[syslinux] [RFC, PATCH] core/pxe: Add architecture-specific discovery request for PXE config file

This approach is what I'd prefer to do (modifying DHCP lease parameters
in response to the DHCP client architecture field) because it's much
cleaner. However, is this the only accepted approach? Do we want to
support folks who don't want to modify the DHCP server config?

The reason I ask is that some provisioning tools, eg MaaS, don't assume
control of the DHCP server.

Cheers,


Jeremy
