The Infiniband specification (volume 1, section 11.4.1.2 "Post Receive
Request") notes that for UD QPs, the GRH will be placed in the first
40 bytes of the receive buffer if present. (If no GRH is present,
which is normal, then the first 40 bytes of the receive buffer will be
unused.)
Mellanox hardware performs this placement automatically: other headers
will be stripped (and their values returned via the CQE), but the
first 40 bytes of the data buffer will be consumed by the (probably
non-existent) GRH.
This does not fit neatly into iPXE's internal abstraction, which
expects the data buffer to represent just the data payload with the
addresses from the GRH (if present) passed as additional parameters to
ib_complete_recv().
The end result of this discrepancy is that attempts to receive
full-sized 2048-byte IPoIB packets on Mellanox hardware will fail.
Fix by allocating a separate ring buffer to hold the received GRHs.

[linda] Use standard readq() and writeq() implementations
This driver is the original source of the current readq() and writeq()
implementations for 32-bit iPXE. Switch to using the now-centralised
definitions, to avoid including architecture-specific code in an
otherwise architecture-independent driver.

Some EoIB implementations utilise an EoIB-to-Ethernet gateway device
that does not perform a FullMember join to the multicast group for the
EoIB broadcast domain. This has various exciting side-effects, such
as requiring every EoIB node to send every broadcast packet twice.
As an added bonus, the gateway may also break the EoIB MAC address to
GID mapping protocol by sending Ethernet-sourced packets from the
wrong QPN.

[eoib] Allow the multicast group to be forcefully created
Some EoIB implementations require each individual EoIB node to create
the multicast group for the EoIB broadcast domain.
It is left as an exercise for the interested reader to determine how
such an implementation might ever allow the parameters of such a
multicast group to be changed without requiring a simultaneous upgrade
of every driver on every operating system on every machine currently
attached to the fabric.

Some EoIB implementations transmit a vendor-proprietary heartbeat
packet on the same multicast group used to provide the EoIB broadcast
domain.
Silently ignore these heartbeat packets, to avoid cluttering up the
network interface error statistics.

EoIB is a fairly simple protocol in which raw Ethernet frames
(excluding the CRC) are encapsulated within Infiniband Unreliable
Datagrams, with a four-byte fixed EoIB header (which conveys no actual
information). The Ethernet broadcast domain is provided by a
multicast group, similar to the IPoIB IPv4 multicast group.
The mapping from Ethernet MAC addresses to Infiniband address vectors
is achieved by snooping incoming traffic and building a peer cache
which can then be used to map a MAC address into a port GID. The
address vector is completed using a path record lookup, as for IPoIB.
Note that this requires every packet to include a GRH.
Add basic support for EoIB devices. This driver is substantially
derived from the IPoIB driver. There is currently no mechanism for
automatically creating EoIB devices.

[ipoib] Resimplify test for received broadcast packets
Commit e62e52b ("[ipoib] Simplify test for received broadcast
packets") relies upon the multicast LID being present in the
destination address vector as passed to ipoib_complete_recv().
Unfortunately, this information is not present in many Infiniband
devices' completion queue entries.
Fix by testing instead for the presence of a multicast GID.

ath_rx_init() demonstrates some serious confusion over how to use
pointers, resulting in (uint32_t*)NULL being used as a temporary
variable. This does not end well.
The broken code in question is performing manual alignment of I/O
buffers, which can now be achieved more simply using alloc_iob_raw().
Fix by removing ath_rxbuf_alloc() entirely.

Some protocols (such as ARP) may modify the received packet and re-use
the same I/O buffer for transmission of a reply. The SMSC95XX
transmit header is larger than the receive header: the re-used I/O
buffer therefore does not have sufficient headroom for the transmit
header, and the ARP reply will therefore fail to be transmitted. This
is essentially the same problem as in commit 2e72d10 ("[ncm] Reserve
headroom in received packets").
Fix by reserving sufficient space at the start of each received packet
to allow for the difference between the lengths of the transmit and
receive headers.
This problem is not caught by the current driver development test
suite (documented at http://ipxe.org/dev/driver), since even the large
file transfer tests tend to completely sufficiently quickly that there
is no need for the server to ever send an ARP request. The failure
shows up only when using a very slow protocol such as RFC7440-enhanced
TFTP (as used by Windows Deployment Services).

The LED pins are configured by default as GPIO inputs. While it is
conceivable that a board might actually use these pins as GPIOs, no
such board is known to exist.
The Linux smsc95xx driver configures these pins unconditionally as LED
outputs. Assume that it is safe to do likewise.

[xhci] Ensure that zero-length packets are not part of a TRB chain
Some xHCI controllers (such as qemu's emulated xHCI controller) do not
correctly handle zero-length packets that are part of a TRB chain.
The zero-length TRB ends up being squashed and does not result in a
zero-length packet as seen by the device.
Work around this problem by marking the zero-length packet as
belonging to a separate transfer descriptor.

[usb] Allow additional settling time for out-of-spec hubs
Some hubs (e.g. the Avocent Corp. Virtual Hub on a Lenovo x3550
Integrated Management Module) have been observed to require more than
the standard 200ms for ports to stabilise, with the result that
devices appear to disconnect and immediately reconnect during the
initial bus enumeration.
Work around this problem by allowing specific hubs an extra 500ms of
settling time.

[usb] Record USB device speed separately from current port speed
Record the speed of a USB device based on the port's speed at the time
that the device was enabled. This allows us to remember the device's
speed even after the device has been disconnected (and so the port's
current speed has changed).
In particular, this allows us to correctly identify the transaction
translator for a low-speed or full-speed device after the device has
been disconnected.

[usb] Use port->disconnected to check for disconnected devices
The usb_message() and usb_stream() functions currently check for
port->speed==USB_SPEED_NONE to determine whether or not a device has
been unplugged. This test will give a false negative result if a new
device has been plugged in before the hotplug mechanism has finished
handling the removal of the old device.
Fix by checking instead the port->disconnected flag, which is now
cleared only after completing the removal of the old device.

[smsc95xx] Add driver for SMSC/Microchip LAN95xx USB Ethernet NICs
Tested using QEMU and usbredir to expose the LAN9512 chip present on a
Raspberry Pi.
There is a known issue with the LAN9512: an extra two bytes are
appended to every transmitted packet. These two bytes comprise:
{ 0x00, 0x08 } if packet length == 0 (mod 8)
{ CRC[0], 0x00 } if packet length == 7 (mod 8)
{ CRC[0], CRC[1] } otherwise
The extra bytes are appended whether the Ethernet CRC is generated
manually or added automatically by the hardware. The issue occurs
with the Linux kernel driver as well as the iPXE driver. It appears
to be an undocumented hardware errata.
TCP/IP traffic is not affected, since the IP header length field
causes the extraneous bytes to be discarded by the receiver. However,
protocols that rely on the length of the Ethernet frame (such as FCoE
or iPXE's "lotest" protocol) will be unusable on this hardware.
