[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.

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

If I remember correctly, this was required for TFTP boot because
otherwise it's impossible to accept DHCP packets when we have no IP
address
