closed() method with a reason code.

compile, even if it won't yet be safe.

take ownership of the packet, rather than doing so only if they return
success.  This breaks semantic compatibility with Linux's
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
from policy (net_step()), preparatory to putting net_step() in a separate
object.

Yes, you really can do it in 65 bytes.

EBADIMG has been replaced by ENOEXEC, and EIMGRET by ECANCELED.

aligned blocks.

Moved header to include/malloc.h, since we now also provide the
POSIX-like malloc()/free() pair.

Not yet tested.

power-of-two up from a given constant via
  ( 1 << fls ( constant - 1 ) )

fls(), flsl(), ffs() and ffsl() appear in strings.h according to
POSIX.

even when __atribute__ (( unused )) is correctly set...

I want to get to the point where any header in include/ reflects a
standard user-level header (e.g. a POSIX header), while everything that's
specific to gPXE lives in include/gpxe/.  Headers that reflect a Linux
header (e.g. if_ether.h) should also be in include/gpxe/, with the same
name as the Linux header and, preferably, the same names used for the
definitions.

the efficiency of static allocation).

Link-layer protocols are cleanly separated from the device drivers.

Network-layer protocols are cleanly separated from individual network
devices.

Link-layer and network-layer protocols are cleanly separated from each

it with metadata in the pkb structure.  This is required since UNDI will
want to be able to parse the link-layer header without destroying it.

separate from a network device (a link-layer concept).

those functions we are likely to need.

Still need to come up with a way of getting the linker to create
static lists using this linking mechanism.

Add 'raw' net_addr facility (needed for ARP).

Removed obsolete struct arprequest from if_arp.h and put it in nic.c so
that nic.c will still compile.  ARP will very shortly be handled by
net/arp.c instead.

Added set_ipaddr().

the first standalong uIP-based protocol module.

the definition of it uses offsetof(), and the two concepts are related.

changing all the uses of "%@" in printf to use "%s" and inet_ntoa
instead, in order to improve the portability of our code.
