Use hex_decode() to parse "hex" and "hexhyp" settings. Note that this
parser is stricter than the old parser; it now requires exactly two
hex digits for each byte. (The old parser was based upon strtoul()
and so would allow leading whitespace and a leading plus or minus
sign.)

Expose the build architecture (e.g. "i386" or "x86_64") via
${buildarch} and the firmware platform (e.g. "pcbios" or "efi") via

Note that the build architecture reflects the architecture for which
iPXE was compiled, not the architecture on which iPXE is currently
running. The "cpuid" command can be used to detect a 64-bit system at
runtime.

When fetching a named setting using a name that does not explicitly
specify a type, default to using the type stored when the setting was
created, rather than always defaulting to "string". This allows the
behaviour of user-defined settings to match the behaviour of
predefined settings (which have a sensible default type).
For example:
set server:ipv4 192.168.0.1
echo ${server}
will now print "192.168.0.1", rather than trying to print out the raw
IPv4 address bytes as a string.
The downside of this change is that existing tricks for printing
special characters within scripts may require (backwards-compatible)
modification. For example, the "clear screen" sequence:
set esc:hex 1b
set cls ${esc}[2J
echo ${cls}
will now have to become
set esc:hex 1b
set cls ${esc:string}[2J # Must now explicitly specify ":string"
echo ${cls}

The maximum TCP throughput is fundamentally limited by the amount of

Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
I/O buffers are allocated on aligned boundaries. The I/O buffer
descriptor (the struct io_buffer) is currently attached to the end of
the I/O buffer. When the size of the buffer is close to its
alignment, this can waste large amounts of aligned memory.
For example, a network card using 2048-byte receive buffers will end
up allocating 2072 bytes on a 2048-byte boundary. This effectively
wastes 50% of the available memory.
Improve the situation by allocating the descriptor separately from the
main I/O buffer if inline allocation would cause the total allocated
size to cross the alignment boundary.

iPXE currently aligns all I/O buffers on a 2kB boundary. This is
overkill for transmitted packets, which are typically much smaller
than 2kB.
Align I/O buffers on their own size. This reduces the alignment
requirement for small buffers, while preserving the guarantee that I/O
buffers will never cross boundaries that might cause problems for some
DMA engines.

Polling for the data-transfer window to become open is wasteful. We
can eliminate the polling loop by using hw_step() as the handler for
an xfer_window_changed() event.
If the window is already open at the time of instantiation, then
xfer_window_changed() may never be called. We can cover this case by
using hw_step() as the step() method of a one-shot process. Since the
signature for an xfer_window_changed() method is identical to the
signature for a process step() method, the same function can be used
for both.

A scriptlet is a single iPXE command that can be stored in
non-volatile option storage and used to override the default
"autoboot" behaviour without having to reflash the iPXE image.
For example, a scriptlet could contain
autoboot || reboot
to instruct iPXE to reboot the system if booting fails.
Unlike an embedded image, the presence of a scriptlet does not inhibit
the initial "Press Ctrl-B..." prompt. This allows the user to recover
from setting a faulty scriptlet.
