Both (sic) of these patches now have upstream implementations:

   http://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/commitdiff/88a5f56
   http://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/commitdiff/a15c0d7

Unless I'm missing something, there are only two patches involved here.

I've also upstreamed a named configuration for qemu which incorporates 
your existing config changes (based on roms/config.ipxe.general.h) and 
adds the option to disable the EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL installation:

   http://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/commitdiff/a200ad4

To build with this named configuration, just add "CONFIG=qemu" to the 
make command line when building iPXE.
