[802.11] Enhance support for driver PHY differences
The prior net80211 model of physical-layer behavior for drivers was
overly simplistic and limited the drivers that could be written. To
be more flexible, split the driver-provided list of supported rates by
band, and add a means for specifying a list of supported channels.
Allow drivers to specify a hardware channel value that will be tied to
uses of the channel.
Expose net80211_duration() to drivers, and make the rate it uses in
its computations configurable, so that it can be used in calculating
durations that must be set in hardware for ACK and CTS packets. Add
net80211_cts_duration() for the common case of calculating the
duration for a CTS packet.

If isolinux.bin is not installed in the expected location the error

[infiniband] Add the concept of a management interface
A management interface is the component through which both local and
remote management agents are accessed.
This new implementation of a management interface allows for the user
to react to timed-out transactions, and also allows for cancellation
of in-progress transactions.
[romprefix] Cope with PnP BIOSes that fail to set %es:%di on entry
Some BIOSes support the BIOS Boot Specification (BBS) but fail to set
%es:%di correctly when calling the option ROM initialisation entry
point. This causes gPXE to identify the BIOS as non-PnP (and so
non-BBS), leaving the user unable to control the boot order.
Fix by scanning for the $PnP signature ourselves, rather than relying
on the BIOS having passed in %es:%di correctly.

[infiniband] Change IB_{QPN,QKEY,QPT} names from {SMA,GMA} to {SMI,GSI}
The IBA specification refers to management "interfaces" and "agents".
The interface is the component that connects to the queue pair and
sends and receives MADs; the agent is the component that constructs
the reply to the MAD.
Rename the IB_{QPN,QKEY,QPT} constants as a first step towards making
this separation in gPXE.
[build] Mark __intel_new_proc_init with __libgcc rather than cdecl
The function __intel_new_proc_init() (called implicitly when building
using icc) is marked with __attribute__((cdecl)). This breaks
building on x86_64, where cdecl is meaningless.
Fix by replacing with the existing __libgcc macro, which is already
defined to be "__attribute__((cdecl))" for i386 builds and empty for
x86_64 builds.
[legal] Add the MIT and ISC licenses to licence.pl
The MIT and ISC licenses are legally equivalent to the bsd2 license,
but with slightly different verbiage.

[pxe] Dual-license pxe_api.h under the MIT license
pxe_api.h is just a description of API functions, it's actively
undesirable to have more implementations than necessary. Allowing it
under the MIT license lets the Syslinux libraries use it.

[tcp] Avoid printf format warnings on some compilers
In several places, we currently use size_t to represent a difference
between TCP sequence numbers. This can cause compiler warnings
relating to printf format specifiers, since the result of
(uint32_t+size_t) may be an unsigned long on some compilers.
Fix by using uint32_t for all variables that represent a difference
between TCP sequence numbers.

[build] Allow safe concurrent builds of .iso, .liso and .sdsk targets
The geniso, genliso and gensdsk scripts contain hard-coded temporary
directory names, and so could potentially collide with each other when
run as part of a concurrent build (e.g. "make -j 4").
Fix by using mktemp to generate suitable temporary directory names.
We add a syslinux floppy disk type using parts of the genliso script.
This floppy image cat be dd'ed to a physical floppy or used in
instances where a virtual floppy with an mountable DOS filesystem is
useful.
We also modify the genliso script to only generate .liso images
rather than creating images depending on how it is called.

[802.11] Add support for 802.11 devices with software MAC layer

[hermon] Allow software GMA to receive packets destined for QP1
The Linux IB Communication Manager will always send MADs to QP1,
rather than back to the originating QP. On Hermon, QP1 is by default
handled by the embedded firmware. We can change this, but the cost is
that we have to handle both QP0 and QP1 (i.e. we have to provide SMA
as well as GMA service in software), and we have to use MLX queues
rather than standard UD queues (i.e. we have to construct the UD
datagrams by hand).
There doesn't seem to be any viable way around this situation, ugly
though it is.
[infiniband] Add infrastructure for RC queue pairs
Queue pairs are now assumed to be created in the INIT state, with a
call to ib_modify_qp() required to bring the queue pair to the RTS
state.
ib_modify_qp() no longer takes a modification list; callers should
modify the relevant queue pair parameters (e.g. qkey) directly and
then call ib_modify_qp() to synchronise the changes to the hardware.
The packet sequence number is now a property of the queue pair, rather
than of the device.
Each queue pair may have an associated address vector. For RC queue
pairs, this is the address vector that will be programmed in to the
hardware as the remote address. For UD queue pairs, it will be used
as the default address vector if none is supplied to ib_post_send().
[infiniband] Allow MAD handlers to indicate response via return value
Now that MAD handlers no longer return a status code, we can allow
them to return a pointer to a MAD structure if and only if they want
to send a response. This provides a more natural and flexible
approach than using a "response method" field within the handler's
descriptor.
[infiniband] Remove the return status code from MAD handlers
MAD handlers have to set the status fields within the MAD itself
anyway, in order to provide a meaningful response MAD; the additional
gPXE return status code is just noise.
Note that we probably don't need to ever explicitly set the status to
IB_MGMT_STATUS_OK, since it should already have this value from the
request. (By not explicitly setting the status in this way, we can
safely have ib_sma_set_xxx() call ib_sma_get_xxx() in order to
generate the GetResponse MAD without worrying that ib_sma_get_xxx()
will clear any error status set by ib_sma_set_xxx().)
[infiniband] Allow external QPN to differ from real QPN
Most IB hardware seems not to allow allocation of the genuine QPNs 0
and 1, so allow for the externally-visible QPN (as constructed and
parsed by ib_packet, where used) to differ from the real
hardware-allocated QPN.
[infiniband] Make qkey and rate optional parameters to ib_post_send()
The queue key is stored as a property of the queue pair, and so can
optionally be added by the Infiniband core at the time of calling
ib_post_send(), rather than always having to be specified by the
caller.
This allows IPoIB to avoid explicitly keeping track of the data queue
key.
[ipoib] Clarify new role of IPoIB peer cache as for MAC addresses only
Now that path record lookups are handled entirely via
ib_resolve_path(), the only role of the IPoIB peer cache is as a
lookup table for MAC addresses. Update the code structure and
comments to reflect this.
The IPoIB broadcast MAC address varies according to the partition key.
Now that the broadcast MAC address is a property of the network device
rather than of the link layer, we can expose this real MAC address
directly.
The broadcast LID is now identified via a path record lookup; this is
marginally inefficient (since it was present in the MCMemberRecord
GetResponse), but avoids the need to special-case broadcasts when
constructing the address vector in ipoib_transmit().
Generalise the subnet management agent into a general management agent
capable of sending and responding to MADs, including support for
retransmissions as necessary.
