I’ve posted a patch to make it work: http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2015q4/010007.html

It works perfectly for a single PXE service. It only uses the PXE menu system if multiple PXE services are specified as most firmware implementations don’t fully support it. Make sure to specify your PXE services for both BC_EFI and X86-64_EFI as UEFI firmwares can’t seem to agree which one is the correct one to use. As usual, specify the boot file name without the suffix (.efi).
