Thanks for commiting it so fast! I've been testing the two configurations 
all night, and funnily enough the gpt+mbr setup works better than the mbr 
setup alone on my home machine: If I don't specify --mactel, I can boot in 
QEMU fine but my machine (GA-965P-S3 mobo) refuses to boot it, saying that 
it can't find the kernel image for "linux".

There's also a small bug that I forgot to account for in the last patch - 
$BOOTCONFIG is overwritten if --mactel is set, so the syslinux.cfg file is 
left in an inconsistent state with root=CDLABEL=<...> and 
rootfstype=iso9660. The attached patch fixes this problem by using 
$BOOTCONFIG and $BOOTCONFIG_EFI.
