This brings us in to line with Linux definitions, and also simplifies
adding x86_64 support since both platforms have 2-byte shorts, 4-byte
ints and 8-byte long longs.

The userptr_t is now the fundamental type that gets used for conversions.
For example, virt_to_phys() is implemented in terms of virt_to_user() and
user_to_phys().

Apparently some BIOSes will place option ROMs on 512-byte boundaries.
While this is against specification, it doesn't actually hurt
anything, so we may as well increase our scan granularity to 512
bytes.

__from_data16 and __from_text16 now take a pointer to a
.data16/.text16 variable, and return the real-mode offset within the
appropriate segment.  This matches the use case for every occurrence
of these macros, and prevents potential future bugs such as that fixed
in commit d51d80f.  (The bug arose essentially because "&pointer" is
still syntactically valid.)

We never set up specific multicast filters; native drivers will ask
the card to receive all multicast packets.  The only way to achieve
this via the UNDI API is to enable promiscuous mode.

Add ability for network devices to flag link up/down state to the
networking core.

Autobooting code will now wait for link-up before attempting DHCP.

IPoIB reflects the Infiniband link state as the network device link state
(which is not strictly correct; we also need a succesful IPoIB IPv4
broadcast group join), but is probably more informative.

As written, if the if the UNDI ISR call clobbers the upper halves of
any of the GPRs (which by convention it is permitted to do, and by
paranoia should be expected to do) then nothing in the interrupt
handler will recover the state.

Additionally, save/restore %fs and %gs out of sheer paranoia - it's a
cheap enough operation, and may prevent problems due to poorly written
UNDI stacks.

Since we don't know what the UNDI code does, it is safest to
save/restore %eflags even though the lower half of %eflags is
automatically saved by the interrupt itself.

Ignore obviously invalid length combinations (as returned by

Limit to one packet per poll to avoid memory exhaustion.

Always send EOI; do not chain to BIOS's default interrupt handler.
They are just too unpredictable; at least VMware's seems to kill the

Disable interrupts after return from PXENV_UNDI_ISR, just in case some
dumb PXE stack enables them.

safe dropping of the netdev ref by the driver while other refs still
exist.

Add netdev_irq() method.  Net device open()/close() methods should no
longer enable or disable IRQs.

Remove rx_quota; it wasn't used anywhere and added too much complexity
to implementing correct interrupt-masking behaviour in pxe_undi.c.

None of this code is yet tested.

Add "dev" pointer in struct net_device to tie network interfaces back to a

Force natural alignment of data types in __table() macros.  This seems to
prevent gcc from taking the unilateral decision to occasionally increase
their alignment (which screws up the table packing).
