Created an attachment (id=387217)
 --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=387217)
Patch to add non-contiguous hardware/ip address grouping.

This patch adds a means of creating "groups" of systems within, but not limited
to, PXE/netboot based images. This initial patch is a submission is a request
for review, I am willing to support/modify if additional changes are
needed/requested.

Some additional notes. To create a group a new file called "KIWI/config.group"
needs to be used on the boot server, it can contain the following content:

KIWI_GROUP="test1, test2, test3"

test1_KIWI_MAC_LIST="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, etc"

test2_KIWI_MAC_LIST="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, etc"

test3_KIWI_MAC_LIST="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, etc"

test1, test2 and test3 are simply group names, and can be anything within the
following range of characters "a-zA-Z0-9_".

The xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx represent the MAC address of the system being "grouped".

In addition, a "group config" file for the the group itself needs to be
created, based on the group name(s) listed in KIWI_GROUP, such that the above
example would have the following files:

KIWI/config.test1
KIWI/config.test2
KIWI/config.test3

The contents of these files are exactly the same as would be applied to a
config.<MAC> file. The only difference is that any machine listed in the
appropriate "xxx_KIWI_MAC_LIST" will use the configuration file vs having one
configuration file for each machine.
