and creating a memory map that's easier to work with than the E820 map.

down to base memory, since it is now in the base-memory-resident
.text16 section).

usual __{text,data}16 trick work with arrays.  gcc seems to accept the
__asm__ ( asmlabel ) only after the [] of the array declaration, not
before.

We now split e820 regions around ourselves, rather than just
truncating the e820 region.  This avoids the worst-case scenario of
losing all memory over 4GB.

It's more important to get the memory map right now that we're
expecting to still be loaded when the OS starts in several situations
(e.g. Linux with UNDI driver, any OS with iSCSI/AoE boot, etc.).

Tidied up debug messages; the log now contains one line per INT 13
operation, looking like

 INT 13,08 (80): Get drive parameters
 INT 13,02 (80): Read: C/H/S 0/47/14 = LBA 0xb9e <-> 1084:0000 (count 106)

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).

about format errors for %zX arguments.

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).

Add method for hooking real-mode interrupt vectors.

Use .text16.data section with "aw" attributes, to avoid section type

Add __from_{text16,data16}.

Avoid optimisation errors under -fstrict-aliasing.

between the low half stored in the static variable rm_sp, and the high
half stored on the prot_call() stack, because:

  Just using the stack would screw up when a prot_call()ed routine
  executes a real_call(); it would have no way to find the current top of
  the RM stack.

  Extending rm_sp to rm_esp would not be safe, because the guarantee that
  rm_sp must return to the correct value by the time an external
  real-mode call returns applies only to %sp, not to %esp.

interrupt vectors, for example, will be easiest to handle if placed in
.text16.

from protected-mode code.

Set up %ds to point to .data16 in prot_to_real, so that code specified
via REAL_EXEC() and friends can access variables in .data16.

Move most real-mode librm variables from .text16 to .data16.

.data16.  librm will need to supply "char *data16", i.e. the virtual

init_fns() are called from main().  We need to think about initial

install_prealloc.  I *think* these will suffice for all the 16-bit

However, it's worth adding a .size directive so that objdump reports the

EBADIMG has been replaced by ENOEXEC, and EIMGRET by ECANCELED.

Doing so, in fact, seems to expose an assembler bug; (a-b-0) is
apparently not the same as (a-b).  Go figure.

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.
