ipxe nowadays ships EFI binaries but still only produces GRUB menu entries for
the BIOS binary (lkrn).
It might be a good idea to borrow some ideas from the memtest86+ GRUB scripts
to produce distinct menu entries.

Hi,
This bug has been addressed in the latest ipxe. We now split files for
booting the current host into ipxe into grub-ipxe (following the naming
of ubuntu), which is an architecture-dependent package, providing ipxe
boot files for the installing architecture in /boot. On i386, we only
provide ipxe.lkrn; on amd64, we provide both ipxe.lkrn and ipxe.efi; on
arm64, we only provide ipxe.efi. The generated grub menu entry now boots
directly into the corresponding boot file, while on amd64, the entry
detects if EFI is available in the runtime, and uses the correct boot
image.
Cheers,
Miao Wang
