[netdevice] Allow link layer to report broadcast/multicast packets via pull()
Allow the link layer to directly report whether or not a packet is
multicast or broadcast at the time of calling pull(), rather than
relying on heuristics to determine this at a later stage.

[forcedeth] Never change the NVREG_TRANSMITPOLL_MAC_ADDR_REV flag
iPXE operates the forcedeth NIC in promiscuous mode, and never changes
the unicast MAC address filter registers. We should not therefore set
the flag indicating (to other drivers loaded later) that the MAC
address order has already been corrected.

[forcedeth] Remove software unicast MAC address filter
The forcedeth driver currently implements unicast MAC address
filtering in software. This is almost invariably the wrong thing to
do (since the network stack must already be able to cope with unwanted
packets) and it breaks FCoE (which requires the card to operate in
promiscuous mode).
Also, the implementation is buggy: is_local_ether_addr() is used to
check for a locally-assigned Ethernet address (not to check for a
unicast address), and the current link-layer address is in
netdev->ll_addr, not netdev->hw_addr.
Fix by removing this code.

Restrict network device settings blocks to accepting only DHCP-based

From a cursory examination, it appears as though the calculation of
tx_available is redundant, since eepro_transmit() waits for transmit
completion before returning anyway.

[e1000] Remove unused variable when ICR register is simply cleared
On reset and close, the ICR register is read to clear any pending
interrupts, but the value is simply ignored. Avoid assigning the
value to a variable, to inhibit a warning from gcc 4.6.
Also fix a potential race condition in reset routines which clear
interrupts before disabling them.

In a virtual environment such as qemu, we can legitimately receive
packets less than 64 bytes in length, such as ARP replies. These are
currently discarded, causing most IPv4 communication to fail.
Fix by ignoring the RFDShort bit when receiving packets.

[rtl8139] Check for oversized packets when transmitting
An attempt to transmit a packet of 8192 bytes or larger will collide
with the status bits in the TX descriptor. This gives the appearance
of the network card's transmit data path having just suddenly stopped
responding; iPXE is waiting for the card to report a TX completion
but, because of the status bit collision, the card thinks that the
descriptor has not yet been written.
Fix by explicitly checking for oversized packets in rtl_transmit().
Discovered during Fibre Channel over Ethernet testing, and debugged by
using gdb to examine the state of the emulated rtl8139 card in qemu.
