ipxe configuration service

Each Hypervisor can have a "version" set that is the desired version of Mistify OS to boot. A default version is also set in etcd.
DHCPD sets the "next-file" url for ipxe boots to a url which include the base IP of the hypervisor. The ipxe configuration service uses the IP to lookup the hypervisor and constructs a simple ipxe script that includes links to the appropriate versions of the kernel and initrd.
Currently, this service also serves the actual bits for the kernel and initrd. Also, currently, an operator must copy the files to servers running the service.
