[systemd-devel] Delaying device service creation

[Mantas Mikulėnas]

Options:

- Configure it as part of ExecStart if possible.

- Configure it using a second .service unit (oneshot), and depend on that
one.

- Do something with udev to mark unconfigured devices with SYSTEMD_READY=0?
Not sure how. But if you can do this, it'll directly affect the "readiness"
of the corresponding .device unit.
