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.

Commit ea12dc0 ("[build] Avoid hard-coding the path to perl")

There should of course be no dependency upon the perl binary at all;
the dependency should be upon "./util/parserom.pl" alone.

[interface] Allow for non-pass-through interface methods
xfer_vredirect() should not be allowed to propagate to a pass-through
interface. For example, when an HTTPS connection is opened, the
redirect message should cause the TLS layer to reopen the TCP socket,
rather than causing the HTTP layer to disconnect from the TLS layer.
Fix by allowing for non-pass-through interface methods, and setting
xfer_vredirect() to be one such method.
This is slightly ugly, in that it complicates the notion of an
interface method call by adding a "pass-through" / "non-pass-through"
piece of metadata. However, the only current user of xfer_vredirect()
is iscsi.c, which uses it only because we don't yet have an
ioctl()-style call for retrieving the underlying socket address.
The new interface infrastructure allows for such a call to be created,
at which time this sole user of xfer_vredirect() can be removed,
xfer_vredirect() can cease to be an interface method and become simply
a wrapper around xfer_vreopen(), and the concept of a non-pass-through
interface method can be reverted.

instances within the current codebase where xfer_deliver_raw() is used
to pass data to an interface supporting the deliver_raw() method.)

[interface] Expand object interface to allow for polymorphic interfaces
We have several types of object interface at present (data-xfer, job
control, name resolution), and there is some duplication of
functionality between them. For example, job_done(), job_kill() and
xfer_close() are almost isomorphic to each other.
This updated version of the object interface mechanism allows for each
interface to export an arbitrary list of supported operations.
Advantages include:
Operations methods now receive a pointer to the object, rather than
a pointer to the interface. This allows an object to, for example,
implement a single close() method that can handle close() operations
from any of its exposed interfaces.
The close() operation is implemented as a generic operation (rather
than having specific variants for data-xfer, job control, etc.).
This will allow functions such as monojob_wait() to be used to wait
for e.g. a name resolution to complete.
The amount of boilerplate code required in objects is reduced, not
least because it is no longer necessary to include per-interface
methods that simply use container_of() to derive a pointer to the
object and then tail-call to a common per-object method.
The cost of adding new operations is reduced; adding a new data-xfer
operation such as stat() no longer incurs the penalty of adding a
.stat member to the operations table of all existing data-xfer
interfaces.
The data-xfer, job control and name resolution interfaces have not yet
been updated to use the new interface mechanism, but the code will
still compile and run.
