That patch on itself is fine. But I think it is time for a more general
way of adding stuff to an initrd that should be accessable for the
kernel before the kernel is "really" running (for example bootsplash).
So I would propose to have a new kind of initial image that consists of
an archive of all kinds of files. One of them is the initrd, of course.

Bas.
