[autoboot] Use next-server from filename's settings block
Locate the settings block containing the filename, and search only
that settings block for the next-server address. This avoids problems
caused by misconfigured DHCP servers which provide a next-server
address (often defaulting to the DHCP server's own IP address) even
when not providing a filename.

[ipoib] Expose Ethernet-compatible eIPoIB link-layer addresses and headers
Almost all clients of the raw-packet interfaces (UNDI and SNP) can
handle only Ethernet link layers. Expose an Ethernet-compatible link
layer to local clients, while remaining compatible with IPoIB on the
wire. This requires manipulation of ARP (but not DHCP) packets within
the IPoIB driver.
This is ugly, but it's the only viable way to allow IPoIB devices to
be driven via the raw-packet interfaces.

[crypto] Allow certificate chains to be long-lived data structures
At present, certificate chain validation is treated as an
instantaneous process that can be carried out using only data that is
already in memory. This model does not allow for validation to
include non-instantaneous steps, such as downloading a cross-signing
certificate, or determining certificate revocation status via OCSP.
Redesign the internal representation of certificate chains to allow
chains to outlive the scope of the original source of certificates
(such as a TLS Certificate record).
Allow for certificates to be cached, so that each certificate needs to
be validated only once.

[netdevice] Allow network device to update link state before checking

[image] Simplify image management commands and internal API
Remove the name, cmdline, and action parameters from imgdownload() and
imgdownload_string(). These functions now simply download and return
an image.
Add the function imgacquire(), which will interpret a "name or URI
string" parameter and return either an existing image or a newly
downloaded image.
Use imgacquire() to merge similar image-management commands that
currently differ only by whether they take the name of an existing
image or the URI of a new image to download. For example, "chain" and
"imgexec" can now be merged.
Extend imgstat and imgfree commands to take an optional list of
images.
Remove the arbitrary restriction on the length of image names.

Trusted images may always be executed. Untrusted images may be
executed only if the current image trust requirement allows untrusted
images.
Images can be marked as trusted using image_trust(), and marked as
untrusted using image_untrust().
The current image trust requirement can be changed using
image_set_trust(). It is possible to make the change permanent, in
which case any future attempts to change the image trust requirement
will fail.

Refactor the {load,exec} image operations as {probe,exec}. This makes
the probe mechanism cleaner, eliminates some forward declarations,
avoids holding magic state in image->priv, eliminates the possibility
of screwing up between the "load" and "exec" stages, and makes the
documentation simpler since the concept of "loading" (as distinct from
"executing") no longer needs to be explained.

[autoboot] Allow a SAN boot as a fallback if a filename boot returns
Currently, if both a filename and root-path are present, iPXE will
hook the SAN device but will only attempt to boot from the filename.
Change this behaviour so that both are attempted. Users who want to
avoid booting from the SAN as a fallback can do so via the existing
"skip-san-boot" setting.
This allows for seamless deployment to a SAN target using Windows
Deployment Services (and similar products). A user simply has to
define the root-path option in DHCP and then use WDS to deploy the
system. No further configuration should be required.

[autoboot] Connect SAN disk during a filename boot, if applicable
For performing installations direct to a SAN target, it can be very
useful to hook a SAN disk and then proceed to perform a filename boot.
For example, the user may wish to hook the (empty) SAN installation
disk and then boot into the OS installer via TFTP. This provides an
alternative mechanism to using "keep-san" and relying on the BIOS to
fall through to boot from the installation media, which is unreliable
on many BIOSes.
When a root-path is specified in addition to a boot filename, attempt
to hook the root-path as a SAN disk before booting from the specified
filename. Since the root-path may be used for non-SAN purposes
(e.g. an NFS root mount point), ignore the root-path if it contains a
URI scheme that we do not support.

[dhcp] Use Ethernet-compatible chaddr, if possible
For IPoIB, we currently use the hardware address (i.e. the eight-byte
GUID) as the DHCP chaddr. This works, but some PXE servers (notably
Altiris RDP) refuse to respond if the chaddr field is anything other
than six bytes in length.
We already have the notion of an Ethernet-compatible link-layer
address, which is used in the iBFT (the design of which similarly
fails to account for non-Ethernet link layers). Use this as the first
preferred alternative to the actual link-layer address when
constructing the DHCP chaddr field.

[autoboot] Merge "netboot" command into "autoboot"
Allow "autoboot" to accept an optional list of network devices, and

The "netboot" command has existed for approximately 48 hours, so its
removal should not cause backwards compatibility issues for anyone.

For some install-to-SAN scenarios, the OS needs to be able to reboot
to reread the partition table. On this second boot attempt, the SAN
disk will not be empty and so iPXE will attempt to boot from it,
rather than falling back to the OS' installation media.
Work around this problem by introducing the "skip-san-boot" option,
similar in spirit to "keep-san".
