Can I suggest putting this inside the etherboot-encapsulated-options
option, in order to avoid further polluting the site-local dhcp option
space?  This is easy to do: in main.c, where it currently says

etherboot_encap_len = sprintf(ip.bp.bp_vend + sizeof rfc1533_cookie + sizeof dhcprequest + 2,
			      "%c%c%s", RFC1533_VENDOR_NIC_DEV_ID, strlen(nic.devid), nic.devid);

just add further options inside the sprintf statement.
