Syslinux - Jul 2015 - [PATCH] Updated udp.c to use real client ip and subnetmask values if on local subnet

>>>
 
 As noted in the reply to Matt Fleming's initial EFI networking
 implementation, I think some systems go stupid on UseDefaultAddress
 and AllowPromiscuous as true.? I just tested and saw no negative
 results from killing the codelines setting AllowPromiscuous in
 efi/udp.c on my machines.

This is good; BTW what was the rationale at the time for 
taking AllowPromiscuous=1 ??

That's the point of the aforementioned reply.  It seems unnecessary,
confusing and actually breaks some VM use.

Agreed; have you already patched this code in your repo?
files involved?
