Almost all clients of the raw-packet interfaces (UNDI and SNP) can
handle only Ethernet link layers. Expose an Ethernet-compatible link
layer to local clients, while remaining compatible with IPoIB on the
wire. This requires manipulation of ARP (but not DHCP) packets within
the IPoIB driver.
This is ugly, but it's the only viable way to allow IPoIB devices to
be driven via the raw-packet interfaces.

COMBOOT images are detected by looking for a ".com" or ".cbt" filename
extension. There are widely-used files with a ".com" extension, such
as "wdsnbp.com", which are PXE images rather than COMBOOT images.
Avoid false detection of PXE images as COMBOOT images by accepting
only a ".cbt" extension as indicating a COMBOOT image.
Interestingly, this bug has been present for a long time but was
frequently concealed because the filename was truncated to fit the
fixed-length "name" field in struct image. (PXE binaries ending in
".com" tend to be related to Windows deployment products and so often
use pathnames including backslashes, which iPXE doesn't recognise as a
path separator and so treats as part of a very long filename.)
Commit 1c127a6 ("[image] Simplify image management commands and
internal API") made the image name a variable-length field, and so
exposed this flaw in the COMBOOT image detection algorithm.

PCI3.0 allows us to report a "runtime size" which can be smaller than
the actual ROM size. On systems that support PMM our runtime size
will be small (~2.5kB), which helps to conserve the limited option ROM
space. However, there is no guarantee that the PMM allocation will
succeed, and so we need to report the worst-case runtime size in the
PCI header.

PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK is designed to allow ipxelinux.0 to unload both
the iPXE and pxelinux components without affecting the underlying PXE
stack. Unfortunately, it causes unexpected behaviour in other
situations, such as when loading a non-embedded pxelinux.0 via
undionly.kpxe. For example:
PXE ROM -> undionly.kpxe -> pxelinux.0 -> chain.c32 to boot hd0
would cause control to return to iPXE instead of booting from the hard
disk. In some cases, this would result in a harmless but confusing
"No more network devices" message; in other cases stranger things
would happen, such as being returned to the iPXE shell prompt.
The fundamental problem is that when pxelinux detects
PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK, it may attempt to specify an exit hook and then
exit back to iPXE, assuming that iPXE will in turn exit cleanly via
the specified exit hook. This is not a valid assumption in the
general case, since the action of exiting back to iPXE does not
directly cause iPXE to exit itself. (In the specific case of
ipxelinux.0, this will work since the embedded script exits as soon as
pxelinux.0 exits.)
Fix the unexpected behaviour in the non-ipxelinux.0 cases by including
support for PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK only when using a new .kkkpxe format.
The ipxelinux.0 build process should therefore now use undionly.kkkpxe
instead of undionly.kkpxe.

Some PXE stacks advertise that interrupts are not supported, despite
requiring the use of interrupts. Attempt to cope with such cards
without breaking others by always hooking the interrupt, and using the
"interrupts supported" flag only to decide whether or not to wait for
an interrupt before calling PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_PROCESS.
The possible combinations are therefore:
1. Card generates interrupts and claims to support interrupts
iPXE will call PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_PROCESS only after an interrupt
has been observed. (This is required to avoid lockups in some PXE
stacks, which spuriously sulk if called before an interrupt has
been generated.)
Such a card should work correctly.
2. Card does not generate interrupts and does not claim to support
interrupts
iPXE will call PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_PROCESS indiscriminately, matching
the observed behaviour of at least one other PXE NBP (winBoot/i).
Such a card should work correctly.
3. Card generates interrupts but claims not to support interrupts
iPXE will call PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_PROCESS indiscriminately. An
interrupt will still result in a call to PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_START.
Such a card may work correctly.

definitions, and shrink the representation of the ANSI sequences in
bios_console.c to compensate.

Refactor the {load,exec} image operations as {probe,exec}. This makes
the probe mechanism cleaner, eliminates some forward declarations,
avoids holding magic state in image->priv, eliminates the possibility
of screwing up between the "load" and "exec" stages, and makes the
documentation simpler since the concept of "loading" (as distinct from
"executing") no longer needs to be explained.

