It could do the same thing as mkinitrd does by default (approx):
        - check if SCSI drivers are needed (scsi_hostadapter lines in
          modules.conf), if so add them to initrd and make sure to
          preload scsi_mod and sd_mod.
	- check the current lvm configuration, and if any of the pv's are MD
	  devices, pre-load the appropriate raid[0145] module as well (can
	  determine via /proc/mdstat).

Alternatively, options for specifying modules would work too. :)
