I'm not sure, it might be possible to skip configure_hostname().
Probably harder though. It's not skipped if there's no network at
least.

                /* hostname has not been configured, and it looks like we
                 * may not have any network devices, so let's configure
                 * the hostname here. The network config can override this
                 * if the user chooses to do so. */
                next_action     = configure_hostname;
