I was not careful about what I quoted.. Just stuff in that overall area.

The existing dracut script seems to assume other things, so you may
need a new dracut script. If it is totally general then it can live in
kernel-boot..

You should also consider if you need the udev triggers, I don't know
what suse policy is. Look in debian/rdma-core.postinst and others.

Adding them allows the udev rules to trigger on package install and
makes everything start working without a reboot.
