Yeah, we're working around that with xCAT's statelite which lets me
mark files and directories as persistent.  All I've done it so far for
are the /etc/sysconfig/mic directory and the /opt/intel/mic/filesystem
files that contain the network config for the MICs.

I've not booted any of these yet, so I'm a long way from knowing what
else needs to be changed to fit this model!
