So, here's the strange part.  The Xen HVM domUs clearly use gPXE, now.  
However, if I look at the pxe-rtl8139.bin file, it's still Etherboot:

rtl8139.zrom 5.4.2 (GPL) etherboot.org

Furthermore, after attempting to replace this file, the domUs don't boot, 
anymore - they hang at boot time.  I think this may be because the new boot 
ROM, generated by gPXE (rom-o-matic.net) is larger than 32K - all of the other 
ones appear to be 32K.  So, the ROM file says Etherboot, if I replace it, it 
causes a failed boot, but Xen says gPXE??
