Some IBM BIOSes provide partial support for PnP: they will use the BEV
entry point but will not advertise PnP support. This causes iPXE to
hook INT 19, which disrupts the boot process.
Attempt to improve this situation by detecting an IBM BIOS and
treating it as a PnP BIOS despite the absence of a PnP signature.

Some versions of binutils have curious concepts of what constitutes
subtraction. For example:
0x00000000000000f0 _text16_late = .
0x0000000000000898 _mtext16 = .
0x0000000000000898 _etext16 = .
0x0000000000000898 _text16_late_filesz = ABSOLUTE ((_mtext16 - _text16_late))
0x00000000000007a8 _text16_late_memsz = ABSOLUTE ((_etext16 - _text16_late))
This has interesting side-effects such as producing sizes for .bss
segments that are negative, causing the majority of addressable memory
to be zeroed out.
Fix by using the form
ABSOLUTE ( x ) - ABSOLUTE ( y )
rather than
ABSOLUTE ( x - y )

Some PXE stacks (notably old Etherboot/gPXE stacks) will claim to use
the timer interrupt, rather than reporting that interrupts are not
supported. Since using the timer interrupt is equivalent to polling
anyway, we may as well genuinely poll these stacks.

PCI_ROM() and ISA_ROM() macros occur only within driver files.
Running parserom.pl on non-driver files is therefore redundant.
Skip running parserom.pl on any files outside a "drivers" directory.
This reduces the time taken to generate build rules and dependencies
after a "make veryclean" by around 12%.

Current BOFM versions are unable to create entries with mport>1, which
means that only the port 1 MAC address can be explicitly specified.
Work around this by using the provided MAC address as a base address
for all subsequent ports. For example, if BOFM assigns the address
00:1A:64:76:00:09 for port 1
then we will assign the addresses
00:1A:64:76:00:09 for port 1
00:1A:64:76:00:0a for port 2
Future BOFM versions that may correctly support mport will work with
this scheme without modification provided that the BOFM entries are
created in increasing order of mport. Since BOFM tools tend to
generate entries in increasing order (of slot, port, etc), this is not
an unreasonable compromise.

GNU gold (part of newer binutils builds) does not appear to be
designed to support generic linker functionality, since its source
code contains several Linux-specific hard-coded assumptions about the
layout of ELF binaries. Attempting to build iPXE using GNU gold will
generally cause some kind of "linker internal error".
Provide an explicit error message suggesting the use of GNU ld
instead.

Commit 3f442d3 ("[tcp] Record ts_recent on first received packet")
failed to achieve its stated intention.
Fix this (and reduce the code size) by moving the ts_recent update to
tcp_rx_seq(). This is the code responsible for advancing the window,
called by both tcp_rx_syn() and tcp_rx_data(), and so the window check
is now redundant.

Commit b5f5f73 ("[cmdline] Expand settings within each command-line
token individually") introduced a regression into the "isset" command:
it is now possible for command-line arguments to be empty strings, and
so "isset" cannot simply check for a non-empty argument list.
Restore previous behaviour by checking for the presence of any
non-empty arguments, rather than checking for a non-empty argument
list.

Each PCI ROM currently ends up appearing twice in the $(ROMS) list:
once under its designated name (e.g. "rtl8139.rom"), once under its
PCI IDs (e.g. "bin/10ec8139.rom").
Include only the latter of these in the $(ROMS) list, so that doing
"make allroms" will generate only one copy of each ROM.

iPXE operates the forcedeth NIC in promiscuous mode, and never changes
the unicast MAC address filter registers. We should not therefore set
the flag indicating (to other drivers loaded later) that the MAC
address order has already been corrected.

The forcedeth driver currently implements unicast MAC address
filtering in software. This is almost invariably the wrong thing to
do (since the network stack must already be able to cope with unwanted
packets) and it breaks FCoE (which requires the card to operate in
promiscuous mode).
Also, the implementation is buggy: is_local_ether_addr() is used to
check for a locally-assigned Ethernet address (not to check for a
unicast address), and the current link-layer address is in
netdev->ll_addr, not netdev->hw_addr.
Fix by removing this code.

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.
