I agree that the available documentation is horrible. However,
I think you should mention here that <device> should be specified with
the UUID prefix, e.g.

 rd.luks.key=/mykeyfile:UUID=xxxxxxxx

As far as I remember last time I looked into dracut and udev sources,
a keyfile found here is probed against all available devices, so you
should be able to unlock several encrypted partitions with just one
keyfile, just as it works with a conventional passphrase.
