[arch-general] [arch-dev-public] Mkinitcpio replacement with Dracut

Early Microcode and initrd.

I notice that the AMD microcode is [1] in the initrd while the intel
microcode is not.

Booting with option:
initrd=/boot/intel-ucode.img
to get the microcode installed early works fine with dracut as it always
has.

Is this something that will remain the same as now or does this
potentially change under dracut?

thanks
