Note this as a TODO if you want some drivers to be usable during the initrd.

dracut-functions instmods() seems to be broken in that it only looks for 
firmware in cases where instmods() was called with a single module as a 
parameter.  Most drivers are copied by dracut as the result of 
=groupname groups, thus firmware is not being copied for storage and 
network drivers.

A better fix might be to wait until all installs are done, then run a 
modinfo loop across all copied .ko's to install all firmware?
