The userptr_t is now the fundamental type that gets used for conversions.
For example, virt_to_phys() is implemented in terms of virt_to_user() and
user_to_phys().

We now have two implementations for the timer API: one using the
time-of-day counter at 40:70 and one using RDTSC.  Both make use of
timer2_udelay().

Reduce the number of sections within the linker script to match the
number of practical sections within the output file.

Define _section, _msection, _esection, _section_filesz, _section_memsz,
and _section_lma for each section, replacing the mixture of symbols that
previously existed.

In particular, replace _text and _end with _textdata and _etextdata, to
make it explicit within code that uses these symbols that the .text and
.data sections are always treated as a single contiguous block.

gcc should (I think) be warning about this anyway, but seems to do so
only when assertions are enabled for this object.

Use as "call dump_regs" from any real-mode code within .text16.
Should preserve all registers and flags.

If the INT 15,e820 memory map reports a region [0,0), this confuses
the "truncate to even megabytes" logic, which ends up rounding the
region 'down' to [0,fff00000).

Fix by ensuring that the region's end address is at least 1, before we
subtract 1 to obtain the "last byte in region" address.

Allow for an arbitrary number of splits of the system memory map via
INT 15,e820.

Features of the new map-mangling algorithm include:

  Supports random access to e820 map entries.

  Requires only sequential access support from the underlying e820
  map, even if our caller uses random access.

  Empty regions will always be stripped.

  Always terminates with %ebx=0, even if the underlying map terminates
  with CF=1.

  Allows for an arbitrary number of hidden regions, with underlying
  regions split into as many subregions as necessary.

Total size increase to achieve this is 193 bytes.

When the 16-bit segment registers are accessed using 32-bit instructions
the high order bytes are undefined on older CPUs.  We now explicitly
zero the high order bytes when snapshotting the CPU state.  This ensures
that the GDB stub reports consistent values for the segment registers.

See http://etherboot.org/wiki/dev/gdbstub for documentation.

The GDBSYM config.h option was an attempt at QEMU GDB debugging.  I have
removed the code since it is unused and may confuse people wanting to
use the GDB stub.

	Timer subsystem initialization code in core/timer.c

	Split the BIOS and RTDSC timer drivers from i386_timer.c

	Split arch/i386/firmware/pcbios/bios.c into the RTSDC
	timer driver and arch/i386/core/nap.c

	Split the headers properly:
		include/unistd.h - delay functions to be used by the
					gPXE core and drivers.

		include/gpxe/timer.h - the fimer subsystem interface
					to be used by the timer drivers
					and currticks() to be used by
					the code gPXE subsystems.

		include/latch.h	- removed
		include/timer.h - scheduled for removal. Some driver
					are using currticks, which is
					only for core subsystems.

This reverts commit 373022108b.

Experimentation reveals that gcc ignores -mrtd for the implicit
arithmetic functions (e.g. __udivdi3), but not for the implicit
memcpy() and memset() functions.  Mark the implicit arithmetic
functions with __attribute__((cdecl)) to compensate for this.

(Note: we cannot mark with with __cdecl, because we define __cdecl to
incorporate regparm(0) as well.)

This reverts commit 9e7b165017.
