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>]

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.
