To amswer my own question: Yes. (But I still have no idea
what the official script is :-).

I simply updated the initramfs "by hand" by expanding the
compressed cpio archive, copying in the additional
modprobe file and recompressing it.

I now have no kslowdnnn kernel processes running all the
time and accumulating vast cpu, and my mouse is moving
smooth again.
