You can use the very same solution.  Use the rw store to do it just
once, key by MAC, and add helpers to ifup interfaces marked as auto
assyncronously, updating the sync initscript to not do the job twice.

I think the only issue with network interfaces and disks is that you
must make sure to only try to process them, after the rest of the
userspace setup crap is done (such as renaming of network interfaces
by udev, addition of /dev nodes based on UUID and so on for disks,
etc).

We clearly will need help from maintainers of the other subsystems on
this, particularly from the udev maintainer to help us get all locking
and timing correct.   We can't play something like this by the ear.
