[netdevice] Report network-layer errors via network device statistics
Errors generated by the network layer in response to received packets
are liable to be lost, since nothing systematically records these
errors and often the packets do not propagate far enough through the
stack to impact upon user-visible processes.
Improve this situation by recording network-layer errors in the
network device statistics.

[block] Replace gPXE block-device API with an iPXE asynchronous interface
The block device interface used in gPXE predates the invention of even
the old gPXE data-transfer interface, let alone the current iPXE
generic asynchronous interface mechanism. Bring this old code up to
date, with the following benefits:
o Block device commands can be cancelled by the requestor. The INT 13
layer uses this to provide a global timeout on all INT 13 calls,
with the result that an unexpected passive failure mode (such as
an iSCSI target ACKing the request but never sending a response)
will lead to a timeout that gets reported back to the INT 13 user,
rather than simply freezing the system.
o INT 13,00 (reset drive) is now able to reset the underlying block
device. INT 13 users, such as DOS, that use INT 13,00 as a method
for error recovery now have a chance of recovering.
o All block device commands are tagged, with a numerical tag that
will show up in debugging output and in packet captures; this will
allow easier interpretation of bug reports that include both
sources of information.
o The extremely ugly hacks used to generate the boot firmware tables
have been eradicated and replaced with a generic acpi_describe()
method (exploiting the ability of iPXE interfaces to pass through
methods to an underlying interface). The ACPI tables are now
built in a shared data block within .bss16, rather than each
requiring dedicated space in .data16.
o The architecture-independent concept of a SAN device has been
exposed to the iPXE core through the sanboot API, which provides
calls to hook, unhook, boot, and describe SAN devices. This
allows for much more flexible usage patterns (such as hooking an
empty SAN device and then running an OS installer via TFTP).

[hermon] Use correct alignment for doorbell records
Doorbell records are currently embedded within the completion queue
and receive work queue strucures, which are allocated using zalloc()
and so have an alignment guarantee of only sizeof(void*), i.e. four
bytes. This is sufficient for the receive work queue, but not for the
completion queue, which requires an alignment guarantee of eight
bytes.
Though not guaranteed, it so happens that zalloc() will always return
a pointer that is exactly four bytes above a sixteen-byte boundary.
The completion queue doorbell record is therefore always misaligned,
and the value passed to the hardware via SW2HW_CQ is actually always
pointing to the page_offset value within the MTT descriptor (which
directly precedes the inline doorbell record). Provided that the page
offset is greater than 0x100, this looks to the hardware like an
update_ci value of greater than 0x010000 (taking into account
endianness differences), and so the hardware will happily deliver more
than 0x010000 completions before stopping. Hence this problem is
rarely observable.
Fix by allocating the doorbell records separately and using the
correct alignment constraints.

[build] Remove unnecessary constraint on DBG_ENABLE()/DBG_DISABLE()
DBG_ENABLE() and DBG_DISABLE() are currently constrained to enabling
and disabling only debug levels that are compiled in for the current
object. For example, a DBG_ENABLE(DBGLVL_EXTRA) in foo.c will not be
able to affect output from other objects at DBGLVL_EXTRA unless foo.c
is itself compiled with DBGLVL_EXTRA enabled.
Partially fix by removing this unnecessary constraint. (Note that it
is still necessary for at least one debug level to be compiled in for
the object invoking DBG_ENABLE()/DBG_DISABLE().)

[rtl8139] Check for oversized packets when transmitting
An attempt to transmit a packet of 8192 bytes or larger will collide
with the status bits in the TX descriptor. This gives the appearance
of the network card's transmit data path having just suddenly stopped
responding; iPXE is waiting for the card to report a TX completion
but, because of the status bit collision, the card thinks that the
descriptor has not yet been written.
Fix by explicitly checking for oversized packets in rtl_transmit().
Discovered during Fibre Channel over Ethernet testing, and debugged by
using gdb to examine the state of the emulated rtl8139 card in qemu.

xfer_window_changed() can be used to notify peers that an interface is

The rtl8139 driver includes the Ethernet CRC within the received

requires the frame length to be correct (since the FCoE footer
position is calculated from the end of the packet), so fix the driver

[xfer] Generalise metadata "whence" field to "flags" field
iPXE has never supported SEEK_END; the usage of "whence" offers only
the options of SEEK_SET and SEEK_CUR and so is effectively a boolean
flag. Further flags will be required to support additional metadata
required by the Fibre Channel network model, so repurpose the "whence"
field as a generic "flags" field.
xfer_seek() has always been used with SEEK_SET, so remove the "whence"
field altogether from its argument list.

[compiler] Prevent empty weak function stubs from being removed
Even with the noinline specifier added by commit 1a260f8, gcc may skip
calls to non-inlinable functions that it knows have no side
effects. This caused the get_cached_dhcpack() call in start_dhcp(),
the weak stub of which has no code in its body, to be removed,
preventing cached DHCP from working.
Fix by adding a __keepme macro to compiler.h expanding to asm(""), as
recommended by gcc's info page, and using it in the weak stub for
get_cached_dhcpack().
