Some switch configurations will refuse to enable our port unless we
can speak LACP to inform the switch that we are alive. Add a very
simple passive LACP implementation that is sufficient to convince at
least Linux's bonding driver (when tested using qemu attached to a tap
device enslaved to a bond device configured as "mode=802.3ad").

Add an infrastructure allowing the prefix to provide an open_payload()
method for obtaining out-of-band access to the whole iPXE image. Add
a mechanism within this infrastructure that allows raw access to the
expansion ROM BAR by temporarily borrowing an address from a suitable
memory BAR on the same PCI card.
For cards that have a memory BAR that is at least as large as their
expansion ROM BAR, this allows large iPXE ROMs to be supported even on
systems where PMM fails, or where option ROM space pressure makes it
impossible to use PMM shrinking. The BIOS sees only a stub ROM of
approximately 3kB in size; the remainder (which can be well over 64kB)
is loaded only at the time iPXE is invoked.
As a nice side-effect, an iPXE .mrom image will continue to work even
if its PMM-allocated areas are overwritten between initialisation and
invocation.

The only remaining useful function of makerom.pl is to correct the ROM
and PnP checksums; the PCI IDs are set at link time, and padding is
performed using padimg.pl.
Option::ROM already provides a facility for correcting the checksums,
so we may as well just use this instead.

It is common for system memory maps to be grotesquely unreliable
during POST. Many sanity checks have been added to the memory map
reading code, but these do not catch all problems.
Skip relocation entirely if called during POST. This should avoid the
problems typically encountered, at the cost of slightly disrupting the
memory map of an operating system booted via iPXE when iPXE was
entered during POST. Since this is a very rare special case (used,
for example, when reflashing an experimental ROM that would otherwise
prevent the system from completing POST), this is an acceptable cost.

Some BIOSes (at least some AMI BIOSes) tend to refuse to allocate a
single area large enough to hold both the iPXE image source and the
temporary decompression area, despite promising a largest available
PMM memory block of several megabytes. This causes ROM image
shrinking to fail on these BIOSes, with undesirable consequences:
other option ROMs may be disabled due to shortage of option ROM space,
and the iPXE ROM may itself be corrupted by a further BIOS bug (again,
observed on an AMI BIOS) which causes large ROMs to end up overlapping
reserved areas of memory. This can potentially render a system
unbootable via any means.
Increase the chances of a successful PMM allocation by dropping the
alignment requirement (which is redundant now that we can enable A20
from within the prefix); this allows us to reduce the allocation size
from 2MB down to only the required size.
Increase the chances still further by using two separate allocations:
one to hold the image source (i.e. the copy of the ROM before being
shrunk) and the other to act as the decompression area. This allows
ROM image shrinking to take place even on systems that fail to
allocate enough memory for the temporary decompression area.
Improve the behaviour of iPXE in systems with multiple iPXE ROMs by
sharing PMM allocations where possible. Image source areas can be
shared with any iPXE ROMs with a matching build identifier, and the
temporary decompression area can be shared with any iPXE ROMs with the
same uncompressed size (rounded up to the nearest 128kB).

Use INT 15,88 to find a suitable temporary decompression area, rather
than a fixed address. This hopefully gives us a better chance of not
treading on any PMM-allocated areas, in BIOSes where PMM support
exists but tends not to give us the large blocks that we ask for.

The existing "iPXE starting execution" message indicates that the BEV

iPXE currently insists on residing in an even megabyte. This imposes
undesirably severe constraints upon our PMM allocation strategy, and
limits our options for mechanisms to access ROMs greater than 64kB in
size.
Add A20 handling code to libflat so that prefixes are able to access
memory even in odd megabytes.
The algorithms and tuning parameters in the new A20 handling code are
based upon a mixture of the existing iPXE A20 code and the A20 code
from the 2.6.32 Linux kernel.

The flatten_real_mode routine is not needed until after decompressing

Use flat real mode rather than 16-bit protected mode for access to

When returning to real mode, set 4GB segment limits instead of 64kB
limits. This change improves our chances of successfully returning to
a PMM-capable BIOS aftering entering iPXE during POST; the BIOS will
have set up flat real mode before calling our initialisation point,
and may be disconcerted if we then return in genuine real mode.
This change is unlikely to break anything, since any code that might
potentially access beyond 64kB must use addr32 prefixes to do so; if
this is the case then it is almost certainly code written to expect
flat real mode anyway.
Note that it is not possible to restore the real-mode segment limits
to their original values, since it is not possible to know which
protected-mode segment descriptor was originally used to initialise
the limit portion of the segment register.

The .hrom prefix provides an experimental mechanism for reducing
option ROM space usage on systems where PMM allocation fails, by
pretending that PMM allocation succeeded and gave us an address fixed
at compilation time. This is unreliable, and potentially dangerous.
In particular, when multiple gPXE ROMs are present in a system, each
gPXE ROM will assume ownership of the same fixed address, resulting in
undefined behaviour.

The .xrom prefix provides an experimental mechanism for loading ROM
images greater than 64kB in size by mapping the expansion ROM BAR in
at a hopefully-unused address. This is unreliable, and potentially
dangerous. In particular, there is no guarantee that any PCI bridges
between the CPU and the device will respond to accesses for the
"unused" memory region that is chosen, and it is possible that the
process of scanning for the "unused" memory region may end up issuing
reads to other PCI devices. If this ends up trampling on a register
with read side-effects belonging to an unrelated PCI device, this may
cause undefined behaviour.

gPXE currently overwrites the filename stored in the cached DHCP
packets when a call to PXENV_TFTP_READ_FILE or PXENV_RESTART_TFTP is
made. This code has existed for many years as a workaround for RIS,
which seemed to require that this be done.
pxe_set_cached_filename() causes problems with the Bootix NBP, and a
recent test demonstrates that RIS will complete successfully even with
pxe_set_cached_filename() removed. There have been many changes to
the DHCP and PXE logic since this code was first added, and it is
quite plausible that it was masking a bug that no longer exists.

Current gPXE code always returns "OURS" in response to
PXENV_UNDI_ISR:START. This is harmless for non-shared interrupt
lines, and avoids the complexity of trying to determine whether or not
we really did cause the interrupt. (This is a non-trivial
determination; some drivers don't have interrupt support and hook the
system timer interrupt instead, for example.)
A problem occurs when we have a shared interrupt line, the other
device asserts an interrupt, and the controlling ISR does not chain to
the other device's ISR when we return "OURS". Under these
circumstances, the other device's ISR never executes, and so the
interrupt remains asserted, causing an interrupt storm.
Work around this by returning "OURS" if and only if our net device's
interrupt is currently recorded as being enabled. Since we always
disable interrupts as a result of a call to PXENV_UNDI_ISR:START, this
guarantees that we will eventually (on the second call) return "NOT
OURS", allowing the other ISR to be called. Under normal operation,
including a non-shared interrupt situation, this change will make no
difference since PXENV_UNDI_ISR:START would be called only when
interrupts were enabled anyway.
