It would be good to have arbitrary user info in option 77 as per RFC
3004. This can encode multiple data which might select the image type,
ip address pool, or whatever indexed by nic type, processor type, amount
of memory or just site specific classification. I may get a rush of
blood to the head and submit something fairly soon.

And, at some point when I have breathing space, I want to propose a
reform of existing Etherboot specific DHCP options.
