This is now done.  The new default IQN is

  iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe:<hostname> if you have a hostname assigned, or

  iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe:<uuid> if you do not have a hostname assigned.

I chose the UUID rather than the MAC address because it avoids the thorny 
issue of trying to decide on the appropriate NIC in a multi-NIC configuration.  
I've updated http://ipxe.org/2c0d603b with a brief note describing this 
change.
