installing the dracut-config-generic via dnf is easy enough, but do I need
to tell dracut which driver(s) to exclude or do I simply do a "dracut
--force" to get it to rebuild?  I guess the other option would be to do
something like "dracut generic-kernel.img 4.3.3-300.fc23.x86_64" and then
add that to the grub boot menu.
