It's already been incorporated into recent kernels, although I couldn't
find the option in amd64. I'm trying it out on my laptop but I'm having
a problem getting the v86d files into my initrd. INITRAMFS_SOURCE
doesn't work, probably debian's make-kpkg overriding it. How do you get
make-kpkg to add things to an initrd based on a "config file parsable by
gen_init_cpio"?
