      Description of problem:
      https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/issues/157
      iPXE floods the physical switch with LACP frames, fails to configure network interface.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      from RHOSP16.2.2
      $ sudo podman exec -ti ironic_pxe_tftp rpm -q ipxe-bootimgs
      ipxe-bootimgs-20181214-8.git133f4c47.el8.noarch

      How reproducible:
      I need

      • a Dell PowerEdge R830, configured for PXE and UEFI boot
      • Mellanox ConnectX-3 cards
      • connected to 2 switches with active LACP bonding

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. openstack baremetal introspection start <node>
      2.
      3.

      Actual results:
      ipxe.efi is properly downloaded, but then the interface fails to configure.
      The interface on the switch goes to errdisabled because lacp-rate-limit
      tcpdump on the switch reveals the same trace as in the github ticket: switch being flooded with LACP frames.

      Expected results:
      should work

      Additional info:
      it works replacing the ipxe.efi from ipxe-bootimgs-20181214-8.git133f4c47.el8.noarch with one I built myself that includes more recent sources + a patch to disable NET_PROTO_LACP
