This is the preffered way nowadays. One day, hopefully,
CONFIG_IP_PNP can go away.

It could be done reasonably easy, you know... :-/

If CONFIG_IP_PNP is going to go away, what is the proposed mechanism for netboot devices to determine the proper source address to use when searching for a rootfs to use?

My quip was mostly that it could replaced with the existing klibc implementation, which runs in userspace.

The other option, of course, is the distribution-specific initramfs route.
