Allow packet transmission to be deferred pending successful ARP
resolution. This avoids the time spent waiting for a higher-level
protocol (e.g. TCP or TFTP) to attempt retransmission.

[undi] Allow underlying PXE stack to construct link-layer header
Some PXE stacks (observed with a QLogic 8242) will always try to
prepend a link-layer header, even if the caller uses P_UNKNOWN to
indicate that the link-layer header has already been filled in. This
results in an invalid packet being transmitted.
Work around these faulty PXE stacks where possible by stripping the
existing link-layer header and allowing the PXE stack to (re)construct
the link-layer header itself.

[iscsi] Send any padding inline with the data segment
Some iSCSI targets respond to a PDU before receiving the padding
bytes. If the target responds quickly enough, this can cause iPXE to
start processing a new TX PDU before the padding bytes have been sent,
which results in a protocol violation.
Fix by always transmitting the padding bytes along with the data
segment.

[rng] Add get_random_nz() function required by RSA algorithm
RSA requires the generation of random non-zero bytes (i.e. a sequence
of random numbers in the range [0x01,0xff]). ANS X9.82 provides
various Approved methods for converting random bits into random
numbers. The simplest such method is the Simple Discard Method.

[rng] Add ANS X9.82 Approved Source of Entropy Input
ANS X9.82 specifies several Approved Sources of Entropy Input (SEI).
One such SEI uses an entropy source as the Source of Entropy Input,
condensing each entropy source output after each GetEntropy call.
This can be implemented relatively cheaply in iPXE and avoids the need
to allocate potentially very large buffers.
(Note that the terms "entropy source" and "Source of Entropy Input"
are not synonyms within the context of ANS X9.82.)
Use the iPXE API mechanism to allow entropy sources to be selected at
compilation time.

iPXE exposes some extended capabilities via the PXE FILE API to allow
NBPs such as pxelinux to use protocols other than TFTP. Provide an
equivalent interface as a UEFI protocol so that EFI binaries may also
take advantage of iPXE's extended capabilities.
This can be used with a patched version of elilo, for example:

Cryptographic random number generation requires an entropy source,
which is used as the input to a Deterministic Random Bit Generator

iPXE does not currently have a suitable entropy source. Provide a
dummy source to allow the DRBG code to be implemented.

strength of 128 bits.

TCP currently neglects to allow sufficient space for its own headers
when allocating I/O buffers. This problem is masked by the fact that
the maximum link-layer header size (802.11) is substantially larger
than the common Ethernet link-layer header.
Fix by allowing sufficient space for any TCP headers, as well as the
network-layer and link-layer headers.
