Code review comment for lp:~dpigott/lava-dispatcher/add-bootloader-support

Ok. So what you're saying is that to support this, we need to accept a selection in the JSON file, and then use the read-hwpack option to determine if it's valid. If nothing is specified we use the first in the list for the matching device type.

That's probably enough to push it into backlog, to be honest. If my change is unsupportable, then let's just throw it away,
