Thanks for the help here.

Actually, adding files via config-drive is exactly what I want but I can't
see how to do that other than via the default 'user-data'. Cisco CSR1000v
looks for a file called "ios-config" on the config-drive for example.

Without this api i don't see how to add these files?
