This part is good and fine, thanks.  Can you please do a follow-up to
convert CONFIG_SPL_NET_VCI_STRING as well?

This part however is is from the RFC (and ARM isn't in it, so 0x100 is
special magic).  See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4578 section 2.1.  I
suppose reading that now, the right value to use here for your use case
actually makes what we're doing now a little harder as "Intel x86PC" is
0x0, and "EFI IA32" is 0x6.  Or we could, if I'm reading the RFC right,
just drop this part of the code entirely.
