+Subject: [PATCH] xpp: prevent dracut from loading Astribank drivers
+
+Prevent an early load of the Astribank (xpp) drivers at initrd time, as
+they require some files from the root filesystem.
+
+This installs a file in the dracut configuration directory that will
+take effect the next time dracut generates an initrd image.
+
+This installs an configuration file for dracut which is ignored if
+dracut is not installed and is a no-op if xpp_usb is not loaded on your
+system.
+
+Signed-off-by: Tzafrir Cohen <tzafrir.cohen@xorcom.com>
