Basically, the intention of the modules in the ramdisk is to get the machine up on the network. There are some size limitations to the ramdisk, so the disk modules are not in it and are fetched from that tarball. So the main purpose of the my_modules tree is to allow the addition of modules necessary to get the network up.
