I'm wondering what we should do if we need a further option
to turn on/off the PXE boot menus that SEABIOS now adds to
QEMU for each NIC. I guess that might be a separate
<bootmenu> element within the <interface> device so probably
wouldn't impact this modelling
Yeah, I think we eventually need some sort of <boot> element at the
device level anyways, to support booting off hdb instead of hda for
example. But yeah, I don't think it should affect this patch.
