13d09e6719 [i386] Simplify linker script and standardise linker-defined symbol names
Reduce the number of sections within the linker script to match the
number of practical sections within the output file.

Define _section, _msection, _esection, _section_filesz, _section_memsz,
and _section_lma for each section, replacing the mixture of symbols that
previously existed.

In particular, replace _text and _end with _textdata and _etextdata, to
make it explicit within code that uses these symbols that the .text and
.data sections are always treated as a single contiguous block.

99251f5b32 [libprefix] Add addr32 prefix required by older assemblers
Explicitly state that we are using 32-bit addressing in 16-bit code.

GNU as 2.15 (FreeBSD/amd64 7-STABLE) got confused that 32-bit registers
are used in the code that was declared as 16-bit.  Add explicit modifier
'addr32' to make assembler happy.

fd0aef9ee1 [prefix] Add PCI bus:dev.fn to ROM product string
This allows multiple gPXE ROMs in a system to be disambiguated at boot
time; the PCI ID will show up in the boot menu for a BBS-compliant BIOS.

3bf7105cab [prefix] Cope with image source addresses outside base memory
When PMM is used, the gPXE image source will no longer be in base memory.
Decompression of .text16 and .data16 can therefore no longer be done in
real mode.

297002d7bd [prefix] Add printing functions to libprefix.S
Move the printing functions from pxeprefix.S into libprefix.S, so they
are available for debug from any prefix.

12f203c606 [PXE] Add PMM support to romprefix.S (untested)
ROM initialisation vector now attempts to allocate a 2MB block using
PMM.  If successful, it copies the ROM image to this block, then
shrinks the ROM image to allow for more option ROMs.  If unsuccessful,
it leaves the ROM as-is.

ROM BEV now attempts to return to the BIOS, resorting to INT 18 only
if the BIOS stack has been corrupted.

dec325fe43 Use full protected mode for access to high memory within prefix, to
work around limitations in real-mode virtualisation support on Intel
VT-capable chips.

2cfe0dee1f Don't trash the %ecx value returned by relocate(). This was causing
us to round down the size for the relocation copy to the nearest 64kB
(+0x10 bytes); this just happened to work on most machines because the
last 64kB of the image is all-zeroes anyway (it's the .bss).

ab859a5355 Use a single _payload_offset linker-defined variable to locate the
start of the non-prefix blocks in the loaded image, and rely on the
image ordering.  This should make introducing compression much easier.

dca369ddc3 Call hide_etherboot() from startup(), rather than requiring the prefix to
do it.

6abfaa153b Towards making KEEP_IT_REAL work again.
Fix bug that caused over-allocation of .text16 and .data16 memory areas
by a factor of 16.

89da833c5d init_librm() and prot_call() are now real-mode far calls.
install() now calls relocate(), moves the protected-mode code to the new
location, and calls hide_etherboot().

832807726a Add infrastructure to support access to .data16 (and .text16) variables
from protected-mode code.

Set up %ds to point to .data16 in prot_to_real, so that code specified
via REAL_EXEC() and friends can access variables in .data16.

Move most real-mode librm variables from .text16 to .data16.

10c28a51bd Create two easy-to-use entry points in libprefix: install and
install_prealloc.  I *think* these will suffice for all the 16-bit
prefixes.

d081d65d48 This should be much more elegant: we use flat real mode for the
highmem data, so decompress16 will be able to unpack blocks bigger
than 64kB.

cc8821a443 Checking in because I don't want to lose this rather neat code for
running the decompresser in 16:16 protected mode using the real-mode
stack.  However, there's an even simpler way to do it...
