You must be using really old userspace. I have loop modular, but

# modprobe ipv6; echo $?
0
# modprobe --show-depends ipv6
builtin ipv6
# strace -eopen modprobe ipv6
...
open("/lib/modules/3.12.15-3-default/modules.builtin.bin",
O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
+++ exited with 0 +++
# modprobe --version
kmod version 18
