Some processes execute only once, and exist solely in order to defer
execution until after the relevant instantiator method has returned.
Such processes do not need to be automatically rescheduled when
executing.

[process] Pass containing object pointer to process step() methods
Give the step() method a pointer to the containing object, rather than
a pointer to the process. This is consistent with the operation of
interface methods, and allows a single function to serve as both an
interface method and a process step() method.

[xfer] Send xfer_window_changed() after xfer_vredirect()
Modify the default action for xfer_vredirect() to automatically send

interfaces. This will allow the elimination of processes that simply
poll on xfer_window() to determine when a redirection has completed
successfully.

[romprefix] Force PnP header to a 16-byte boundary for IBM BIOSes
IBM BIOSes ignore the PnP header offset stored at address 0x1a and
instead scan for the $PnP signature on a 16-byte boundary. (This
alignment is not mandated by the PnP specification.)
Force PnP header to a 16-byte boundary to work around these BIOSes.

[romprefix] Do not fall back to hooking INT19 by default
Several BIOSes (including most IBM BIOSes and many virtual machine
BIOSes) do not provide detectable PnP support, but will use the BEV
entry point for a PnP option ROM. On these semi-PnP BIOSes, iPXE will
respond to the absence of detectable PnP support by hooking INT19,
which disrupts the boot order.
BIOSes that genuinely require hooking INT19 seem to be very rare
nowadays. It may therefore be preferable to assume that the absence
of detectable PnP support indicates a semi-PnP BIOS rather than a
non-PnP BIOS.
Change the default behaviour so that INT19 will never be hooked unless
the compile-time option NONPNP_HOOK_INT19 is enabled. Leave the
redundant PnP detection routine in-place to allow for debugging via
the ROM banner line.

[ipv4] Include network device metadata in packet traces
(Ab)use the "ident" field in transmitted IPv4 packets to convey
metadata about the network device. In particular:
bits 0-3 represent the low bits of the "RX" good packet counter
bits 4-7 represent the low bits of the "RXE" bad packet counter
bits 8-15 represent the transmitted packet sequence number
This allows some relevant information about the internal state of the
network device to be read out from a packet trace from a non-debug
build of iPXE. In particular, it allows a packet trace containing
packets transmitted by iPXE to indicate whether or not any packets
have been received by iPXE.

[bofm] Report {slot,port} to {bus:dev.fn,mport} mapping on newer BOFM builds
Newer BOFM builds provide support for mapping multiple physical ports
to a single PCI bus:dev.fn via PCI VPD descriptions. These builds
will also leave the {slot,port} field intact, and will populate the
mport field with a meaningful value.
Older BOFM builds will zero out the {slot,port} field. A zero value
in this field may indicate either a genuine zero value (i.e. slot 0
first port) or an older build.

[romprefix] Attempt to gracefully handle semi-PnP IBM BIOSes
Some IBM BIOSes provide partial support for PnP: they will use the BEV
entry point but will not advertise PnP support. This causes iPXE to
hook INT 19, which disrupts the boot process.
Attempt to improve this situation by detecting an IBM BIOS and
treating it as a PnP BIOS despite the absence of a PnP signature.

[build] Fix building on mildly deranged versions of binutils
Some versions of binutils have curious concepts of what constitutes
subtraction. For example:
0x00000000000000f0 _text16_late = .
0x0000000000000898 _mtext16 = .
0x0000000000000898 _etext16 = .
0x0000000000000898 _text16_late_filesz = ABSOLUTE ((_mtext16 - _text16_late))
0x00000000000007a8 _text16_late_memsz = ABSOLUTE ((_etext16 - _text16_late))
This has interesting side-effects such as producing sizes for .bss
segments that are negative, causing the majority of addressable memory
to be zeroed out.
Fix by using the form
ABSOLUTE ( x ) - ABSOLUTE ( y )
rather than
ABSOLUTE ( x - y )

[hermon] Work around missing mport support in current BOFM implementations
Current BOFM versions are unable to create entries with mport>1, which
means that only the port 1 MAC address can be explicitly specified.
Work around this by using the provided MAC address as a base address
for all subsequent ports. For example, if BOFM assigns the address
00:1A:64:76:00:09 for port 1
then we will assign the addresses
00:1A:64:76:00:09 for port 1
00:1A:64:76:00:0a for port 2
Future BOFM versions that may correctly support mport will work with
this scheme without modification provided that the BOFM entries are
created in increasing order of mport. Since BOFM tools tend to
generate entries in increasing order (of slot, port, etc), this is not
an unreasonable compromise.
