--- Comment #4 from Lennart Poettering <lennart at poettering.net> ---
Well, cgroups-less kernels are explicitly not supported by systemd. However we
added some hacks to allow it to boot to a certain degree even if a lot of
things will not work correctly afterwards. In this mode when you boot you will
actually get a warning on screen and bootup is delayed by 10s to make sure the
user understands this. 

Now, this mode recently broke, and it will segfault early on. I am happy to
take a patch to 'fix' this again, but I will not work on this as i dont run
kernels like this, and as mentioned its not really supported anyway...

Another option is to simply be honest amd stop supporting in entirely, and
refuse booting completely. And I figure this is what I will eventually do if
nobody cares enough to send me a patch to fix that segfault.
