The linker chooses to look for _start first and always picks
efidrvprefix.o to satisfy it (probably because it's earlier in the
archive) which causes a multiple definition error when the linker
later has to pick efiprefix.o for other symbols.
Fix by using EFI-specific TGT_LD_FLAGS with an explicit entry point.

Apart from format specifier fixes there are two changes in proper code:
- Change type of regs in skge_hw to unsigned long
- Cast result of sizeof in myri10ge to uint32_t
Both don't change anything for i386 and should be fine on x86_64.

[build] Use weak definitions instead of weak declarations
This removes the need for inline safety wrappers, marginally reducing
the size penalty of weak functions, and works around an apparent
binutils bug that causes undefined weak symbols to not actually be
NULL when compiling with -fPIE (as EFI builds do).
A bug in versions of binutils prior to 2.16 (released in 2005) will
cause same-file weak definitions to not work with those
toolchains. Update the README to reflect our new dependency on
binutils >= 2.16.

[dhcp] Honor PXEBS_SKIP option in discovery control
It is permissible for a DHCP packet containing PXE options to specify
only "discovery control", instead of the more typical boot menu +
prompt options. This is the strategy used by older versions of
dnsmasq; by specifying the discovery control as PXEBS_SKIP, they cause
vendor PXE ROMs to ignore boot server discovery and just use the
filename and next-server options in the initial (Proxy)DHCP packet.
Modify iPXE to accept this behavior, to be more compatible with the
Intel firmware.

[tcp] Update received sequence number before delivering received data
iPXE currently updates the TCP sequence number after delivering the
data to the application via xfer_deliver_iob(). If the application
responds to the received data by transmitting more data, this would
result in a stale ACK number appearing in the transmitted packet,
which potentially causes retransmissions and also gives the
undesirable appearance of violating causality (by sending a response
to a message that we claim not to have yet received).

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).

Use INT 15,88 to find a suitable temporary decompression area, rather

iPXE currently insists on residing in an even megabyte. This imposes
undesirably severe constraints upon our PMM allocation strategy, and
limits our options for mechanisms to access ROMs greater than 64kB in
size.
Add A20 handling code to libflat so that prefixes are able to access
memory even in odd megabytes.
The algorithms and tuning parameters in the new A20 handling code are
based upon a mixture of the existing iPXE A20 code and the A20 code
from the 2.6.32 Linux kernel.

[prefix] Use flat real mode for access to high memory
Use flat real mode rather than 16-bit protected mode for access to

When returning to real mode, set 4GB segment limits instead of 64kB
limits. This change improves our chances of successfully returning to
a PMM-capable BIOS aftering entering iPXE during POST; the BIOS will
have set up flat real mode before calling our initialisation point,
and may be disconcerted if we then return in genuine real mode.
This change is unlikely to break anything, since any code that might
potentially access beyond 64kB must use addr32 prefixes to do so; if
this is the case then it is almost certainly code written to expect
flat real mode anyway.
Note that it is not possible to restore the real-mode segment limits
to their original values, since it is not possible to know which
protected-mode segment descriptor was originally used to initialise
the limit portion of the segment register.

The .hrom prefix provides an experimental mechanism for reducing

pretending that PMM allocation succeeded and gave us an address fixed

The .xrom prefix provides an experimental mechanism for loading ROM
images greater than 64kB in size by mapping the expansion ROM BAR in
at a hopefully-unused address. This is unreliable, and potentially
dangerous. In particular, there is no guarantee that any PCI bridges
between the CPU and the device will respond to accesses for the
"unused" memory region that is chosen, and it is possible that the
process of scanning for the "unused" memory region may end up issuing
reads to other PCI devices. If this ends up trampling on a register
with read side-effects belonging to an unrelated PCI device, this may
cause undefined behaviour.
