There's no infrastructure for that in systemd right now. It's also not
easy to implement generically, as such counters would have to be
accessible early in boot (which means not in /var), but also writable
(which makes /etc uncool).

So I figure this is something you'd have to add you own local
infrastructure for currently, sorry.
