installing modules from outside of /

Hi,

dracut-functions instmods() seems to only look for modules
in /lib/modules/$kernel

In the case of OLPC, we are hoping to build the dracut initramfs in the
%install part of our kernel RPM package. That way, the target systems do
not need to have dracut installed in order to install the
kernel/initramfs -- avoiding a huge pile of dependencies including
cryptsetup, device-mapper, etc. This was suggested by Harald.

In this particular scenario, the modules we'd want to include in the
initramfs are not at /lib/modules/$kernel. They are at
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/lib/modules/$kernel

Can dracut be extended to work in this situation?

Thanks,
Daniel
