Right, but if you want us to switch from "we just mirror
upstream ipxe" to "we have our own ipxe" then it's probably
better to start with that, rather than by submitting a pullreq
that can't be applied until we switch our ipxe workflow.

Do we really need this for 2.4, or can we wait and sort
this out afterwards? It feels a bit late in the release
cycle to start doing this kind of thing to me.
