Yeah, that patch is for wimboot, not for iPXE.  Sorry about that.  Thanks
for pointing that out, Brandon.

Also: I neglected to include:

Sorry about that, too.

For the case where wimboot is given a CPIO archive that has not been
prepared by iPXE, there could be the magic "TRAILER!!!" file at the end
of the archive.  We should stop processing CPIO files if we reach this.
