[Merge] lp:~jamesodhunt/ubuntu/vivid/ubuntu-core-config/bug-1418966 into lp:ubuntu/ubuntu-core-config

[James Hunt]

We prolly need pitti/lool to comment on the approach here.

Note that the approach is wider than just this bug, it's more about whether snappy as a whole should minimise the amount of work done in the initramfs. Currently, we favour minimising the complexity of the initramfs to minimise the risk of system failure. The cost of doing this is that we end up with awkward issues such as this.

A compromise may be to mount "writable" r/o in the initramfs, set the hostname, then unmount to have systemd perform the fsck+mount r/w later.
