[Bug 1306246] [NEW] dhcp request doesn't provide client architecture code 93

[Blake Rouse]

Public bug reported:

Using qemu-system-ppc64 for netbooting fails to provide the dhcp option
93 (client architecture). This is used to to tell the netbooting machine
the correct filename to request for the boot loader.

Command:
qemu-system-ppc64 -enable-kvm -M pseries -cpu host -smp cores=1,threads=1 -m 4G -net nic,macaddr=DE:AD:BE:EF:01:02 -net tap,script=no,downscript=no,ifname=tap0102 -device spapr-vscsi -drive file=/tmp/grub-start.6jPp7l/disk1.img -boot order=nc -nographic -vga none
