[PATCH] dracut: scan and install external kernel modules

[Hui Wang <john.wanghui@xxxxxxxxxx>]

since kmod-25 keyword "external" was implemented in order to avoid
additional actions(like weak-modules) when kernel was updated, which
makes it more simple while kernels' kabi were compatible.

but if move some special modules such as megaraid_sas, mpt3sas and
so on, to a external path like /opt/modules, these modules will not
be install to initramfs by default, which make the initramfs can't
be used to boot for disk detection failure.

according to kmod's document, you must specify a absolute path with
"external" keyword, so scan the lines in modules.dep that begin with
"/" and install them, to make sure necessary modules in external path
can be installed to initramfs too.
