Under your definition, would embedded programming fall under systems programming or do you see them as distinct areas?

I think embedded is a distinct subset of systems programming. It definitely deals with hardware resource management, but is a bit different because it tends not to build the high-level resource management abstractions on top of the hardware for other application code to use e.g. what a database kernel is to a database.
