[efi] Poll for TX completions only when there is an outstanding TX buffer
At least one NII implementation (in a Microsoft Surface tablet) seems
to fail to report the absence (sic) of TX completions properly. Work
around this by checking for TX completions only when we expect to see
one.

[xhci] Support USB1 devices attached via transaction translators
xHCI provides a somewhat convoluted mechanism for specifying details
of a transaction translator. Hubs must be marked as such in the
device slot context. The only opportunity to do so is as part of a
Configure Endpoint command, which can be executed only when opening
the hub's interrupt endpoint.
We add a mechanism for host controllers to intercept the opening of
hub devices, providing xHCI with an opportunity to update the internal
device slot structure for the corresponding USB device to indicate
that the device is a hub. We then include the hub-specific details in
the input context whenever any Configure Endpoint command is issued.
When a device is opened, we record the device slot and port for its
transaction translator (if any), and supply these as part of the
Address Device command.

[ehci] Support USB1 devices attached via transaction translators
Support low-speed and full-speed devices attached to a USB2 hub. Such
devices use a transaction translator (TT) within the USB2 hub, which
asynchronously initiates transactions on the lower-speed bus and
returns the result via a split completion on the high-speed bus.
We make the simplifying assumption that there will never be more than
sixteen active interrupt endpoints behind a single transaction
translator; this assumption allows us to schedule all periodic start
splits in microframe 0 and all periodic split completions in
microframes 2 and 3. (We do not handle isochronous endpoints.)

[usb] Reset endpoints without waiting for a new transfer to be enqueued
The current endpoint reset logic defers the reset until the caller
attempts to enqueue a new transfer to that endpoint. This is
insufficient when dealing with endpoints behind a transaction
translator, since the transaction translator is a resource shared
between multiple endpoints.
We cannot reset the endpoint as part of the completion handling, since
that would introduce recursive calls to usb_poll(). Instead, we
add the endpoint to a list of halted endpoints, and perform the reset
on the next call to usb_step().

The endpoint may already have enqueued TRBs at the time that

Several of the USB timeouts were chosen on the principle of "pick an
arbitrary but ridiculously large value, just to be safe". It turns
out that some of the timeouts permitted by the USB specification are
even larger: for example, control transactions are allowed to take up
to five seconds to complete.
Fix up these USB timeout values to match those found in the USB2
specification.

[xhci] Do not release ownership back to BIOS when booting an OS
xHCI (and EHCI) nominally provide a mechanism for releasing ownership
of the host controller back to the BIOS, which can then potentially
restore legacy USB keyboard functionality.
This is a rarely used code path, since most operating systems claim
ownership and never attempt to later return to the BIOS. On some
systems (observed with a Lenovo X1 Carbon), this code path leads to
obscure and interesting bugs: if the xHCI and EHCI controllers are
both claimed and later released back to the BIOS, then a subsequent
call to INT 16,0305 to set the keyboard repeat rate to a non-default
value will lock the system.
Obscure though this sequence of operations may sound, it is exactly
what happens when using iPXE to boot a Linux kernel via a USB network
card. There is old and probably unwanted code in Linux's
arch/x86/boot/main.c which sets the keyboard repeat rate (with the
accompanying comment "Set keyboard repeat rate (why?)"). When booting
Linux via a USB network card on a Lenovo X1 Carbon, the system
therefore locks up immediately after jumping to the kernel's entry
point.
Work around this problem by preventing the release of ownership back
to the BIOS if it is known that we are shutting down to boot an OS.
This should allow legacy USB keyboard functionality to be restored if
the user chooses to exit iPXE, while avoiding the rarely used code
paths (and corresponding BIOS bugs) if the user chooses instead to
boot an OS.

[smsc75xx] Move RX FIFO overflow message to DBGLVL_EXTRA
RX FIFO overflow is almost inevitable since the (usable) USB2 bus
bandwidth is approximately one quarter of the Ethernet bandwidth.
Avoid flooding the console with RX FIFO overflow messages in a
standard debug build.
With TCP SACK implemented, the RX FIFO overflow no longer causes a
catastrophic drop in throughput. Experimentation shows that HTTP
downloads now progress at a fairly smooth 250Mbps, which is around the
maximum speed attainable for a USB2 NIC.

[smsc75xx] Add driver for SMSC/Microchip LAN75xx USB Ethernet NICs
This driver is functional but any downloads via a TCP-based protocol
tend to perform poorly. The 1Gbps Ethernet line rate is substantially
higher than the 480Mbps (in practice around 280Mbps) provided by USB2,
and the device has only 32kB of internal buffer memory. Our 256kB TCP
receive window therefore rapidly overflows the RX FIFO, leading to
multiple dropped packets (usually within the same TCP window) and
hence a low overall throughput.
Reducing the TCP window size so that the RX FIFO does not overflow
greatly increases throughput, but is not a general-purpose solution.
Further investigation is required to determine how other OSes
(e.g. Linux) cope with this scenario. It is possible that
implementing TCP SACK would provide some benefit.

Most devices expose at least the link up/down status via a bit in a
MAC register, since the MAC generally already needs to know whether or
not the link is up. Some devices (e.g. the SMSC75xx USB NIC) expose
this information to software only via the MII registers.
Provide a generic mii_check_link() implementation to check the BMSR
and report the link status via netdev_link_{up,down}().

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.

If the Disable Slot command fails then the hardware may continue to
write to the slot context. Leak the memory used by the slot context
to avoid future memory corruption.
This situation has been observed in practice when a Set Address

Note that there is no need to similarly leak memory on the failure
path in xhci_device_open(), since in the event of a failure the
hardware is never informed of the slot context address.

[usb] Handle port status changes received after failing to find a driver
Commit a60f2dd ("[usb] Try multiple USB device configurations")
changed the behaviour of register_usb() such that if no drivers are
found then the device will be closed and the memory used will be
freed.
If a port status change subsequently occurs while the device is still
physically attached, then usb_hotplug() will see this as a new device
having been attached, since there is no device recorded as being
currently attached to the port. This can lead to spurious hotplug
events (or even endless loops of hotplug events, if the process of
opening and closing the device happens to generate a port status
change).
Fix by using a separate flag to indicate that a device is physically
attached (even if we have no corresponding struct usb_device).
