Add a configuration settings block for each net device. This will
provide the parent scope for settings applicable only to that network
device (e.g. non-volatile options stored on the NIC, options obtained via
DHCP, etc.).
Expose the MAC address as a setting.
Add the notion of the settings hierarchy, complete with
register/unregister routines.
Rename set->store and get->fetch to avoid naming conflicts with get/put
as used in reference counting.
Add the concept of an abstract configuration setting, comprising a (DHCP)
tag value and an associated byte sequence.
Add the concept of a settings namespace.
Add functions for extracting string, IPv4 address, and signed and
unsigned integer values from configuration settings (analogous to
dhcp_snprintf(), dhcp_ipv4_option(), etc.).
Update functions for parsing and formatting named/typed options to work
with new settings API.
Update NVO commands and config UI to use new settings API.
Timers are sometimes required before the call to initialise(), so we
cannot rely on initialise() to set up the timers before use.
Also fix a potential integer overflow issue in generic_currticks_udelay()
Add missing comments to timer code.
Lock system if no suitable timer source is found.
Fix initialisation order so that timers are initialised before code that
needs to use them.
show_setting() and related functions now return an "actual length" in the
style of snprintf(). This is to allow consumers to allocate buffers large
enough to hold the formatted setting.
Timer subsystem initialization code in core/timer.c
Split the BIOS and RTDSC timer drivers from i386_timer.c
Split arch/i386/firmware/pcbios/bios.c into the RTSDC
timer driver and arch/i386/core/nap.c
Split the headers properly:
include/unistd.h - delay functions to be used by the
gPXE core and drivers.
include/gpxe/timer.h - the fimer subsystem interface
to be used by the timer drivers
and currticks() to be used by
the code gPXE subsystems.
include/latch.h - removed
include/timer.h - scheduled for removal. Some driver
are using currticks, which is
only for core subsystems.

Arbel and Hermon cards both have multiple ports. Add the
infrastructure required to register each port as a separate IB
device. Don't yet register more than one port, since registration
will currently fail unless a valid link is detected.
Use ib_*_{set,get}_{drv,owner}data wrappers to access driver- and
owner-private data on Infiniband structures.
Pull out common code for handling management datagrams from arbel.c
and hermon.c into infiniband.c.
Add port number to struct ib_device.
Add open(), close() and mad() methods to struct ib_device_operations.
