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.
I'm no initrd expert but I think you did it the hard way. From what I
know about the process all you have to do is rebuild the initrd. More
specifically, let dracut rebuilt it. It's supposed to take into
account whatever you have in /etc/modprobe.d/
