while running "modprobe -v
-b usb-storage"'. On success, it'll continue through to the network
configuration screens.

[Regression Risk]
This will be a simple cherry pick from upstream, so we'll have upstream support 
w/ any regressions.
