[int13] Add infrastructure to support EDD version 4.0
Support the extensions mandated by EDD 4.0, including:
o the ability to specify a flat physical address in a disk address
packet,
o the ability to specify a sector count greater than 127 in a disk
address packet,
o support for all functions within the Fixed Disk Access and EDD
Support subsets,
o the ability to describe a device using EDD Device Path Information.
This implementation is based on draft revision 3 of the EDD 4.0
specification, with reference to the EDD 3.0 specification. It is
possible that this implementation may need to change in order to
conform to the final published EDD 4.0 specification.

[block] Replace gPXE block-device API with an iPXE asynchronous interface
The block device interface used in gPXE predates the invention of even
the old gPXE data-transfer interface, let alone the current iPXE
generic asynchronous interface mechanism. Bring this old code up to
date, with the following benefits:
o Block device commands can be cancelled by the requestor. The INT 13
layer uses this to provide a global timeout on all INT 13 calls,
with the result that an unexpected passive failure mode (such as
an iSCSI target ACKing the request but never sending a response)
will lead to a timeout that gets reported back to the INT 13 user,
rather than simply freezing the system.
o INT 13,00 (reset drive) is now able to reset the underlying block
device. INT 13 users, such as DOS, that use INT 13,00 as a method
for error recovery now have a chance of recovering.
o All block device commands are tagged, with a numerical tag that
will show up in debugging output and in packet captures; this will
allow easier interpretation of bug reports that include both
sources of information.
o The extremely ugly hacks used to generate the boot firmware tables
have been eradicated and replaced with a generic acpi_describe()
method (exploiting the ability of iPXE interfaces to pass through
methods to an underlying interface). The ACPI tables are now
built in a shared data block within .bss16, rather than each
requiring dedicated space in .data16.
o The architecture-independent concept of a SAN device has been
exposed to the iPXE core through the sanboot API, which provides
calls to hook, unhook, boot, and describe SAN devices. This
allows for much more flexible usage patterns (such as hooking an
empty SAN device and then running an OS installer via TFTP).

[xfer] Generalise metadata "whence" field to "flags" field
iPXE has never supported SEEK_END; the usage of "whence" offers only
the options of SEEK_SET and SEEK_CUR and so is effectively a boolean
flag. Further flags will be required to support additional metadata
required by the Fibre Channel network model, so repurpose the "whence"
field as a generic "flags" field.
xfer_seek() has always been used with SEEK_SET, so remove the "whence"
field altogether from its argument list.

COM32 binaries generally expect to run with interrupts
enabled. Syslinux does so, and COM32 programs will execute cli/sti
pairs when running a critical section, to provide mutual exclusion
against BIOS interrupt handlers. Previously, under iPXE, the IDT was
not valid, so any interrupt (e.g. a timer tick) would generally cause
the machine to triple fault.
This change introduces code to:
- Create a valid IDT at the same location that syslinux uses
- Create an "interrupt jump buffer", which contains small pieces of
code that simply record the vector number and jump to a common
handler
- Thunk down to real mode and execute the BIOS's interrupt handler
whenever an interrupt is received in a COM32 program
- Switch IDTs and enable/disable interrupts when context switching to
and from COM32 binaries
Testing done:
- Booted VMware ESX using a COM32 multiboot loader (mboot.c32)
- Built with GDBSERIAL enabled, and tested breakpoints on int22 and
com32_irq
- Put the following code in a COM32 program:
asm volatile ( "sti" );
while ( 1 );
Before this change, the machine would triple fault
immediately. After this change, it hangs as expected. Under Bochs,
it is possible to see the interrupt handler run, and the current
time in the BIOS data area gets incremented.

[build] Fix broken build caused by implied dependency upon "perl"
Commit ea12dc0 ("[build] Avoid hard-coding the path to perl")
introduced a build failure for fully clean trees (e.g. after running
"make veryclean"), since the dependency upon $(PARSEROM) now includes
a dependency upon "perl" (which doesn't exist) rather than upon
"/usr/bin/perl" (which does exist).
There should of course be no dependency upon the perl binary at all;
the dependency should be upon "./util/parserom.pl" alone.
Fix by removing the $(PERL) from the definition of Perl-based utility
paths, and adding $(PERL) at the point of usage.

