[PATCH] mkinitrd --without option



https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436248
mkinitrd --withavail==networking
This option pulls in all networking drivers, and loads the driver during initrd if a matching device exists. Unfortunately this sometimes can cause failures when multiple drivers support the same network card. For example, 8139too and 8139cp support an overlapping set of network cards. nash loadDrivers loads 8139too before 8139cp, while the latter is what the user needs.

Syntax Example:
--withavail==networking --without="8139too ipw2200"

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=296987
The patch here will successfully exclude any module whether it came from --with or --withavail. I know the former is weird, but it would be inconsistent not to. =)
