According to Wiki you can test it and switch to it if you think it's
working - then remove mkinitcpio. So if one want to make sure dracut is
working how does {s}he test it?
You cannot compare the initfsram files created as dracut contains the
microcode image also.
Furthermore neither the wiki [1] not the man page [2] is a mention on
the HOOKS [3] that mkinitcpio uses. Is there something similar for
dracut or it's not required For example: will it automatically execute
`btrfs device scan` as the `btrfs` HOOK would do in mkinitcpio?
