Description of problem:

When loading packages containing external modules, it is helpful if I can just rebuild the initramfs as a separate - direct - step.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):29-3.f35


How reproducible:100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look for clear way to engage weak-modules just for initramfs
2.
3.

Actual results:

No entry point

Expected results:

Simple entry point

Additional info:

This is most obviously helpful with the EL kernels (and our friends at ELRepo)
