We didn't do that in the past, because of size problems and because the
pxe-* versions are only used by old machine types.

Lets have a look:

 pc-bios/pxe-e1000.rom    | Bin 67072 -> 62976 bytes
 pc-bios/pxe-eepro100.rom | Bin 61440 -> 62976 bytes
 pc-bios/pxe-ne2k_pci.rom | Bin 61440 -> 62464 bytes
 pc-bios/pxe-pcnet.rom    | Bin 61440 -> 62464 bytes
 pc-bios/pxe-rtl8139.rom  | Bin 61440 -> 63488 bytes
 pc-bios/pxe-virtio.rom   | Bin 60416 -> 61952 bytes

So, the update doesn't work for e1000, where the size goes from > 64k to
< 64k, which in turn changes the pci rom bar size from 128k to 64k ...
