as a result of our memory map editing, so strip out any empty regions.

Allow our functions to return a non-zero, non-error status (since the
INT 13 Extensions Check has to return the API version in the register
that is otherwise always used for the error code).

Report a non-zero API version from the INT 13 Extensions Check; GRUB

elegant, but it works).

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).

This is the core portion of the async I/O interface.

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()).

retransmission mechanism) without requiring each protocol to implement its
own individual retry logic.  Eventually, we should be able to use the same
timer code for TCP retransmissions as well.
