I can look at doing this. I can add kernel-modules-extra. I don't know if 
I need to worry about PAE, but I don't think we use PAE for live 
images.

I have figured out which file should get tweaked to load the module. I 
looked into it a while back and was looking at doing a package to add it. 
That didn't happen, but I can do that in post.
