Look into testing and adding hybrid support from upstream: github.com/ipxe/ipxe@79c0173d6d

Yeah, I have some hybrid images up here already: https://boot.netboot.xyz/

I have not added them to the main downloads page on the site but will with a little more testing.

I was going to but I left it off to keep it from inflating the size of the file too much. Arm isn't being heavily used in the project yet so I'll probably leave it separate for now.
