I'm as of now writing hooks for dracut to be able to install the kernel, as
mkinitcpio does, and I'm considering have a preset config, like mkinicpio,
so it gives the user the ability to decide how dracut is ran.

Other than that, given that dracut is slightly different than mkinitcpio, I
don't think these hooks should be overworked. On the other hand, the kernel
installation will be somewhat inflexible if done only to /boot.

I think initially it'll be like that, but then we can use dracut's configuration
for this.
