Adding only "btrfs" will fail; I've had to add [ "btrfs" "zlib_deflate"
"libcrc32c" "crc32c" ] to the boot.initrd for btrfs to load fine.

I've root on btrfs, so I can't wait for stage2. I also run btrfs device scan in
the initrd. (postDeviceCommands), after having copied it to the initrd
(extraUtilsCommands). The same for its fsck.

I don't use hardware-configuration.nix, but every option defines how to be
merged once there are multiple definitions in different nixos modules. With some
defaults: lists concatenate, etc etc.
