storage etc.)

Prepared ipv4.c for transition away from uIP.

Kill off the static single net device and move to proper dynamic
registration (which we need with the new device model).

Break the (flawed) assumption that all network-layer protocols can use
ARP; such network-layer protocols (i.e. IPv4) must now register as an ARP
protocol using ARP_NET_PROTOCOL() and provide a single method for checking
the existence of a local network-layer address.

Shrink to 4kB for now.  We might want to see if it can be made
genuinely indicative of the RX ring size in the new TCP
implementation.

AoE now uses the retry timer mechanism.

elegant, but it works).

async_wait(), though we may wish to move this higher up the stack, and
consider making the block device model asynchronous.  (There is only a
marginal cost for synchronous devices, since they can simply call
async_done() before returning; async_wait() will work seamlessly in this
situation).

Removed data_in_len and data_out_len from ata_command structure; the
lengths are implied by the sector count and the presence of the data_in
or data_out pointers.

Changed AoE code to use subcommands by default, and made aoe_issue()
nonblocking (with completion via async_wait()).

these timer objects in AoE and UDP protocols (where there is no underlying
retransmission mechanism) without requiring each protocol to implement its
own individual retry logic.  Eventually, we should be able to use the same
timer code for TCP retransmissions as well.

the kernel), which encapsulates the information needed to refer to an
external buffer.  Under normal operation, this can just be a void *
equivalent, but under -DKEEP_IT_REAL it would be a segoff_t equivalent.

Use this concept to avoid the need for bounce buffers in int13.c,
which reduces memory usage and opens up the possibility of using
multi-sector reads.

Extend the block-device API and the SCSI block device implementation
to support multi-sector reads.

Update iscsi.c to use user buffers.

Move the obsolete portions of realmode.h to old_realmode.h.

MS-DOS now boots an order of magnitude faster over iSCSI (~10 seconds

returned via the scsi_command structure.

Updated iSCSI session parameter usage.

take ownership of the packet, rather than doing so only if they return

hard_start_xmit() method, but means that we don't have to worry so much
about error cases.

Split mechanism of processing received packets (net_rx_process()) out
