period before updating to the new driver API (which can cope with
having TX packets in progress).

(This actually matters once you try using TCP, because you *will*
receive full-sized frames.)

Update rtl8139 driver to instantiate an SPI interface with a three-wire
device attached.

(since SPI bit-bashing will require different delay semantics).

Print warning message at probe time.

not-yet-updated drivers to at least function.

layer asynchronous, so keeping the sync/async boundary within aoedev.c
seems cleanest for now.

async_wait(), though we may wish to move this higher up the stack, and
consider making the block device model asynchronous.  (There is only a
marginal cost for synchronous devices, since they can simply call
async_done() before returning; async_wait() will work seamlessly in this
situation).

Removed data_in_len and data_out_len from ata_command structure; the
lengths are implied by the sector count and the presence of the data_in
or data_out pointers.

Changed AoE code to use subcommands by default, and made aoe_issue()
nonblocking (with completion via async_wait()).

  Cannot yet handle reads of more than two sectors

  No retransmission

  No way to find out a target's MAC address (this proof of concept uses
  broadcasts)

These limitations shall not last long!  :)

Increase code simplicity at the expense of around 64 bytes.

generic three-wire serial device support for EEPROM access.

used on RTL8139 cards).

enough to support both real IDE chipsets and AoE.

READ(16) is mandatory); we must use READ CAPACITY (10) first and then
use READ CAPACITY (16) if the READ CAPACITY (10) returns "out of range".

the kernel), which encapsulates the information needed to refer to an
external buffer.  Under normal operation, this can just be a void *
equivalent, but under -DKEEP_IT_REAL it would be a segoff_t equivalent.

Use this concept to avoid the need for bounce buffers in int13.c,
which reduces memory usage and opens up the possibility of using
multi-sector reads.

Extend the block-device API and the SCSI block device implementation
to support multi-sector reads.

Update iscsi.c to use user buffers.

Move the obsolete portions of realmode.h to old_realmode.h.

MS-DOS now boots an order of magnitude faster over iSCSI (~10 seconds
from power-up to C:> prompt in bochs).

typical build will now include 880 bytes of PCI support code, compared to
2327 bytes in Etherboot 5.4.

(There is a slight cost of around 5 extra bytes per access to a
non-constant config space address; this should be an overall win.
Driver-specific accesses will usually be to constant addresses, for
which there is no additional cost.)

Generic PCI code now handles 64-bit BARs correctly when setting
"membase"; drivers should need to call pci_bar_start() only if they want
to use BARs other than the first memory or I/O BAR.

Split rarely-used PCI functions out into pciextra.c.

Core PCI code is now 662 bytes (down from 1308 bytes in Etherboot 5.4).
284 bytes of this saving comes from the pci/pciextra split.

Cosmetic changes to lots of drivers (e.g. vendor_id->vendor in order to
match the names used in Linux).

implementation.

Tie into existing driver API; we'll fix that up soon.

even when __atribute__ (( unused )) is correctly set...

I want to get to the point where any header in include/ reflects a
standard user-level header (e.g. a POSIX header), while everything that's
specific to gPXE lives in include/gpxe/.  Headers that reflect a Linux
header (e.g. if_ether.h) should also be in include/gpxe/, with the same
name as the Linux header and, preferably, the same names used for the
definitions.

implementation allows for only one, and does so without compromising on
the efficiency of static allocation).

Link-layer protocols are cleanly separated from the device drivers.

Network-layer protocols are cleanly separated from individual network
devices.

Link-layer and network-layer protocols are cleanly separated from each
other.

No code changes apart from commenting one unused function out.
