I don't know right now how host_cmdline got in my config(that was a
crazy day between dracut, systemd, and lvm documentations), who knows
where I saw it or if I mistyped it, anyway thanks for the correction.

I agree, that notification in the ebulid would have saved trouble, and
I think it should be included since for sure many will run into these
problems in future.
So, would this qualify for a gentoo bug, and make the developer
include that notification?

Again, thanks for clarifying more the working of dracut.