The online documentation (e.g. http://ipxe.org/cmd/ifopen), though not
yet complete, is far more comprehensive than could be provided within
the iPXE binary. Save around 200 bytes (compressed) by removing the
command descriptions from the interactive help, and instead referring
users directly to the web page describing the relevant command.

We currently use INT 13,00 as an opportunity to reopen the underlying
block device, which works well for callers such as DOS that will use
INT 13,00 in response to any disk errors. However, some callers (such
as Windows Server 2008) do not attempt to reset the disk, and so any
failures become effectively permanent.
Fix this by automatically reopening the underlying block device
whenever we might want to access it.
This makes direct installation of Windows to an iSCSI target much more
reliable.

The "size" bit (aka the D/B) bit should (as far as I can tell) be
irrelevant for accesses to a non-code, non-stack, expand-upwards
segment. However, VirtualBox fails on some accesses via this segment
if this bit is not set.
This change allows iPXE to boot under VirtualBox without having to
disable VT-x/AMD-V support.

Building the Linux-specific code (tap.o et al) requires external
headers that have proven to be extremely variable across systems,
causing frequent build failures.
Until this situation is rectified, remove the Linux-specific code from
the default (non-Linux build).

Some binutils versions will drag in an object to satisfy the entry
symbol; some won't. Try to cope with this exciting variety of
behaviour by ensuring that all entry symbols are unique.
Remove the explicit inclusion of the prefix object on the linker
command line, since the entry symbol now provides all the information
needed to identify the prefix.

Commit 623469d ("[build] Eliminate unused sections at link-time")
introduced a regression in several build formats, in which the prefix
would end up being garbage-collected out of existence. Fix by
ensuring that an entry symbol exists in each possible prefix, and is
required by the linker script.

EFI performs its own PCI bus enumeration. Respect this, and start
controlling devices only when instructed to do so by EFI.
As a side benefit, we should now correctly create multiple SNP
instances for multi-port devices.
This should also fix the problem of failing to enumerate devices
because the PCI bridges have not yet been enabled at the time the iPXE
driver is loaded.

Some BIOSes can report multiple memory regions which may be adjacent
and the same type. Since only the first region is used in the
mboot.c32 layer it's possible to run out of memory when loading all of
the boot modules. One may get around this problem by having iPXE
merge these memory regions internally.

Flat real mode works perfectly on real hardware, but seems to cause
problems for some hypervisors. Revert to using 16-bit protected mode
(and returning to real mode with 4GB limits, so as not to break PMM
BIOSes).
Allow the code specific to the .mrom format to continue to assume that
flat real mode works, since this format is specific to real hardware.

Earlier versions of the PXE specification do not have the SubVendor_ID
and SubDevice_ID fields, and some NBPs may not provide space for them.
Avoid overwriting the contents of these fields, just in case.
This is similar to the problem with the BufferLimit field in
PXENV_GET_CACHED_INFO.

Use the real-mode address ffff:0010 to access the linear address
0x100000, and so test whether or not the A20 gate is enabled without
requiring a switch into flat real mode (or some other addressing
mode).
This speeds up CPU mode transitions, and also avoids breaking the NBP
from IBM's Tivoli Provisioning Manager for Operating System
Deployment. This NBP makes some calls to iPXE in VM86 mode rather
than true real mode and does not correctly emulate our transition into
flat real mode.
Interestingly, Tivoli's VMM *does* allow us to switch into protected
mode (though it patches our GDT so that we execute in ring 1 rather
than ring 0). However, paging is still disabled and we have a 4GB
segment limit. Being in ring 1 does not, therefore, restrict us in
any meaningful way; this has been verified by deliberately writing
garbage over Tivoli's own GDT (at address 0x02201010) during a
nominally VM86-mode PXE API call. It's unclear precisely what
protection this VMM is supposed to be offering.

Some network cards do not generate interrupts when operated via the
UNDI API. Allow for this by waiting for the ISR to be triggered only
if the PXE stack advertises that it supports interrupts. When the PXE
stack does not advertise interrupt support, we skip the call to
PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_START and just poll the device using
PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_PROCESS. This matches the observed behaviour of at
least one other PXE NBP (emBoot's winBoot/i), so there is a reasonable
chance of this working.
