As we saw with the addition of fsp in 5.4 adding protocols to Etherboot 
is trivial for anyone who has an understanding of the protocol and is 
willing to take the time.

This particular protocol does not seem to be on top of UDP so it might 
take a little more work to figure out how to integrate it.  I imagine 
that the changes in 5.5 make it simpler to implemnt than on 5.4 but I 
could be wrong.
