On this, I think the correct answer would be for the IPXE protocols, check
and uninstall if already there prior to installing new instance of the
protocol. No new device handle needed, just replace the relevant protocols
and leave any ohter protocols alone, therefore no risk of too much
recursion (yes, snponly.efi would rip out bits of ipxe when chained from an
already ipxe capable device, but that would be expected behavior as
presumably the chainloaded instance is customized and/or better tested for
that environment compared to flashed instance...)
