I have updated btrfsprogs in factory which will provide the '/sbin/btrfs'
command from inside the initrd if the root filesystem is btrfs.

However that's only first part, the 'btrfs dev scan' command has to be called
at some point in time. The easy case is if the root filesystem is btrfs, this
is detected by mkinitrd when run, but if not and there are multidevice
partitions (like /home) the mount may fail. This would have to be detected at
the 'mkinitrd' time or, ADDITIONAL_FEATURES would have to be cpecified in
/etc/sysconfig/initrd file.

There may be more options how to let mkinitrd be btrfs-aware.
