Describe all SAN devices via ACPI tables such as the iBFT. For tables
that can describe only a single device (i.e. the aBFT and sBFT), one
table is installed per device. For multi-device tables (i.e. the
iBFT), all devices are described in a single table.
An underlying SAN device connection may be closed at the time that we
need to construct an ACPI table. We therefore introduce the concept
of an "ACPI descriptor" which enables the SAN boot code to maintain an
opaque pointer to the underlying object, and an "ACPI model" which can
build tables from a list of such descriptors. This separates the
lifecycles of ACPI descriptions from the lifecycles of the block
device interfaces, and allows for construction of the ACPI tables even
if the block device interface has been closed.
For a multipath SAN device, iPXE will wait until sufficient
information is available to describe all devices but will not wait for
all paths to connect successfully. For example: with a multipath
iSCSI boot iPXE will wait until at least one path has become available
and name resolution has completed on all other paths. We do this
since the iBFT has to include IP addresses rather than DNS names. We
will commence booting without waiting for the inactive paths to either
become available or close; this avoids unnecessary boot delays.
Note that the Linux kernel will refuse to accept an iBFT with more
than two NIC or target structures. We therefore describe only the
NICs that are actually required in order to reach the described
targets. Any iBFT with at most two targets is therefore guaranteed to
describe at most two NICs.

For some block device protocols, the active path may continue to
receive xfer_window_changed() notifications during normal use. These
currently result in the active path being erroneously closed.
Fix by ignoring any xfer_window_changed() messages if this path is
already the active path.

[block] Retry reopening indefinitely for multipath devices
For multipath SAN devices, verify that the device is capable of being
opened (i.e. that all URIs are parseable and that at least one path is
alive) and thereafter retry indefinitely to reopen the device as
needed.

[block] Add a small delay between attempts to reopen SAN targets
When all SAN targets are completely unreachable, there will be a
natural delay between reopening attempts due to the network connection
timeout on the unreachable targets.
However, some SAN targets may accept connections instantly and report
a temporary unavailability by e.g. failing the TEST UNIT READY
command. If all targets are behaving this way then there will be no
natural delay, and we will attempt to saturate the network with
connection attempts.
Fix by introducing a small delay between attempts.

Allow the SAN retry count to be configured via the ${san-retry}
setting, defaulting to the current value of 10 retries if not
specified.
Note that setting a retry count of zero is inadvisable, since iSCSI
targets in particular will often report spurious errors such as "power
on occurred" for the first few commands.

[int13con] Avoid overwriting random portions of SAN boot disks
The INT13 console type (CONSOLE_INT13) autodetects at initialisation
time a magic partition to be used for logging iPXE console output. If
the INT13 drive number mapping is subsequently changed (e.g. because
iPXE was used to perform a SAN boot), then the console logging output
will be written to the incorrect disk.
Fix by recording the INT13 vector at initialisation time, and using
this original vector to emulate INT13 calls for all subsequent
accesses. This should be robust against drive remapping performed
either by ourselves or by another bootloader (e.g. a chainloaded
undionly.kpxe which then performs a SAN boot).

[int13] Improve geometry guessing for unaligned partitions
Some partition tables have partitions that are not aligned to a
cylinder boundary, which confuses the current geometry guessing logic.
Enhance the existing logic to ensure that we never reduce our guesses
for the number of heads or sectors per track, and add extra logic to
calculate the exact number of sectors per track if we find a partition
that starts within cylinder zero.

Add basic support for multipath block devices. The "sanboot" and
"sanhook" commands now accept a list of SAN URIs. We open all URIs
concurrently. The first connection to become available for issuing
block device commands is marked as the active path and used for all
subsequent commands; all other connections are then closed. Whenever
the active path fails, we reopen all URIs and repeat the process.

[scsi] Avoid duplicate call to scsicmd_close() on TEST UNIT READY failure
When the TEST UNIT READY command receives an error response, the
shutdown of the command's block data interface will result in
scsidev_ready() closing the SCSI device. This will subsequently
result in a duplicate call to scsicmd_close(), leading to an assertion
failure when list_del() is called for the second time.
Fix by removing the command from the list of outstanding commands
before shutting down the command's interfaces.

[iobuf] Increase minimum I/O buffer size to 128 bytes
The eIPoIB translation layer needs to translate outbound ARP packets
from Ethernet to IPoIB. A 64-byte buffer (starting with the Ethernet
header) does not provide enough tailroom to expand to hold the two
20-byte IPoIB MAC addresses. The result is that an UNDI API user will
be unable to send ARP packets.
We could potentially shuffle the packet contents to reuse the space
occupied by the stripped Ethernet link-layer header, but this would
add complexity. Instead, fix by increasing the minimum allocation
size to 128 bytes.

B0_CTST is a 24bit register according to the vendor driver (sk98lin).
A 16bit read on B0_CTST will always return 0 for Y2_VAUX_AVAIL
(1<<16), so use a 32bit read when testing Y2_VAUX_AVAIL.

The value of ( ( x & 0x0c00 ) | 0x0c00 ) is always 0x0c00 regardless
of the value of x, and so the read_csr() is redundant. (There are no
read side effects for this register, according to the datasheet.)
This line of code originated in Linux kernel 2.3.19pre1 as
a->write_csr(ioaddr, 80, a->read_csr(ioaddr, 80) | 0x0c00);
and was modified in kernel 2.3.41pre4 to read
a->write_csr(ioaddr, 80, (a->read_csr(ioaddr, 80) & 0x0C00) | 0x0c00);
In the absence of commit messages, the intention of the code is
unclear. However, the logic resulting in a fixed value of 0x0c00 has
remained unaltered for over 17 years, and can probably be assumed to
have the correct overall result.

[infiniband] Return status code from ib_create_cq() and ib_create_qp()
Any underlying errors arising during ib_create_cq() or ib_create_qp()

the root cause of the error.

[build] Avoid confusing sparse in single-argument DBG() macros
