Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek b66a6e1a58 man: "the initial RAM disk" → "the initrd"
In many places we spelled out the phrase behind "initrd" in full, but this
isn't terribly useful. In fact, no "RAM disk" is used, so emphasizing this
is just confusing to the reader. Let's just say "initrd" everywhere, people
understand what this refers to, and that it's in fact an initramfs image.

Also, s/i.e./e.g./ where appropriate.

Also, don't say "in RAM", when in fact it's virtual memory, whose pages
may or may not be loaded in page frames in RAM, and we have no control over
this.

Also, add <filename></filename> and other minor cleanups.

<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-modules-load.service</filename> is an early boot service that loads kernel
modules. It reads static configuration from files in <filename>/usr/</filename> and
<filename>/etc/</filename>, but also runtime configuration from <filename>/run/</filename> and the kernel
command line (see below).</para>
<para>See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>modules-load.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
information about the configuration format of this service and paths where configuration files can be
created.</para>
