Some processes execute only once, and exist solely in order to defer
execution until after the relevant instantiator method has returned.
Such processes do not need to be automatically rescheduled when
executing.

[process] Pass containing object pointer to process step() methods
Give the step() method a pointer to the containing object, rather than
a pointer to the process. This is consistent with the operation of
interface methods, and allows a single function to serve as both an
interface method and a process step() method.

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resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain.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.

[tables] Incorporate table data type information into table definition
Eliminate the potential for mismatches between table names and the
table entry data type by incorporating the data type into the
definition of the table, rather than specifying it explicitly in each
table accessor method.
[tables] Redefine methods for accessing linker tables
Intel's C compiler (icc) chokes on the zero-length arrays that we
currently use as part of the mechanism for accessing linker table
entries. Abstract away the zero-length arrays, to make a port to icc
easier.
Introduce macros such as for_each_table_entry() to simplify the common
case of iterating over all entries in a linker table.
Represent table names as #defined string constants rather than
unquoted literals; this avoids visual confusion between table names
and C variable or type names, and also allows us to force a
compilation error in the event of incorrect table names.
