I'm not entirely sure I need the uresume hook. I'm attempting to move
to systemd as much as possible. I may have made an incorrect
assumption in trying it. I'll have to do some more research on it.
s2ram works, I just failed to see why the machine failed to boot (on a
full reboot not coming out of suspension) with uresume compiled into
the image when I do not have any encrypted volumes configured. It
seems (to me) if there are no encrypted volumes, libgcrypt should be
located, no encrypted volumes found, then continue to boot.  It's not
so much if I need it or not, but why the boot failed?

As usual my brain doesn't always track with others. Back to reading
the code and sorting it out.
