Provide a single instance of EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL (attached to
our image handle); this matches the expectations scattered throughout
the EFI specification.
Open the underlying hardware device using EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_BY_DRIVER
and EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_EXCLUSIVE, to prevent other drivers from
attaching to the same device.
Do not automatically connect to devices when being loaded as a driver;
leave this task to the platform firmware (or to the user, if loading
directly from the EFI shell).
When running as an application, forcibly disconnect any existing
drivers from devices that we want to control, and reconnect them on
exit.
Provide a meaningful driver version number (based on the build
timestamp), to allow platform firmware to automatically load newer
versions of iPXE drivers if multiple drivers are present.
Include device paths within debug messages where possible, to aid in
debugging.

Exploit the redefinition of iPXE error codes to include a "platform
error code" to allow for meaningful conversion of EFI_STATUS values to
iPXE errors and vice versa.

[efi] Mark SNP devices as children of EFI PCI device
Re-open the EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL specifying an Attributes value of
EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_BY_CHILD_CONTROLLER. This causes the SNP devices to
be marked as children of the EFI PCI device (as shown in the "devtree"
command).
On at least one IBM blade system, this is required in order to have
the relevant drivers automatically attach to the SNP controller at
device creation time.

EFI performs its own PCI bus enumeration. Respect this, and start
controlling devices only when instructed to do so by EFI.
As a side benefit, we should now correctly create multiple SNP
instances for multi-port devices.
This should also fix the problem of failing to enumerate devices
because the PCI bridges have not yet been enabled at the time the iPXE
driver is loaded.

Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated
resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain. Work
around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and
updating URLs to match.
Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.

[efi] Add EFI image format and basic runtime environment
We have EFI APIs for CPU I/O, PCI I/O, timers, console I/O, user
access and user memory allocation.
EFI executables are created using the vanilla GNU toolchain, with the
EXE header handcrafted in assembly and relocations generated by a
custom efilink utility.
