dracut-pre-udev.service slow boot (~26s) due to nvidia_peermem in 99-nvidia.conf

[Celebrium]

Describe the bug

On every boot, dracut-pre-udev.service takes ~26 seconds due to a failed modprobe call for nvidia_peermem:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_peermem': Invalid argument

This module is included via /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d/99-nvidia.conf:

force_drivers+=" i915 amdgpu nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia_peermem nvidia_uvm "

AFAIK, nvidia_peermem is a datacenter/HPC module for NVLink/InfiniBand GPU-to-GPU communication. It has no relevance on a desktop system and fails to load with Invalid argument on consumer hardware (tested on RTX 2070).

Workaround attempts

• modprobe.blacklist=nvidia_peermem via rpm-ostree kargs — module still loaded by dracut hook before kernel args take effect
• /etc/dracut.conf.d/99-nvidia-override.conf with force_drivers without nvidia_peermem and omit_drivers+=" nvidia_peermem " — did not prevent the module from being included in initramfs

What did you expect to happen?

nvidia_peermem should either be removed from 99-nvidia.conf on desktop images, or only included conditionally when relevant hardware is detected.
