It can optionally use systemd (although the default is to use a traditional
busybox script), and it sounds like Kai *has* configured it that way,
otherwise sd-encrypt wouldn't have had any effect whatsoever.

"sd-encrypt" is the mkinitcpio module (hook) which adds the standard
systemd-cryptsetup(-generator) & systemd-ask-password binaries.

systemd-gpt-auto-generator should work, as it gets added together with the
rest in the main "systemd" hook.
