you need an own initramfs hook that has the necessary
'manual_add_modules' calls, see hooks/live for an example.
second, you need to place that hook into
config/chroot_local-includes/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/my-acer-hook
third, you need to make sure that the hook is processed, therefore
symlink /usr/share/live-helper/examples/hooks/update-initramfs.sh into
config/chroot_local-hooks.
bonus points: create a package that contains the hook and rebuilds
initrd in postinst, and put that packge into
config/chroot_local-packages or put it into a repository and add that
repository to config/chroot_local-sources (prefered method).

which one these are? if it's a common requirement, we may just add the
module through live-initramfs itself.
