[settings] Clarify usage of the term "named setting"
There are currently two conflicting usages of the term "named setting"
within iPXE: one refers to predefined settings (such as show up in the
"config" UI), the other refers to settings identified by a name (such
as "net0.dhcp/ip").
Split these usages into the term "predefined setting" and "named
setting" to avoid ambiguity.

gcc 4.8 and 4.9 fail to compile pxe_call.c with the error "bp cannot
be used in asm here". Other points in the codebase which use "ebp" in
the asm clobber list do not seem to be affected.
Unfortunately gcc provides no way to specify %ebp as an output
register, so we cannot use this as a workaround. The only viable
solution is to explicitly push/pop %ebp within the asm itself. This
is ugly for two reasons: firstly, it may be unnecessary; secondly, it
may cause gcc to generate invalid %esp-relative addresses if the asm
happens to use memory operands. This specific block of asm uses no
memory operands and so will not generate invalid code.

[tftp] Allow TFTP block size to be controlled via the PXE TFTP API
The PXE TFTP API allows the caller to request a particular TFTP block
size. Since mid-2008, iPXE has appended a "?blksize=xxx" parameter to
the TFTP URI constructed internally; nothing has ever parsed this
parameter. Nobody seems to have cared that this parameter has been
ignored for almost five years.
Fix by using xfer_window(), which provides a fairly natural way to
convey the block size information from the PXE TFTP API to the TFTP
protocol layer.

[ipoib] Expose Ethernet-compatible eIPoIB link-layer addresses and headers
Almost all clients of the raw-packet interfaces (UNDI and SNP) can
handle only Ethernet link layers. Expose an Ethernet-compatible link
layer to local clients, while remaining compatible with IPoIB on the
wire. This requires manipulation of ARP (but not DHCP) packets within
the IPoIB driver.
This is ugly, but it's the only viable way to allow IPoIB devices to
be driven via the raw-packet interfaces.

[console] Allow usage to be defined independently for each console
Add the concept of a "console usage", such as "standard output" or
"debug messages". Allow usages to be associated with each console
independently. For example, to send debugging output via the serial
port, while preventing it from appearing on the local console:
#define CONSOLE_SERIAL CONSOLE_USAGE_ALL
#define CONSOLE_PCBIOS ( CONSOLE_USAGE_ALL & ~CONSOLE_USAGE_DEBUG )
If no usages are explicitly specified, then a default set of usages
will be applied. For example:
#define CONSOLE_SERIAL
will have the same affect as
#define CONSOLE_SERIAL CONSOLE_USAGE_ALL

[image] Simplify image management commands and internal API
Remove the name, cmdline, and action parameters from imgdownload() and
imgdownload_string(). These functions now simply download and return
an image.
Add the function imgacquire(), which will interpret a "name or URI
string" parameter and return either an existing image or a newly
downloaded image.
Use imgacquire() to merge similar image-management commands that
currently differ only by whether they take the name of an existing
image or the URI of a new image to download. For example, "chain" and
"imgexec" can now be merged.
Extend imgstat and imgfree commands to take an optional list of
images.
Remove the arbitrary restriction on the length of image names.

The RTC-based entropy source uses the nanosecond-scale CPU TSC to
measure the time between two 1kHz interrupts generated by the CMOS
RTC. In a physical machine these clocks are driven from independent
crystals, resulting in some observable clock drift. In a virtual
machine, the CMOS RTC is typically emulated using host-OS
constructions such as SIGALRM.

[pxe] Provide PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK only for ipxelinux.0 builds
PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK is designed to allow ipxelinux.0 to unload both
the iPXE and pxelinux components without affecting the underlying PXE
stack. Unfortunately, it causes unexpected behaviour in other
situations, such as when loading a non-embedded pxelinux.0 via
undionly.kpxe. For example:
PXE ROM -> undionly.kpxe -> pxelinux.0 -> chain.c32 to boot hd0
would cause control to return to iPXE instead of booting from the hard
disk. In some cases, this would result in a harmless but confusing
"No more network devices" message; in other cases stranger things
would happen, such as being returned to the iPXE shell prompt.
The fundamental problem is that when pxelinux detects
PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK, it may attempt to specify an exit hook and then
exit back to iPXE, assuming that iPXE will in turn exit cleanly via
the specified exit hook. This is not a valid assumption in the
general case, since the action of exiting back to iPXE does not
directly cause iPXE to exit itself. (In the specific case of
ipxelinux.0, this will work since the embedded script exits as soon as
pxelinux.0 exits.)
Fix the unexpected behaviour in the non-ipxelinux.0 cases by including
support for PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK only when using a new .kkkpxe format.
The ipxelinux.0 build process should therefore now use undionly.kkkpxe
instead of undionly.kkpxe.
