Subject: Use spec compliant timeouts

Message-id: <20150428212403.31299.29391.stgit@gimli.home>
Patchwork-id: 64951
O-Subject: [RHEL7.2 ipxe PATCH 2/2] [dhcp][RHEL-only] Use spec compliant timeouts
Bugzilla: 1196352

Use local config to override iPXE's abbreviated DHCP timeouts using
the recommended values for spec compliance.  This matches the state
of RHEL6 gPXE DHCP timeouts after bz968474 + bz1206042
