In my opinion, this bug should be upgraded from wishlist and retitled.
There is a real need to scan for btrfs filesystems later than at the
initramfs stage, because of devices that don't exist yet at that
point. That includes not only actual hotplugging of the hardware, but
also late-open cryptsetup and lvm devices, and other things that come
up late like network block devices or complex HW-RAID setups. As a
specific example, two-disk btrfs over dm-crypt fails mount -a even
with initramfs, because the dm-crypt devices don't exist during the
first and only scan.
Initrd-less boot should be supported as a side effect if you have udev
trigger btrfs device scan.
