The boot configuration parameters are stored as sets of <parameter name> and <value>
pairs. Thus they can be easily enhanced and there are no dependencies between different
versions of IPMC firmware and payload firmware. The IPMC provides a set of boot configuration
parameters and the payload firmware just initializes those it knows about.
