Details:

There are a few ip addresses, not automatically set to variables, that may be
needed in a grub config (such as netmask and default router).  These may be
retrieved with net_get_dhcp_option, but only as the decimal or hex
representation of the 32-bit value.  I have included a patch that adds a new
format specification 'ip' to net_get_dhcp_option, allowing values to be
displayed/saved as ip strings.
