[netdevice] Pass both link-layer addresses in net_tx() and net_rx()
FCoE requires the use of fabric-provided MAC addresses, which breaks
the assumption that the net device's MAC address is implicitly the
source address for net_tx() and the (unicast) destination address for
net_rx().

[retry] Hold reference while timer is running and during expiry callback
Guarantee that a retry timer cannot go out of scope while the timer is
running, and provide a guarantee to the expiry callback that the timer
will remain in scope during the entire callback (similar to the
guarantee provided to interface methods).

[build] Fix misaligned table entries when using gcc 4.5
Declarations without the accompanying __table_entry cause misalignment
of the table entries when using gcc 4.5. Fix by adding the
appropriate __table_entry macro or (where possible) by removing
unnecessary forward declarations.

Standardise on using timer_init() to initialise an embedded retry
timer, to match the coding style used by other embedded objects.

Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated
resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain. Work
around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and
updating URLs to match.
Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.

[ipv4] Ignore non-open net devices when performing routing
We do not discard routing table entries when closing an interface. It
is plausible that multiple interfaces may be on the same physical
network; if so, then we may end up in a situation whereby outbound
packets attempt to route via a closed interface.
Fix by ignoring non-open net devices in ipv4_route().
ipv4.c calculates the default subnet mask before calling
fetch_ipv4_setting() to retrieve the configured subnet mask (if any).
However, as of commit 612f4e7 "[settings] Avoid returning
uninitialised data on error in fetch_xxx_setting()",
fetch_ipv4_setting() will zero the IP address if the setting does not
exist, rather than leaving it unaltered.
Fix by fetching the setting first and calculating the default subnet
mask only if necessary.
[ipv4] Use a zero address to indicate "no gateway", rather than INADDR_NONE
ipv4.c uses a gateway address of INADDR_NONE to represent "no
gateway". It initialises the gateway address to INADDR_NONE before
calling fetch_ipv4_setting() to retrieve the configured gateway
address (if any).
However, as of commit 612f4e7 "[settings] Avoid returning
uninitialised data on error in fetch_xxx_setting()",
fetch_ipv4_setting() will zero the IP address if the setting does not
exist, rather than leaving it unaltered.
Fix by using a zero IP address to indicate "no gateway", so that a
non-existent gateway address setting will be treated as such.
[netdevice] Make ll_broadcast per-netdevice rather than per-ll_protocol
IPoIB has a link-layer broadcast address that varies according to the
partition key. We currently go through several contortions to pretend
that the link-layer address is a fixed constant; by making the
broadcast address a property of the network device rather than the
link-layer protocol it will be possible to simplify IPoIB's broadcast
handling.
[tcpip] Allow for transmission to multicast IPv4 addresses
When sending to a multicast address, it may be necessary to specify
the source address explicitly, since the multicast destination address
does not provide enough information to deduce the source address via
the miniroute table.
Allow the source address specified via the data-xfer metadata to be
passed down through the TCP/IP stack to the IPv4 layer, which can use
it as a default source address.
[netdevice] Split multicast hashing out into an mc_hash method
Multicast hashing is an ugly overlap between network and link layers.
EFI requires us to provide access to this functionality, so move it
out of ipv4.c and expose it as a method of the link layer.
From: Viswanath Krishnamurthy <viswa.krish@gmail.com>
The current ipv4 incorrectly checks the IP address for multicast address.
This causes valid IPv4 unicast address to be trated as multicast address
For e.g if the PXE/tftp server IP address is 192.168.4.XXX where XXX is
224 or greater, it gets treated as multicast address and a ethernet
multicast address is sent out on the wire causing timeouts
[Settings] Remove assumption that all settings have DHCP tag values
Allow for settings to be described by something other than a DHCP option
tag if desirable. Currently used only for the MAC address setting.
Separate out fake DHCP packet creation code from dhcp.c to fakedhcp.c.
Remove notion of settings from dhcppkt.c.
Rationalise dhcp.c to use settings API only for final registration of the
DHCP options, rather than using {store,fetch}_setting throughout.
Clarified packet ownership transfer between a few functions.
Added a large number of missing calls to free_pkb(). In the case of UDP,
no received packets were ever freed, which lead to memory exhaustion
remarkably quickly once pxelinux started up.
In general, any function with _rx() in its name which accepts a pk_buff
*must* either call free_pkb() or pass the pkb to another _rx() function
(e.g. the next layer up the stack). Since the UDP (and TCP) layers don't
pass packet buffers up to the higher-layer protocols (the
"applications"), they must free the packet buffer after calling the
application's newdata() method.
