Outdated ipxe patch instructions

The following instructions from the readme no longer work :

git clone git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git
sed -i "s/MAX_MODULES 8/MAX_MODULES 100/g" ipxe/src/arch/i386/image/multiboot.c
echo "#define IMAGE_COMBOOT" >> ipxe/src/config/local/general.h
cd ipxe/src
make bin/undionly.kpxe
cp bin/undionly.kpxe /var/lib/tftpboot

ipxe/src/arch/i386/image/multiboot.c has been moved to ipxe/src/arch/x86/image/multiboot.c in the master branch

KERNEL undionly.kpxe does not work any longer

Newer versions of PXELinux barf with "Invalid or corrupt kernel image" here:
https://github.com/LiamLeane/Foreman-ESXi/blob/master/PXELinux.erb#L12

As indicated here, you need to switch to PXE or build the actual ipxe kernel image.
I had no success with using PXE undionly.kpxe as the APPEND was ignored resulting in a loop.
http://forum.ipxe.org/archive/index.php/thread-7951.html

I suggest changing the instructions to build the bin/ipxe.lkrn and updating the template:

git clone git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git
sed -i "s/MAX_MODULES 8/MAX_MODULES 100/g" ipxe/src/arch/x86/image/multiboot.c
echo "#define IMAGE_COMBOOT" >> ipxe/src/config/local/general.h
cd ipxe/src
make bin/ipxe.lkrn
cp bin/ipxe.lkrn /var/lib/tftpboot

DEFAULT linux
LABEL linux
KERNEL ipxe.lkrn
APPEND dhcp && chain <%= foreman_url('iPXE') %>
IPAPPEND 2

These changes got us working with ESXi 6.0 update 1
