Eh? How exactly is this related to systemd?

Yeah, Treacherous Computing kernels are a new (for Linux) peril that needs
to be avoided at all costs, but there's no connection to the other peril.

Such kernels disable a lot of functionality you could do as root before,
block loading of non-Tivoized modules, kexec and so on but they don't stop
you from running a modular init inside that padded jail. Until systemd gets
some DRM components, that is.
