When I use the PV NIC driver on the Windows DHCP server, the network monitor 
doesn't list any network devices.  I don't haven't tried using anything else to 
capture frames from the Windows domU, so I can't say for sure that the server 
isn't getting the DHCP requests, but after swapping the server's NIC driver out 
for the PV version, even bare-metal clients fail to PXE boot.
