A final nail in the coffin of a host-dracut option, is that host-dracut
is not user-selectable; the kconfig symbol does not have a prompt, and
is only selectable by something else, like fs/cpio's dracut option.

On another note, users who had a post-image script that uses dracut from
before we introduced it, were obviously not using host-dracut, but a
dracut from their host, and so they most probably can't use extra
modules in that case, so we do not need to catter to those either.

So, I'll resubmit as you suggested.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
