[systemd-devel] /run needs to be mounted? ugh.

In my use of an initrd, I just use cryptsetup, which AFAIK, isn't a
storage daemon but rather reads the LUKS header, determines the key,
and calls the ioctl to get it mapped. In this case, all the 'state'
remains in the kernel, and thus doesn't require /run.
