While all this is looking good, we might be able to contain it more in
/arch. In principle, syslinux now has a 'cd' call to change the 'current
directory'. /syslinux could then only contain isolinux.cfg and a
syslinux.cfg file (and maybe a few .c32) that changes the directory to
/arch/boot/syslinux/ and loads syslinux.cfg from there.

On the syslinux command line, this is easy:
cd.c32 /arch/boot/syslinux
config.c32 syslinux.cfg
In a config file, I don't know if it'll work, but we'll see. Maybe we
need to script it in lua, as I know of no way to call two .c32 files in
a row.

This way (if I can figure out how it works), it would be possible to
dump /boot completely and only copy /arch when switching to a different
bootloader.
