Hi Greg,
I've a raspberry pi and I've just upgraded the raspbian to Jessie. And as
expected it loaded all the systemd crap just like a Debian Jessie. What you
can of course do is that remove the systemd and revert to sysvinit. For
the serial port, Raspberry has GPIO ports which you can configure as a
serial port. In the link below you can find a very detailed explanation. I
hope it helps in your project.

However, I must say that it's not as easy as passing a parameter to the
kernel.
