[int13con] Avoid overwriting random portions of SAN boot disks
The INT13 console type (CONSOLE_INT13) autodetects at initialisation
time a magic partition to be used for logging iPXE console output. If
the INT13 drive number mapping is subsequently changed (e.g. because
iPXE was used to perform a SAN boot), then the console logging output
will be written to the incorrect disk.
Fix by recording the INT13 vector at initialisation time, and using
this original vector to emulate INT13 calls for all subsequent
accesses. This should be robust against drive remapping performed
either by ourselves or by another bootloader (e.g. a chainloaded
undionly.kpxe which then performs a SAN boot).

[int13] Improve geometry guessing for unaligned partitions
Some partition tables have partitions that are not aligned to a
cylinder boundary, which confuses the current geometry guessing logic.
Enhance the existing logic to ensure that we never reduce our guesses
for the number of heads or sectors per track, and add extra logic to
calculate the exact number of sectors per track if we find a partition
that starts within cylinder zero.

Add basic support for multipath block devices. The "sanboot" and
"sanhook" commands now accept a list of SAN URIs. We open all URIs
concurrently. The first connection to become available for issuing
block device commands is marked as the active path and used for all
subsequent commands; all other connections are then closed. Whenever
the active path fails, we reopen all URIs and repeat the process.

The concept of the SAN drive number is meaningful only in a BIOS
environment, where it represents the INT13 drive number (0x80 for the
first hard disk). We retain this concept in a UEFI environment to
allow for a simple way for iPXE commands to refer to SAN drives.
Centralise the concept of the default drive number, since it is shared
between all supported environments.

[int13] Test correct return status from INT 13 calls
INT 13 calls return a status value via %ah, with CF set if %ah is
non-zero (indicating an error). Our wrappers zero the whole of %ax if
CF is clear, to allow C code (which has no easy access to CF) to
simply test for a non-zero status to detect an error.
The current code assigns the returned status to a uint8_t, effectively
testing %al rather than %ah. Fix by treating the returned status as a
uint16_t instead.

Avoid using a zero sector count to guess the disk geometry, since that
would result in a division by zero when calculating the number of
cylinders.

Allow the active timer (providing udelay() and currticks()) to be
selected at runtime based on probing during the INIT_EARLY stage of
initialisation.
TICKS_PER_SEC is now a fixed compile-time constant for all builds, and
is independent of the underlying clock tick rate. We choose the value
1024 to allow multiplications and divisions on seconds to be converted
to bit shifts.
TICKS_PER_MS is defined as 1, allowing multiplications and divisions
on milliseconds to be omitted entirely. The 2% inaccuracy in this
definition is negligible when using the standard BIOS timer (running
at around 18.2Hz).
TIMER_RDTSC now checks for a constant TSC before claiming to be a
usable timer. (This timer can be tested in KVM via the command-line
option "-cpu host,+invtsc".)

[acpi] Allow time for ACPI power off to take effect
The ACPI power off sequence may not take effect immediately. Delay
for one second, to eliminate potentially confusing log messages such
as "Could not power off: Error 0x43902001 (http://ipx".

On some platforms (observed in a small subset of Microsoft Azure
(Hyper-V) virtual machines), the RTC appears to be incapable of
generating an interrupt via the legacy PIC. The RTC status registers
show that a periodic interrupt has been asserted, but the PIC IRR
shows that IRQ8 remains inactive.
On such systems, iPXE will currently freeze during the "iPXE
initialising devices..." message.
Work around this problem by checking that RTC interrupts are being
raised before returning from rtc_entropy_enable(). If no interrupt is
seen within 100ms, then we assume that the RTC interrupt mechanism is
broken. In these circumstances, iPXE will continue to initialise but
any subsequent attempt to generate entropy will fail. In particular,
HTTPS connections will fail with an error indicating that no entropy
is available.

[bios] Do not enable interrupts when printing to the console
There seems to be no reason for the sti/cli pair used around each call
to INT 10. Remove these instructions, so that printing debug messages
from within an ISR does not temporarily reenable interrupts.

[int13] Allow default drive to be specified via "san-drive" setting
The DHCP option 175.189 has been defined (by us) since 2006 as
containing the drive number to be used for a SAN boot, but has never
been automatically used as such by iPXE.
Use this option (if specified) to override the default SAN drive
number.

[pcbios] Restrict external memory allocations to the low 4GB
When running the 64-bit BIOS version of iPXE, restrict external memory
allocations to the low 4GB to ensure that allocations (such as for
initrds) fall within our identity-mapped memory region, and will be
accessible to the potentially 32-bit operating system.
Move largest_memblock() back to memtop_umalloc.c, since this change
imposes a restriction that applies only to BIOS builds.

[bios] Make uses of REAL_CODE() and PHYS_CODE() 64-bit clean
On a 64-bit CPU, any modification of a register by 32-bit or 16-bit
code will destroy the invisible upper 32 bits of the corresponding
64-bit register. For example: a 32-bit "pushl %eax" followed by a
"popl %eax" will zero the upper half of %rax. This differs from the
treatment of upper halves of 32-bit registers by 16-bit code: a
"pushw %ax" followed by a "popw %ax" will leave the upper 16 bits of
%eax unmodified.
Inline assembly generated using REAL_CODE() or PHYS_CODE() will
therefore have to preserve the upper halves of all registers, to avoid
clobbering registers that gcc expects to be preserved.
Output operands from REAL_CODE() and PHYS_CODE() assembly may
therefore contain undefined values in the upper 32 bits.
Fix by using explicit variable widths (e.g. uint32_t) for
non-discarded output operands, to ensure that undefined values in the
upper 32 bits of 64-bit registers are ignored.

Move most arch/i386 files to arch/x86, and adjust the contents of the
Makefiles and the include/bits/*.h headers to reflect the new
locations.
This patch makes no substantive code changes, as can be seen using a
rename-aware diff (e.g. "git show -M5").
This patch does not make the pcbios platform functional for x86_64; it
merely allows it to compile without errors.
