OK. I'll add it.

Something likes meta/lib/oeqa/runtime/cases/systemd.py? I think it is 
better to do in next milestone and create a defect to address it.
If it is ok, I'll create one.

  I am afraid only one value could be set for POKY_INIT_MANAGER. And I 
believe that most packages have been supporting systemd. If there is,
we can add a systemd service file for it.

BTW, POKY_INIT_MANAGER doesn't consider the case of mdev/busybox. If 
want to use mdev/busybox for init, just set DISTRO with poky-tiny and
everything have been set properly in poky-tiny.conf.
