+* for better compat with major clouds: introduce imds mini client service that
+  sets up primary netif in a private netns (ipvlan?) to query imds without
+  affecting rest of the host. pick up literal credentials from there plus the
+  fields the hwdb reports for the other fields and turn them into credentials.
+  then write generator that used detected virtualization info and plugs this
+  service into the early boot, waiting for the DMI and network device to show
+  up.

 * Add UKI profiles that are only available if secure boot is turned off
 
 * fix bug around run0 background color on ls in fresh terminal
