Add user access API for linux.
On linux userspace virtual == user == phys addresses. Physical
addresses also being the same is wrong, but there is no general way of
converting userspace addresses to physical as what appears to be
contiguous in userspace is physically fragmented. Currently only the
DMA memory is special-cased, but its conversion to bus addresses is
done in phys_to_bus. This is known to break virtio as it is passing
phys addresses to the virtual device.

[build] Properly handle multiple goals per BIN directory
When building multiple targets per BIN with multiple jobs, for
example:
make -j16 bin-i386-efi/ipxe.efi{,drv,rom} bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi{,drv,rom}
we would invoke a make subprocess for each goal in parallel resulting
in multiple makes running in a single BIN directory. Fix by grouping
goals per BIN directory and invoking only one make per BIN. It is
both safer and faster.

The "dhcp" command now accepts a list of interfaces to try until one
succeeds. For example:
iPXE> dhcp net0 net1 net2
If no interfaces are specified, all interfaces will be tried.
Note that interfaces that fail to DHCP are closed in order to avoid
memory exhaustion. This behavior differs from the previous "dhcp"
command implementation but should not affect any existing scripts
since a "dhcp" command failure would in any case cause the script to
abort.

COM32 binaries generally expect to run with interrupts
enabled. Syslinux does so, and COM32 programs will execute cli/sti
pairs when running a critical section, to provide mutual exclusion
against BIOS interrupt handlers. Previously, under iPXE, the IDT was
not valid, so any interrupt (e.g. a timer tick) would generally cause
the machine to triple fault.
This change introduces code to:
- Create a valid IDT at the same location that syslinux uses
- Create an "interrupt jump buffer", which contains small pieces of
code that simply record the vector number and jump to a common
handler
- Thunk down to real mode and execute the BIOS's interrupt handler
whenever an interrupt is received in a COM32 program
- Switch IDTs and enable/disable interrupts when context switching to
and from COM32 binaries
Testing done:
- Booted VMware ESX using a COM32 multiboot loader (mboot.c32)
- Built with GDBSERIAL enabled, and tested breakpoints on int22 and
com32_irq
- Put the following code in a COM32 program:
asm volatile ( "sti" );
while ( 1 );
Before this change, the machine would triple fault
immediately. After this change, it hangs as expected. Under Bochs,
it is possible to see the interrupt handler run, and the current
time in the BIOS data area gets incremented.

[forcedeth] Replace driver with native iPXE driver
This patch adds a native iPXE forcedeth driver and removes the legacy
Etherboot forcedeth driver. It supports 40 different chips, compared
to the original 14.
It has been tested on a NIC with an CK804 Ethernet Controller, and the
results of downloading 5 100mb images in a row have been:
12/11/11/11/11 seconds; booting DSL using pxelinux also succeeded. The

Currently, if elf2efi.c is compiled using a 32-bit HOST_CC, then the
resulting elf2efi64 binary will generate 32-bit EFI binaries instead
of 64-bit EFI binaries.
The problem is that elf2efi.c uses the MDE_CPU_* definitions to decide
whether to output a 32-bit or 64-bit PE binary. However, MDE_CPU_*
gets defined in ProcessorBind.h, depending on the compiler's target
architecture. Overriding them on the command line doesn't work in the
expected way, and you can end up in cases where both MDE_CPU_IA32 and
MDE_CPU_X64 are defined.
Fix by using a separate definition, EFI_TARGET_IA32/EFI_TARGET_X64,
which is specified only on the command line.

[virtio] Replace virtio-net with native iPXE driver
This patch adds a native iPXE virtio-net driver and removes the legacy
Etherboot virtio-net driver. The main reasons for doing this are:
1. Multiple virtio-net NICs are now supported by iPXE. The legacy
driver kept global state and caused issues in virtual machines with
more than one virtio-net device.
2. Faster downloads. The native iPXE driver downloads 100 MB over
HTTP in 12s, the legacy Etherboot driver in 37s. This simple
benchmark uses KVM with tap networking and the Python
SimpleHTTPServer both running on the same host.
Changes to core virtio code reduce vring descriptors to 256 (QEMU uses
128 for virtio-blk and 256 for virtio-net) and change the opaque token
from u16 to void*. Lowering the descriptor count reduces memory
consumption. The void* opaque token change makes driver code simpler.

[tcp] Treat ACKs as sent only when successfully transmitted
iPXE currently forces sending (i.e. sends a pure ACK even in the
absence of fresh data to send) only in response to packets that
consume sequence space or that lie outside of the receive window.
This ignores the possibility that a previous ACK was not actually sent
(due to, for example, the retransmission timer running).
This does not cause incorrect behaviour, but does cause unnecessary
retransmissions from our peer. For example:
1. Peer sends final data packet (ack 106 seq 521..523)
2. We send FIN (seq 106..107 ack 523)
3. Peer sends FIN (ack 106 seq 523..524)
4. We send nothing since retransmission timer is running for our FIN
5. Peer ACKs our FIN (ack 107 seq 524..524)
6. We send nothing since this packet consumes no sequence space
7. Peer retransmits FIN (ack 107 seq 523..524)
8. We ACK peer's FIN (seq 107..107 ack 524)
What should happen at step (6) is that we should ACK the peer's FIN,
since we can deduce that we have never sent this ACK.
Fix by maintaining an "ACK pending" flag that is set whenever we are
made aware that our peer needs an ACK (whether by consuming sequence
space or by sending a packet that appears out of order), and is
cleared only when the ACK packet has been transmitted.

[tcp] Use a dedicated timer for the TIME_WAIT state
iPXE currently repurposes the retransmission timer to hold the TCP
connection in the TIME_WAIT state (i.e. waiting for up to 2*MSL in
case we are required to re-ACK our peer's FIN due to a lost ACK).
However, the fact that this timer is running will prevent such an ACK
from ever being sent, since the logic in tcp_xmit() assumes that a
running timer indicates that we ourselves are waiting for an ACK and
so blocks the transmission. (We always wait for an ACK before sending
our next packet, to keep our transmit data path as simple as
possible.)
Fix by using an entirely separate timer for the TIME_WAIT state, so
that packets can still be sent.

foo_DEPS) and rules_template (which handles the rules referencing

required to rebuild after a "make veryclean" by around 3%.
