I'm afraid it isn't such simple... DHCP server for HVM is provided by device
model stubdomain and it is very simple, featureless and not configurable.
Especially it doesn't have any way to provide TFTP server address and boot path.
But if you can set those parameters manually from iPXE cmdline it should work.
IP address and gateway still can be obtained via DHCP.
