My hope is to eventually produce an image for mips64el again, which
would need an ext2 formatted /boot partition. I'm hoping to make it not
too hard to hack that in in the future :)

Perhaps it makes sense to name them according to the architecture more?
we have arm32-raw and aarch64-raw, how about i686-raw and x86_64-raw?
Make it clear exactly what architecures they target. Then we can
continue with the hybrid bios/efi images anyway.
