Is this a dracut requirement, general convention, etc? I tried to search
google for a definitive document on updates/extra modules and couldn't
find much aside from Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt in the kernel tree.
This change is easy enough to make, but I'd like to get it right. :)

See below for one possible solution. It may be more correct to filter on
kernel* and updates* and extra*, but as proof of concept, it
successfully built a initramfs with a driver located at:
/updates/lsb-ft/drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas.ko

Subject: [PATCH] Support out-of-tree and updated drivers in initramfs creation
The find_kernel_modules_by_path function shouldn't filter out modules not
located underneath the /lib/modules/ver/kernel directory as out-of-tree
drivers may reside in /lib/modules/ver/extra and updated drivers in
/lib/modules/ver/updates.
