I actually did this on purpose - or rather I left it out of the help
message on purpose. The option is really only meant to be used by
dracut/systemd, it doesn't make much sense for normal users/admins to
play with it directly.
If you think it makes sense, I can add documentation for it.
Right now I believe dracut isn't ready to call mdadm with --initrd,
however systemd in rawhide is aware of the '@' hack. I am not sure of
the specific version, but we should document the final minimum versions
once it's all sorted so all distros know which versions to pick.
Cheers,
Jes
