This is part of the data that is serialized during the transition from
the systemd instance in the initrd to the systemd instance on the
host. The serialization is internal to systemd, and this is unlikely
to change, as it contains numerous bits of information that are
fragile and sensitive as the serialization really contains the full
service manager state with all its units and so on.

It's not, and quite frankly I am not enthusiastic about the idea to
make this configurable...
