blade nodes with the same serial (but different uuid) overwrite each others files #206

We have a chassis with four servers in it.

The hw file gets its name based on this format:

--{dmi_serial_num|mac_address} If dmi_serial_num is set, mac_address is not used. But since all four servers report the same serial, the .hw file gets overwritten. Should the serial actually be used for this filename?

I had the case in past with some stupid boards. I've been implementing that workaround: https://github.com/enovance/hardware/blob/master/hardware/detect.py#L453

Maybe, you can just add your serial in this quirk list and make a PR for it.
