[ethernet] Use standard 1500 byte MTU unless explicitly overridden
Devices that support jumbo frames will currently default to the
largest possible MTU. This assumption is valid for virtual adapters
such as virtio-net, where the MTU must have been configured by a
system administrator, but is unsafe in the general case of a physical
adapter.
Default to the standard Ethernet MTU, unless explicitly overridden
either by the driver or via the ${netX/mtu} setting.

Since we don't enable IOMMU at all, we can then simply enable the
IOMMU support by claiming the support of VIRITO_F_IOMMU_PLATFORM.
This fixes booting failure when iommu_platform is set from qemu cli.

[virtio] Use separate RX and TX empty header buffers
Some host implementations (notably Google Compute Platform) are known
to unconditionally write back VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID to
header->flags for received packets, regardless of the features
negotiated by the driver. This breaks the transmit datapath by
effectively setting an illegal flag for all subsequent transmitted
packets.
Work around this problem by using separate empty header buffers for
the receive and transmit queues.

Virtio 0.9 implementation was limited to the maximum virtqueue size of
MAX_QUEUE_NUM and the virtio-net driver would fail to initialize on hosts
exceeding this limit.
This commit lifts the restriction by allocating the queue memory based on
the actual queue size instead of using a fixed maximum. Note that virtio
1.0 still uses the MAX_QUEUE_NUM constant to cap the size (unfortunately
this functionality is not available in virtio 0.9).

This commit introduces virtnet_free_virtqueues called on all virtqueue

and instead expects virtnet_free_virtqueues to be always called to undo
its effect.

This commit makes virtio-net support devices with VEN 0x1af4 and DEV
0x1041, which is how non-transitional (modern-only) virtio-net devices
are exposed on the PCI bus.
Transitional devices supporting both the old 0.9.5 and new 1.0 version
of the virtio spec are driven using the new protocol. Legacy devices
are driven using the old protocol, same as before this commit.

This commit adds support for driving virtio 1.0 PCI devices. In
addition to various helpers, a number of vpm_ functions are introduced
to be used instead of their legacy vp_ counterparts when accessing
virtio 1.0 (aka modern) devices.

[virtio] Replace virtio-net with native iPXE driver
This patch adds a native iPXE virtio-net driver and removes the legacy
Etherboot virtio-net driver. The main reasons for doing this are:
1. Multiple virtio-net NICs are now supported by iPXE. The legacy
driver kept global state and caused issues in virtual machines with
more than one virtio-net device.
2. Faster downloads. The native iPXE driver downloads 100 MB over
HTTP in 12s, the legacy Etherboot driver in 37s. This simple
benchmark uses KVM with tap networking and the Python
SimpleHTTPServer both running on the same host.
Changes to core virtio code reduce vring descriptors to 256 (QEMU uses
128 for virtio-blk and 256 for virtio-net) and change the opaque token
from u16 to void*. Lowering the descriptor count reduces memory
consumption. The void* opaque token change makes driver code simpler.

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.

The virtnet_transmit() logic for waiting the packet to be transmitted is
reversed: we can't wait the packet to be transmitted if we didn't kick()
the ring yet. The vring_more_used() while loop logic is reversed also,
that explains why the code works today.
The current code risks trying to free a buffer from the used ring
when none was available, that will happen most times because KVM
doesn't handle the packet immediately on kick(). Luckily it was working
because it was unlikely to have a buffer still queued for transmit when
virtnet_transmit() was called.
Also, adds a BUG_ON() to vring_get_buf(), to catch cases where we try
to free a buffer from the used ring when there was none available.
Patch for Etherboot. gPXE has the same problem on the code, but I hadn't
a chance to test gPXE using virtio-net yet.
