Here is a patch to do this, though it sounds like you might have other
solutions.
This patch is for 2.6.18.1--thanks to Ed Falk for updating my original
2.6.11 patch. If people are interested I can update and test this on
the current kernel. It was tested on 2.6.11.
Yes, I'd be interested in a patch against a 2.6.19. It is way simpler to
do it this way than to do it with initramfs (although not as flexible).
I will look do it, but I will be out next week so it may take a while.

I tried your patch against 2.6.19, with some minor changes (as it
wouldn't apply), but it didn't work for me (perhaps I just screwed
something).
