Which is what we do already, right? Or do we actually end up with two
separate ROMs, one for rtl8139 and one for e1000?

Hm, anyway, presumably internally gpxe has a list of vendor_id:device_id
pairs for each NIC type that it supports? Shouldn't we just patch it so that
the entire list gets exposed in the option ROM headers? That seems the
simple straightforward fix, or is it more complex than that?
