I'm not sure what these paths look like, but isn't it possible to create
a new scope named iPXE, and then native drivers will go right below
that, and for any SNP devices, you could have a pseudo-path element
named SNP or WRAPPER or something similar, and then just copy the
existing device path of the original SNP device inside there? I'm
thinking about this as a simple tree, do not know if that is appropriate
or not. I don't really have a lot of experience with EFI.
