[libflat] Test A20 gate without switching to flat real mode
Use the real-mode address ffff:0010 to access the linear address
0x100000, and so test whether or not the A20 gate is enabled without
requiring a switch into flat real mode (or some other addressing
mode).
This speeds up CPU mode transitions, and also avoids breaking the NBP
from IBM's Tivoli Provisioning Manager for Operating System
Deployment. This NBP makes some calls to iPXE in VM86 mode rather
than true real mode and does not correctly emulate our transition into
flat real mode.
Interestingly, Tivoli's VMM *does* allow us to switch into protected
mode (though it patches our GDT so that we execute in ring 1 rather
than ring 0). However, paging is still disabled and we have a 4GB
segment limit. Being in ring 1 does not, therefore, restrict us in
any meaningful way; this has been verified by deliberately writing
garbage over Tivoli's own GDT (at address 0x02201010) during a
nominally VM86-mode PXE API call. It's unclear precisely what
protection this VMM is supposed to be offering.

Some network cards automatically strip the VLAN header, providing the
VLAN tag via a side channel such as a completion queue entry. These
cards need to be able to report receive completions directly against
the relevant VLAN device.

[vlan] Use "-" instead of "." as separator in VLAN device names
VLAN device names have the form "netX.Y", e.g. "net0.5" for VLAN 5 on
net0. This use of "." conflicts with the use of "." as the
hierarchical separator in settings block names, with the result that
VLAN device settings cannot be accessed by name.
It would be trivial to treat the VLAN device settings as being a child
of the trunk device settings, but this would cause the VLAN device
settings to be applied to the trunk device: for example, setting
"net0.5/ip" would then apply the IP address to both net0.5 and net0.
Fix by changing the VLAN device name to use "-" instead of ".": the
VLAN device "net0.5" is now "net0-5".

[settings] Apply settings block name in register_settings()
Pass the settings block name as a parameter to register_settings(),

[cmdline] Match user expectations for &&, ||, goto, and exit
The && and || operators should be left-associative, since that is how
they are treated in most other languages (including C and Unix
shell). For example, in the command:
dhcp net0 && goto dhcp_ok || echo No DHCP on net0
if the "dhcp net0" fails then the "echo" should be executed.
After an "exit" or a successful "goto", further commands on the same
line should never be executed. For example:
goto somewhere && echo This should never be printed
exit 0 && echo This should never be printed
exit 1 && echo This should never be printed
An "exit" should cause the current shell or script to terminate and
return the specified exit status to its caller. For example:
chain test.ipxe && echo Success || echo Failure
[in test.ipxe]
#!ipxe
exit 0
should echo "Success".

The "shell" command allows a script to enter an interactive shell,
which is potentially useful for troubleshooting.

Some newer versions of gcc (observed with a patched gcc 4.5.1) seem to
treat our offsetof() implementation as not being a compile-time
constant. Fix by using __builtin_offsetof() when available. (As with
the original offsetof() macro, this code is copied from the Linux
kernel's stddef.h.)

[fcoe] Use only the first instance of a FIP descriptor
Almost all FIP packets contain at most one instance of each
descriptor. A VLAN notification may contain multiple VLAN
descriptors. The FCoE specification does not provide any guidance
regarding prioritisation of VLANs, so we may choose to arbitrarily
choose the first listed VLAN.

VLAN headers are allowed to contain a VLAN tag of zero, indicating
that the header specifies only a priority and that the packet does not
belong to any VLAN. The easiest way to handle this is to treat VLAN 0
as being a normal VLAN.

The increase in length in Fibre Channel device names causes the

[fcoe] Create Fibre Channel port only when we have selected an FCF
Create the Fibre Channel port only when the FCoE port has selected a
Fibre Channel Forwarder to use. This avoids the confusion of having
an FC port created for the network device on which only VLAN discovery
is performed.

Expansion of the (admittedly perverse) "aaa}bbb${ccc" will currently
fail because expand_command() does not check that the closing "}"
occurs later than the opening "${".
Fix by ensuring that the most recent opening "${" is used to match
against the first *subsequent* closing "}".
Total cost of this change: -12 bytes, bringing the overall cost of
this feature to -4 bytes.

Expansion of ${${foo}} will currently fail, because the first

[settings] Allow "set" command to take an empty value
Allow "set <variable>" to be used to set the variable to an empty
value, if permitted by the setting type. Note that some settings
backends do not differentiate between an empty value and a
non-existent value, so this may or may not be equivalent to "clear
<variable>".

[autoboot] Merge "netboot" command into "autoboot"
Allow "autoboot" to accept an optional list of network devices, and

Allow script labels to be defined using the syntax
:<labelname>
(nothing else allowed on the line, including whitespace). Labels are
ignored during script execution, but can be used as the target of the
"goto" command. For example:
#!ipxe
goto machine_${net0/ip} || goto machine_default
# Linux kernel boot
:machine_10.0.0.101
:machine_10.0.0.102
set filename http://my.boot.server/vmlinuz
goto done
# Default configuration
:machine_default
set filename pxelinux.0
goto done
# Boot selected configuration
:done

[cmdline] Add trivial logical operators to iPXE command lines
Make the "||" and "&&" operators available within iPXE commands. For
example:
dhcp net0 || set net0/ip 192.168.0.2
would attempt to acquire an IP address via DHCP, falling back to a
static address if DHCP fails.
As a side-effect, comments may now be appended to any line. For
example:
dhcp net0 || set net0/ip 192.168.0.2 # Try DHCP first, then static
