Allow the active timer (providing udelay() and currticks()) to be
selected at runtime based on probing during the INIT_EARLY stage of
initialisation.
TICKS_PER_SEC is now a fixed compile-time constant for all builds, and
is independent of the underlying clock tick rate. We choose the value
1024 to allow multiplications and divisions on seconds to be converted
to bit shifts.
TICKS_PER_MS is defined as 1, allowing multiplications and divisions
on milliseconds to be omitted entirely. The 2% inaccuracy in this
definition is negligible when using the standard BIOS timer (running
at around 18.2Hz).
TIMER_RDTSC now checks for a constant TSC before claiming to be a
usable timer. (This timer can be tested in KVM via the command-line
option "-cpu host,+invtsc".)

[netdevice] Allow network devices to disclaim IRQ support at runtime
VLAN and 802.11 devices use a network device operations structure that
wraps an underlying structure. For example, the vlan_operations
structure wraps the network device operations structure of the
underlying trunk device. This can cause false positives from the
current implementation of netdev_irq_supported(), which will always
report that VLAN devices support interrupts since it has no visibility
into the support provided by the underlying trunk device.
Fix by allowing network devices to explicitly flag that interrupts are
not supported, despite the presence of an irq() method.

At some point in the past few years, binutils became more aggressive
at removing unused symbols. To function as a symbol requirement, a
relocation record must now be in a section marked with @progbits and
must not be in a section which gets discarded during the link (either
via --gc-sections or via /DISCARD/).
Update REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to generate relocation records meeting these
criteria. To minimise the impact upon the final binary size, we use
existing symbols (specified via the REQUIRING_SYMBOL() macro) as the
relocation targets where possible. We use R_386_NONE or R_X86_64_NONE
relocation types to prevent any actual unwanted relocation taking
place. Where no suitable symbol exists for REQUIRING_SYMBOL() (such
as in config.c), the macro PROVIDE_REQUIRING_SYMBOL() can be used to
generate a one-byte-long symbol to act as the relocation target.
If there are versions of binutils for which this approach fails, then
the fallback will probably involve killing off REQUEST_SYMBOL(),
redefining REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to use the current definition of
REQUEST_SYMBOL(), and postprocessing the linked ELF file with
something along the lines of "nm -u | wc -l" to check that there are
no undefined symbols remaining.

[settings] Explicitly separate the concept of a completed fetched setting
The fetch_setting() family of functions may currently modify the

[process] Pass containing object pointer to process step() methods

[build] Use weak definitions instead of weak declarations
This removes the need for inline safety wrappers, marginally reducing
the size penalty of weak functions, and works around an apparent
binutils bug that causes undefined weak symbols to not actually be
NULL when compiling with -fPIE (as EFI builds do).
A bug in versions of binutils prior to 2.16 (released in 2005) will
cause same-file weak definitions to not work with those
toolchains. Update the README to reflect our new dependency on
binutils >= 2.16.

[802.11] Allow connecting to spectrum managed networks
Contrary to the IEEE specification, some access points apparently
set the Spectrum Mgmt bit in the capabilities field even when
broadcasting on a 2.4GHz band that does not require spectrum
management. Allow gPXE to attempt to connect to such networks;
if spectrum management is really required, our advertisement
of capabilities not including it will result in an association

[netdevice] Add the concept of an "Ethernet-compatible" MAC address
The iBFT is Ethernet-centric in providing only six bytes for a MAC
address. This is most probably an indirect consequence of a similar
design flaw in the Windows NDIS stack. (The WinOF IPoIB stack
performs all sorts of contortions in order to pretend to the NDIS
layer that it is dealing with six-byte MAC addresses.)
There is no sensible way in which to extend the iBFT without breaking
compatibility with programs that expect to parse it. Add the notion
of an "Ethernet-compatible" MAC address to our link layer abstraction,
so that link layers can provide their own workarounds for this
limitation.
802.11 multicast hashing is the same as standard Ethernet hashing, so
just expose and use eth_mc_hash().

[802.11] Properly initialize autoassociation process
The recent change to process_add() to detect duplicate process
additions relies on the fact that all processes will be initialized
using process_init_stopped() before being passed to that function.
The autoassociation process was not initialized in this fashion, so
process_add() erroneously detected it as a duplicate.
Fix by using process_init_stopped() to initialize the autoassociation
process instead of setting the step member directly.

[netdevice] Allow the hardware and link-layer addresses to differ in size
IPoIB has a 20-byte link-layer address, of which only eight bytes
represent anything relating to a "hardware address".
The PXE and EFI SNP APIs expect the permanent address to be the same
size as the link-layer address, so fill in the "permanent address"
field with the initial link layer address (as generated by
register_netdev() based upon the real hardware address).
[netdevice] Separate out the concept of hardware and link-layer addresses
The hardware address is an intrinsic property of the hardware, while
the link-layer address can be changed at runtime. This separation is
exposed via APIs such as PXE and EFI, but is currently elided by gPXE.
Expose the hardware and link-layer addresses as separate properties
within a net device. Drivers should now fill in hw_addr, which will
be used to initialise ll_addr at the time of calling
register_netdev().
When a probe found no results, the list head of beacons would not be
freed, leaking 16 bytes of memory per probe.

[802.11] Set channels early on to avoid tuning to an undefined channel
Some cards (such as ath5k) always need to tune to a particular channel
when they are reset; the reset may happen upon open(), which is before
the channels array would be set up (in prepare_probe()). Avoid tuning
the card to an inconsistent state by copying the hardware
supported-channels array to the 802.11 device's allowable-channels
array even before channels are "properly" set up.

[802.11] Enhance support for driver PHY differences
The prior net80211 model of physical-layer behavior for drivers was
overly simplistic and limited the drivers that could be written. To
be more flexible, split the driver-provided list of supported rates by
band, and add a means for specifying a list of supported channels.
Allow drivers to specify a hardware channel value that will be tied to
uses of the channel.
Expose net80211_duration() to drivers, and make the rate it uses in
its computations configurable, so that it can be used in calculating
durations that must be set in hardware for ACK and CTS packets. Add
net80211_cts_duration() for the common case of calculating the
duration for a CTS packet.
