This has now been implemented. It should provide everything you need through [this bootstrap artifact](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender/blob/master/meta-mender-core/classes/mender-bootstrap-artifact.bbclass#L73-L81), which gets installed the first time Mender is launched in a fresh image. Use the `MENDER_ARTIFACT_PROVIDES` variable to supply information.
