Hello again,

* TFTP and DHCP started using:
dnsmasq --port=0 \
          --no-daemon \
          --enable-tftp \
          --tftp-root=/run/archiso/bootmnt \
          --dhcp-range=192.168.0.2,192.168.0.254,86400 \
          --dhcp-boot=/arch/boot/syslinux/gpxelinux.0 \
          --dhcp-option-force=209,boot/syslinux/archiso.cfg \
          --dhcp-option-force=210,/arch

* and for DHCP+HTTP started with:

dnsmasq --port=0 \
          --no-daemon \
          --dhcp-range=192.168.0.2,192.168.0.254,86400 \
          --dhcp-boot=http://192.168.0.218/arch/boot/syslinux/gpxelinux.0 \
          --dhcp-option-force=209,boot/syslinux/archiso.cfg \
          --dhcp-option-force=210,http://192.168.0.218/arch/


* Things described here, works fine with 4.06:
(As you can see there are no errors at all)
