The local variable _mpargs in function instmods() in file dracut-functions
looks peculiar. The documentation is non-existent, but still ...
First, $_mpargs is not passed to modprobe via for_each_kmod_dep.
This is strange because my guess is that "_mpargs" means
"extra arguments for modprobe".
Second, the leading "--" will be lopped when a leading pathname
is stripped via
_mod=${_mod##*/}
It seems to me that a leading "--" should inhibit modification.
Here's the corresponding patch to current HEAD (from dracut-013.)
