Comment:

 posted an patch to implement this, once you're ready to switch the build
 box over to F11. Compile tested only.

 Probably worth waiting until dracut-modules-olpc is in F11 stable too, see
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=511916 (we're close).

 One issue is that dracut will probably have trouble finding the modules to
 include in the initramfs because of the issue I describe at
 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.initramfs/1050

 However, these modules are only needed for activation, normal boot will
 work fine without them.
