Gave asynchronous operations approximate POSIX signal semantics. This
will enable us to cascade async operations, which is necessary in order to
properly support DNS. (For example, an HTTP request may have to redirect
to a new location and will have to perform a new DNS lookup, so we can't
just rely on doing the name lookup at the time of parsing the initial
URL).
Anything other than HTTP is probably broken right now; I'll fix the others
up asap.
Let ifmgmt.c take care of calling efree(), since it's the once which
took out the contract to eventually call efree() when it called fetch().
Maintain the most recently loaded image at the start of the list, so that
imgautoselect() will pick it.
Provide registration mechanism for loaded images, so that we can e.g.
refer to them by name from the command line, or build them into a
multiboot module list.
Use setting image->type to disambiguate between "not my image" and "bad
image"; this avoids relying on specific values of the error code.
Having forced __table() to natural structure alignment, it now seems
that we *can* place arrays in tables, which means we can force the
order within a table without having to resort to explicitly numbered
sections on everything.
Add "name" field to struct device to allow human-readable hardware device
names.
Add "dev" pointer in struct net_device to tie network interfaces back to a
hardware device.
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).
