Description:
A fresh install is unable to boot from intel nvme due to missing module "vmd".

The nvme device doesn't show up during initrd due to this. The missing root device causes boot failure.

mkinitcpio should include vmd in block hook by default.

Workaround:
Add vmd to mkinitcpio.conf MODULES array.

Additional info:
* mkinitcpio 29-1
* HOOKS=(base systemd keyboard autodetect modconf block sd-encrypt sd-lvm2 filesystems fsck)
* dracut included the module in: https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/commit/d23f32dd4b927f4ac6c6a67c2ff17d5c82a132c9#diff-ce156d6151c76992972bd142959fed0fb9e1bd6db64927811d403a525a13e80d

Me as well, on a Dell Inspiron 5406. Seems like a number of newer laptops use Intel VMD.
