[Bug 1427999] [NEW] cloud images don't boot with systemd

[Martin Pitt]

Public bug reported:

Apparently yesterday the cloud images at http://cloud-
images.ubuntu.com/vivid/ were switched to boot with systemd, with
init=/lib/systemd/systemd . 20150303/ still worked (with upstart),
20150304/ hangs:

and there it hangs. When trying to boot, it tries to talk to
169.254.169.254 which times out.

The initctl emit failure looks related, this obviously won't work under
systemd. This probably needs to be replaced with some "systemctl start
..." equivalent? Note that you can test for systemd with [ -d
/run/systemd/system ], that's the canonical test.
