When systemd talks to the console it uses only /dev/console, never
something like /dev/tty1. That means if the serial console works at all
it should work with systemd as well.

Note that I have developed most of systemd by running it in a kvm
machine with serial console on my terminal. That always worked fine
(though I must admit that the last weeks I have exclusively tested i on
real machines).