Filter interfaces (as used by the TLS layer) are handled using the

that deliver_raw() no longer exists as a data-xfer method. (In

Microsoft WDS can end up calling PXENV_RESTART_TFTP to execute a
second-stage NBP which then exits. Specifically, wdsnbp.com uses
PXENV_RESTART_TFTP to execute pxeboot.com, which will exit if the user
does not press F12. iPXE currently treats PXENV_RESTART_TFTP as a
normal PXE API call, and so attempts to return to wdsnbp.com, which
has just been vaporised by pxeboot.com.
Use rmsetjmp/rmlongjmp to preserve the stack state as of the initial
NBP execution, and to restore this state immediately prior to
executing the NBP loaded via PXENV_RESTART_TFTP. This matches the
behaviour in the PXE spec (which says that "if TFTP is restarted,
control is never returned to the caller"), and allows pxeboot.com to
exit relatively cleanly back to iPXE.
As with all usage of setjmp/longjmp, there may be subtle corner case
bugs due to not gracefully unwinding any state accumulated by the time
of the longjmp call, but this seems to be the only viable way to
provide the specified behaviour.

[romprefix] Add .mrom format, allowing loading of large ROMs
Add an infrastructure allowing the prefix to provide an open_payload()
method for obtaining out-of-band access to the whole iPXE image. Add
a mechanism within this infrastructure that allows raw access to the
expansion ROM BAR by temporarily borrowing an address from a suitable
memory BAR on the same PCI card.
For cards that have a memory BAR that is at least as large as their
expansion ROM BAR, this allows large iPXE ROMs to be supported even on
systems where PMM fails, or where option ROM space pressure makes it
impossible to use PMM shrinking. The BIOS sees only a stub ROM of
approximately 3kB in size; the remainder (which can be well over 64kB)
is loaded only at the time iPXE is invoked.
As a nice side-effect, an iPXE .mrom image will continue to work even
if its PMM-allocated areas are overwritten between initialisation and
invocation.

[romprefix] Inhibit the use of relocation during POST
It is common for system memory maps to be grotesquely unreliable
during POST. Many sanity checks have been added to the memory map
reading code, but these do not catch all problems.
Skip relocation entirely if called during POST. This should avoid the
problems typically encountered, at the cost of slightly disrupting the
memory map of an operating system booted via iPXE when iPXE was
entered during POST. Since this is a very rare special case (used,
for example, when reflashing an experimental ROM that would otherwise
prevent the system from completing POST), this is an acceptable cost.

[romprefix] Split PMM allocations for image source and decompression area
Some BIOSes (at least some AMI BIOSes) tend to refuse to allocate a
single area large enough to hold both the iPXE image source and the
temporary decompression area, despite promising a largest available
PMM memory block of several megabytes. This causes ROM image
shrinking to fail on these BIOSes, with undesirable consequences:
other option ROMs may be disabled due to shortage of option ROM space,
and the iPXE ROM may itself be corrupted by a further BIOS bug (again,
observed on an AMI BIOS) which causes large ROMs to end up overlapping
reserved areas of memory. This can potentially render a system
unbootable via any means.
Increase the chances of a successful PMM allocation by dropping the
alignment requirement (which is redundant now that we can enable A20
from within the prefix); this allows us to reduce the allocation size
from 2MB down to only the required size.
Increase the chances still further by using two separate allocations:
one to hold the image source (i.e. the copy of the ROM before being
shrunk) and the other to act as the decompression area. This allows
ROM image shrinking to take place even on systems that fail to
allocate enough memory for the temporary decompression area.
Improve the behaviour of iPXE in systems with multiple iPXE ROMs by
sharing PMM allocations where possible. Image source areas can be
shared with any iPXE ROMs with a matching build identifier, and the
temporary decompression area can be shared with any iPXE ROMs with the
same uncompressed size (rounded up to the nearest 128kB).
