[syslinux] patch: SDI Xpe images support for pxelinux

[Rémi Lefèvre]

No particular reason except the fact that I only tested SDI loading
with pxelinux.
I made a generic patch for syslinux/pxelinux/isolinux. I think it
should work because SDI support is built on top of getfssec and
load_high, but there is no warrant at the moment.
I removed unused parts and display less information messages in
syslinux to reduce the program size.

New generic patch:

Patched version of pxelinux.0:
http://remile.free.fr/syslinux/pxelinux.0

Patched version of isolinux.bin (not tested):
http://remile.free.fr/syslinux/isolinux.bin

Patched version of ldlinux.bin (not tested):
http://remile.free.fr/syslinux/ldlinux.bin

Quickly updated documentation (included in the patch):
