I put a PKGBUILD up on AUR[0]. Rather than making it part of the kernel package, I made it separate (at Thomas' request). At least this should make it easy to test without having to rebuild kernels. At the moment it simply includes all the hooks I could think of. If, in the future, we would like to add more features to it (e.g. pacman, arch-install-scripts or better networking tools), we should add mkinitcpio hooks to the relevant pacakges. Any thoughts?
