Based on your description, this is prior to RHEL 7. Please correct me if I'm wrong. At the points in system startup you're talking about, the root file system has already been switched to the "real" device that holds it. Putting something into your initrd would be a little superfluous since you would already have access to your real disk. To me, just typing "modprobe vmcp" when needed is far less of a hassle than doing just about anything else like setting up an init script. Or, if rc.local doesn't contain anything else, you could just execute _that_ manually. (Or if it doesn't have anything else you don't mind executing in runlevels S, 1, or 2.)
