I've no idea what it's supposed to do, I'm just reporting what it actually does.
The various akmods run at boot, as a service. Specifically, akmod-nvidia checks to see if there's a kmod-nvidia for the current kernel. If there is, it exits; if not, it builds one and then exits. Yes, you can also use --force to make it build a new kmod before rebooting, but it shouldn't be needed.
