Yeah, i went and looked at my config(just posted as well) and I just
passed it as an argument in the "gk_args" section.  That required the
minimum amount of effort on my part ;-) and trying to get patches
applied to genkernel required a bit of persistence to get applied.

As for the embedded build type that's in catalyst/modules/embedded.py

*reads some more*

OK it's all coming back to me now. I added to my ebuild the linuxrc
that I wanted, and had it installed in a well known location in /tmp
during the emerge process of the catalyst stage.

Then at the end, when the genkernel bit was run, i added the
--linuxrc argument with the well known location(in the build chroot)
of the linuxrc.
