Calling the parent PXE stack (the stack that loaded us, for
undionly.kkpxe) can be useful for more than UNDI calls; for instance,
it lets us get cached DHCP packets to avoid re-DHCP when working with
embedded images.

These commands can be used to activate or deactivate the PXE API (on a
specifiable network interface).
This is currently of limited use, since most image formats will call
shutdown() before booting the image, meaning that the underlying net
device gets shut down during remove_devices() anyway.
The build mechanism currently allows for multiple objects per source
file. The only remaining user of this is unnrv2b.S. Replace this
usage with a separate unnrv2b16.S wrapper file, as is currently used
for e.g. pxeprefix.S and kpxeprefix.S.
QEMU will silently round down a disk or ROM image file to the nearest
512 bytes. Fix by always padding .rom, .dsk and .hd images to the
nearest 512-byte boundary.

Currently the only supported platform for x86_64 is EFI.
Building an EFI64 gPXE requires a version of gcc that supports
__attribute__((ms_abi)). This currently means a development build of
gcc; the feature should be present when gcc 4.4 is released.
In the meantime; you can grab a suitable gcc tree from
git://git.etherboot.org/scm/people/mcb30/gcc/.git
FreeBSD requires the object format to be specified as elf_i386_fbsd,
rather than elf_i386.
Based on a patch from Eygene Ryabinkin <rea-fbsd@codelabs.ru>
We have EFI APIs for CPU I/O, PCI I/O, timers, console I/O, user
access and user memory allocation.
EFI executables are created using the vanilla GNU toolchain, with the
EXE header handcrafted in assembly and relocations generated by a
custom efilink utility.
Allow for the build CPU architecture and platform to be specified as part
of the make command goals. For example:
make bin/rtl8139.rom # Standard i386 PC-BIOS build
make bin-efi/rtl8139.efi # i386 EFI build
The generic syntax is "bin[-[arch-]platform]", with the default
architecture being "i386" (regardless of the host architecture) and the
default platform being "pcbios".
Non-path targets such as "srcs" can be specified using e.g.
make bin-efi srcs
Note that this changeset is merely Makefile restructuring to allow the
build architecture and platform to be determined by the make command
goals, and to export these to compiled code via the ARCH and PLATFORM
defines. It doesn't actually introduce any new build platforms.
Updated PXE API dispatcher to use copy_{to,from}_user, and moved to
arch/i386 since the implementation is quite architecture-dependent.
(The individual PXE API calls can be largely
architecture-independent.)
