[settings] Make "netX" settings block function as a symbolic link
Add a facility for settings blocks to act as symbolic links to other
settings blocks, and reimplement the "netX" virtual settings block
using this facility.
The primary advantage of this approach is that unscoped settings such
as ${mac} and ${filename} will now reflect the settings obtained from
the most recently opened network device: in most cases, this will mean
the settings obtained from the most recent DHCP attempt. This should
improve conformance to the principle of least astonishment.

[settings] Expose PCI configuration space via settings mechanism
Allow values to be read from PCI configuration space using the syntax
${pci/<busdevfn>.<offset>.<length>}
where <busdevfn> is the bus:dev.fn address of the PCI device
(expressed as a single integer, as returned by ${net0/busloc}),
<offset> is the offset within PCI configuration space, and <length> is
the length within PCI configuration space.
Values are returned in reverse byte order, since PCI configuration
space is little-endian by definition.

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.

Some versions of Linux apparently complain if initrds are not aligned
to a page boundary. Fix by changing INITRD_ALIGN from 4 bytes to 4096
bytes.
The amount of padding at the end of each initrd will now often be
sufficient to allow the cpio header to be prepended without crossing
an alignment boundary. The final location of the initrd may therefore
end up being slightly higher than the post-shuffle location.
bzimage_load_initrd() must therefore now copy the initrd body prior to
copying the cpio header, otherwise the start of the initrd body may be
overwritten by the cpio header. (Note that the guarantee that an
initrd will never need to overwrite an initrd at a higher location
still holds, since the overall length of each initrd cannot decrease
as a result of adding a cpio header.)

RFC2560 mandates that a valid OCSP response will contain exactly one

certificates before the relevant certificate.
Fix by using the responder ID to identify the relevant certificate.

[crypto] Report meaningful error when certificate chain validation fails
If a certificate chain contains no certificate which can be validated
as a standalone certificate (i.e. contains no trusted root
certificates or previously-validated certificates) then iPXE will
currently return a fixed error EACCES_UNTRUSTED. This masks the
actual errors obtained when attempting to validate each certificate as
a standalone certificate, and so makes troubleshooting difficult for
the end user.
Fix by instead returning the error obtained when attempting to
validate the final certificate in the chain as a standalone
certificate. This error is most likely (though not guaranteed) to
represent the "real" problem.

[smbios] Allow access to multiple instances of SMBIOS structures
Extend the syntax for numerical SMBIOS settings from
smbios/<type>.<offset>.<length>
to
smbios/[<instance>.]<type>.<offset>.<length>
Where SMBIOS provides multiple structures with the same <type>, this
extended syntax allows for access to structures other than the first.
If <instance> is omitted then it will default to zero, giving access
to the first instance (and so matching existing behaviour).
The 16-bit SMBIOS handle (which is an alternative way to disambiguate
multiple instances of the same type of structure) can be accessed, if
required, using
smbios/<instance>.<type>.2.2:uint16

[smbios] Allow access to unreferenced SMBIOS strings
iPXE allows access to general SMBIOS settings using the syntax:
smbios/<type>.<offset>.<length>
This provides access to any fixed-offset field within an SMBIOS
structure. This syntax is currently overloaded to interpret a zero
<length> as meaning that the byte at <offset> contains a string index;
this provides access to SMBIOS strings (which are not located at fixed
offsets).
The "OEM Strings" SMBIOS structure contains strings which are not
referenced by any fixed string index field within the structure. iPXE
currently provides no way to access these strings.
Fix by overloading the syntax for numerical SMBIOS settings to
interpret an <offset> of zero as implying that <length> contains a
literal string index. The OEM Strings can then be accessed using:
smbios/11.0.1
smbios/11.0.2
smbios/11.0.3
...
The actual byte at offset zero will always contain the structure type,
which is already known since it must be specified in order to access
the structure. There is thus no plausible existing use case for an
offset of zero; overloading the syntax in this way should therefore
not break compatibility with any existing scripts.
The corner case where both <offset> and <length> are zero is undefined
(and, for now, will simply return a "not found" error).

Some onboard RTL8169 NICs seem to leave the EEPROM pins disconnected.
The existing is_valid_ether_addr() test will not necessarily catch
this, since it expects a missing EEPROM to show up as a MAC address of
00:00:00:00:00:00 or ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. When the EEPROM pins are
floating the MAC address may read as e.g. 00:00:00:00:0f:00, which
will not be detected as invalid.
Check the ID word in the first two bytes of the EEPROM (which should
have the value 0x8129 for all RTL8139 and RTL8169 chips), and use this
to determine whether or not an EEPROM is present.

[netdevice] Use link-layer address as part of RNG seed
iPXE currently seeds the random number generator using the system
timer tick count. When large numbers of machines are booted
simultaneously, multiple machines may end up choosing the same DHCP
transaction ID (XID) value; this can cause problems.
Fix by using the least significant (and hence most variable) bits of
each network device's link-layer address to perturb the random number
generator. This introduces some per-machine unique data into the
random number generator's seed, and so reduces the chances of DHCP XID
collisions.
This does not affect the ANS X9.82-compatible random bit generator
used by TLS and other cryptography code, which uses an entirely
separate source of entropy.
