We need to think about sets of machines, as identified by tags or whatever,
rather than individual nodes. The templates that generate the PXE
configurations are already arranged for that kind of thing, but it has
proven to be complicated in practice. We should be as smart as we can and
do everything we can before giving users a free-form field in which to
enter extra bits of the command line.
