[Xen-devel] [PATCH OSSTEST v3 03/22] Introduce mg-pxe-loader-update

[Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The story for PXE booting via UEFI (at least on arm64) is not so
straightforward as with pxelinux on x86. There seems to no good
bootloader to launch via UEFI+pxe, in fact all I could find was grub
(syslinux, and by extension pxelinux.efi, is x86 only).

Add mg-pxe-loader-update modelled on mg-debian-installer-update which
will download the necessary grub binaries and produce a grub image
which can be used to pxe boot.

grub lacks the convenient ability to search for config file based on
(substrings of) the MAC or IP address. So we arrange for the grub.cfg
in TftpGrubBase to chain load another config file from
TftpTmpDir/'$net_default_mac' where $net_default_mac is a grub
variable which is substituted at boot time.

Actually using this requires that bootp/dhcp provide a next-file so
UEFI knows what to boot (usually this would be pxelinux.0 which we
can't use here). Locally we have configured this as $name/pxe.img, so
we can use different loaders.
