initrds generally aren't prepackaged, but generated on install (at least
with Fedora). Y

But do you use an initrd that tries to load the same driver too?

I've merged it all, but it causes lots of scary warnings:
- from the purely broken ones:
ehci_hcd: no version for "struct_module"
Due to the low level nature of these patches, and because they touch so
many different parts of the kernel, a number of the subsystem
maintainers have asked me to get them in first to make merging other
trees easier.
Here are a pretty large number of kobject, documentation, and driver
core patches
