not really... the provisioning stuff does not seem to work for the
'ip=dhcp' case.

I know that this case is not handled well with this patch either (it
misses renewal of dhcp leases, setup of dns + ntp).  But it is still
better than actual behavior.

On first glance, the do-not-cleanup patch in connman seems to cover
system startup only.  I might miss something, but afais, interface will
be still shut down in the middle of reboot which is bad because '/' is
needed nearly to the end of shutdown.
