Jason Wang 6a258d8d55 [virtio] Support VIRTIO_NET_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM
Since we don't enable IOMMU at all, we can then simply enable the
IOMMU support by claiming the support of VIRITO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM.
This fixes booting failure when iommu_platform is set from qemu cli.

Ladi Prosek fba3b39900 [virtio] Remove queue size limit in legacy virtio
Virtio 0.9 implementation was limited to the maximum virtqueue size of
MAX_QUEUE_NUM and the virtio-net driver would fail to initialize on hosts
exceeding this limit.

This commit lifts the restriction by allocating the queue memory based on
the actual queue size instead of using a fixed maximum. Note that virtio
1.0 still uses the MAX_QUEUE_NUM constant to cap the size (unfortunately
this functionality is not available in virtio 0.9).

Ladi Prosek e45451c699 [virtio] Cap queue size to MAX_QUEUE_NUM
vpm_find_vqs incorrectly accepted the host provided queue size with no
regard to iPXE's internal limitations. Virtio 1.0 makes it possible for
the driver to override the queue size to reduce memory requirements and
iPXE is a great use case for this feature.

Also removing the extra vq->vring.num assignment which is already
handled in vring_init.

Ladi Prosek 8a055a2a70 [virtio] Add virtio 1.0 PCI support
This commit adds support for driving virtio 1.0 PCI devices.  In
addition to various helpers, a number of vpm_ functions are introduced
to be used instead of their legacy vp_ counterparts when accessing
virtio 1.0 (aka modern) devices.

Ladi Prosek 7b499f849e [virtio] Add virtio 1.0 constants and data structures
Virtio 1.0 introduces new constants and data structures, common to all
devices as well as specific to virtio-net.  This commit adds a subset
of these to be able to drive the virtio-net 1.0 network device.

Stefan Hajnoczi e4419ff97c [virtio] Replace virtio-net with native iPXE driver
This patch adds a native iPXE virtio-net driver and removes the legacy
Etherboot virtio-net driver.  The main reasons for doing this are:

1. Multiple virtio-net NICs are now supported by iPXE.  The legacy
   driver kept global state and caused issues in virtual machines with
   more than one virtio-net device.

2. Faster downloads.  The native iPXE driver downloads 100 MB over
   HTTP in 12s, the legacy Etherboot driver in 37s.  This simple
   benchmark uses KVM with tap networking and the Python
   SimpleHTTPServer both running on the same host.

Changes to core virtio code reduce vring descriptors to 256 (QEMU uses
128 for virtio-blk and 256 for virtio-net) and change the opaque token
from u16 to void*.  Lowering the descriptor count reduces memory
consumption.  The void* opaque token change makes driver code simpler.

Michael Brown 8406115834 [build] Rename gPXE to iPXE
Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated
resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain.  Work
around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and
updating URLs to match.

Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.
