How to preload a particular module(s) automatically in the initrd created when new kernels are installed via yum?

For example
scsi_dh_rdacwill not be added automatically toinitrdimage due to the bug LTC:201049: mkinitrd support for DM-MP SCSI Hardware Handlers. Currently, the solution is to manually runmkinitrd with --preloadoption :
mkinitrd -f -v /boot/initrd-custom.img 2.6.18-164.el5 --preload=scsi_dh_rdac
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
- mkinitrd
