[int13] Automatically reopen underlying block device as needed
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.

[prefix] Set the "size" bit in the GDT entry for the flat data segment
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.

[linux] Remove Linux-specific code from default (non-Linux) build
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).

After a more accurate reading of RFC 3720, it becomes clear how NOPs
are supposed to work. The current implementation (which just ignores
NOP-Ins) is sufficient to cope with NOP-Ins sent to update CmdSN, but
will need to be extended before it can cope with NOP-Ins sent as iSCSI
keepalives.
Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
Some iSCSI targets (observed with a Synology DS207+ NAS) send
unsolicited NOP-Ins to the initiator. RFC 3720 is remarkably unclear
and possibly self-contradictory on how NOPs are supposed to work, but
it seems as though we can legitimately just ignore any unsolicited
NOP-In PDU.

Some binutils versions will drag in an object to satisfy the entry

[build] Ensure an entry point symbol exists in all builds

ensuring that an entry symbol exists in each possible prefix, and is

[efi] Provide space for storing the EFI driver name

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.

On 64-bit builds, MLX_DECLARE_STRUCT() produces a structure that is
always a multiple of 64 bits long, causing the HCR structure to be
over-length by one dword. This in turn causes hermon_cmd() to write
beyond the end of the HCR, which causes commands to fail.

[pcbios] Merge adjacent memory regions of same type
Some BIOSes can report multiple memory regions which may be adjacent

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

[autoboot] Connect SAN disk during a filename boot, if applicable
For performing installations direct to a SAN target, it can be very
useful to hook a SAN disk and then proceed to perform a filename boot.
For example, the user may wish to hook the (empty) SAN installation
disk and then boot into the OS installer via TFTP. This provides an
alternative mechanism to using "keep-san" and relying on the BIOS to
fall through to boot from the installation media, which is unreliable
on many BIOSes.
When a root-path is specified in addition to a boot filename, attempt
to hook the root-path as a SAN disk before booting from the specified
filename. Since the root-path may be used for non-SAN purposes
(e.g. an NFS root mount point), ignore the root-path if it contains a
URI scheme that we do not support.
