Arch Linux News: mkinitcpio hook migration and early microcode

> With the release of mkinitcpio v38, several hooks previously provided by Arch packages have been moved to the mkinitcpio upstream project. The hooks are: systemd, udev, encrypt, sd-encrypt, lvm2 and mdadm_udev. > > To ensure no breakage of users' setup occurs, temporary conflicts have been introduced into the respective packages to prevent installing packages that are no longer compatible. > > The following packages needs to be upgraded together: > > - mkinitcpio 38-3 > - systemd 255.4-2 > - lvm2 2.03.23-3 > - mdadm 4.3-2 > - cryptsetup 2.7.0-3 > > Please note that the mkinitcpio flag --microcode, and the microcode option in the preset files, has been deprecated in favour of a new microcode hook. This also allows you to drop the microcode initrd lines from your boot configuration as they are now packed together with the main initramfs image.
