Propose: Kimchi allow to change boot order ("fd", "hd", "cdrom" or "network")

hd device can specify which disk will be booted

I think we can list bootorder among with other VM information provided by GET method and update it using PUT method

GET /vms/<name>
{ ...
   bootorder: [...]
}

PUT /vms/<name> {bootorder: [<new values>]

/plugins/kimchi/<VM NAME>/bootorder

{[{"dev": "hd"}]} or a list: {[{"dev": "hd"}, {"dev": "cdrom"}]}

Doubts:

How we can edit the bootloader? Like the list above or a kind of fixed list?

Libvirt provides bootmenu too, which allows users to pick a device in the beginning. Must have it?

It would be good to have bootmenu enabled too.
I think there is an issue for it too and it is assigned to you. So if you want to send a patch for it, I am fine! Just do not mix things. One patch set for boot order and other, to enable boot menu.
