Thanks, applied to next.

I couldn't observe your original "sys-subsystem-net-devices-multi-user.device
timeouts" problem. Is it reproducible with stock Isar? Which architecture?

Also, at least for amd64, the machine id is only generated temporarily. The
file is not replaced since /etc is read-only at that moment. So we have to
revisit Claudius's rw patch. This works for arm since it is already rw.

With kind regards,
Baurzhan.
