It could do the same thing as mkinitrd does by default (approx):
- check if SCSI drivers are needed (scsi_hostadapter lines in
modules.conf), if so add them to initrd and make sure to
preload scsi_mod and sd_mod.
- check the current lvm configuration, and if any of the pv's are MD
devices, pre-load the appropriate raid[0145] module as well (can
determine via /proc/mdstat).
Alternatively, options for specifying modules would work too. :)
