Systemd crap aside, the minimal requirement for jessie is 2.6.something,
it has just been bumped to 3.2 for unstable. As far as I know, forcing a
lower kernel is currently a matter of recompiling libc.

I do own an arm laptop that has a sourceless 3.0 kernel so in theory I
should give it a try, but currently I'm out of damns to give for that
machine...
