[tcpip] Add faster algorithm for calculating the TCP/IP checksum
The generic TCP/IP checksum implementation requires approximately 10
CPU clocks per byte (as measured using the TSC). Improve this to
approximately 0.5 CPU clocks per byte by using "lodsl ; adcl" in an
unrolled loop.

The "rep" prefix can be used with an iteration count of zero, which
allows the variable-length memcpy() to be implemented without using
any conditional jumps.

[crypto] Add big-integer library for RSA calculations
RSA requires modular exponentiation using arbitrarily large integers.
Given the sizes of the modulus and exponent, all required calculations
can be done without any further dynamic storage allocation. The x86
architecture allows for efficient large integer support via inline
assembly using the instructions that take advantage of the carry flag
(e.g. "adcl", "rcrl").
This implemention is approximately 80% smaller than the (more generic)
AXTLS implementation.

[pci] Use single "busdevfn" field in struct pci_device
Merge the "bus" and "devfn" fields into a single "busdevfn" field, to
match the format used by the majority of external code.

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resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain.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

[x86_64] Add support for compilation as an x86_64 binary
Currently the only supported platform for x86_64 is EFI.
Building an EFI64 gPXE requires a version of gcc that supports
__attribute__((ms_abi)). This currently means a development build of
gcc; the feature should be present when gcc 4.4 is released.
In the meantime; you can grab a suitable gcc tree from
git://git.etherboot.org/scm/people/mcb30/gcc/.git
