I think that Mellanox wants us to enable full IPoIB PXE support. For
that to happen I plan to:

- Enumerate the needs for it to happen (enable proper modules, preseed support, etc)
- Show test results using HW they provided us
- Propose fixes

I'll be working on this for the next few days using an IB lab.

Thank you
