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.

of blocking on asynchronous operations, when that isn't an important
aspect of the code.

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.

layer asynchronous, so keeping the sync/async boundary within aoedev.c
seems cleanest for now.

async_wait(), though we may wish to move this higher up the stack, and
consider making the block device model asynchronous.  (There is only a
marginal cost for synchronous devices, since they can simply call
async_done() before returning; async_wait() will work seamlessly in this
situation).

Removed data_in_len and data_out_len from ata_command structure; the
lengths are implied by the sector count and the presence of the data_in
or data_out pointers.

Changed AoE code to use subcommands by default, and made aoe_issue()
nonblocking (with completion via async_wait()).

  Cannot yet handle reads of more than two sectors

  No retransmission

  No way to find out a target's MAC address (this proof of concept uses
  broadcasts)

These limitations shall not last long!  :)

Yes, you really can do it in 65 bytes.
