manually wrap wimboot cpio

RE: manually wrap wimboot cpio
In legacy mode the way wimboot loads filename and file data is via cpio headers in in memory (there is no specification for how to transfer file information in legacy pcbios mode)

However in efi mode, the EFIFS (which is specified in the EFI spec) is used instead and not cpio.
you will not be able to use the "cpio hack" when booting in efi mode.

The reason cpio works with wimboot in legacy is just a side effect of the implementation rather then a intended feature.
