[forcedeth] Replace driver with native iPXE driver
This patch adds a native iPXE forcedeth driver and removes the legacy
Etherboot forcedeth driver. It supports 40 different chips, compared
to the original 14.
It has been tested on a NIC with an CK804 Ethernet Controller, and the
results of downloading 5 100mb images in a row have been:
12/11/11/11/11 seconds; booting DSL using pxelinux also succeeded. The
driver has also been tested by chaining undionly.kpxe and it worked.

[virtio] Replace virtio-net with native iPXE driver
This patch adds a native iPXE virtio-net driver and removes the legacy
Etherboot virtio-net driver. The main reasons for doing this are:
1. Multiple virtio-net NICs are now supported by iPXE. The legacy
driver kept global state and caused issues in virtual machines with
more than one virtio-net device.
2. Faster downloads. The native iPXE driver downloads 100 MB over
HTTP in 12s, the legacy Etherboot driver in 37s. This simple
benchmark uses KVM with tap networking and the Python
SimpleHTTPServer both running on the same host.
Changes to core virtio code reduce vring descriptors to 256 (QEMU uses
128 for virtio-blk and 256 for virtio-net) and change the opaque token
from u16 to void*. Lowering the descriptor count reduces memory
consumption. The void* opaque token change makes driver code simpler.

Add NonVolatile Option (nvo) and NonVolatile Storage (nvs) support to
the myri10ge driver using the EEPROM read/write mechanism provided by
the NIC's Vendor Specific PCI capability.
The myri10ge NIC is capabile of storing 64KB or more of nonvolatile
options, but this patch advertises only 512 bytes of nvo storage
because iPXE malloc's a buffer matching the total size we advertise.
512 is plenty without wasting malloc'd memory. (The 2 other drivers
currently supporting nvo advertise 256 bytes or less.)

Add a new network driver that consumes the EFI Simple Network

Apart from format specifier fixes there are two changes in proper code:
- Change type of regs in skge_hw to unsigned long
- Cast result of sizeof in myri10ge to uint32_t
Both don't change anything for i386 and should be fine on x86_64.

[phantom] Update interrupt support to match current firmware
The interrupt control mechanism on Phantom cards has changed
substantially since the driver was initially written. This updates

This code is based on the linux skge driver. It supports Marvell Yukon
and SysKonnect Gigabit chipsets.
The code is based on code Michael Decker <mrd999@gmail.com> wrote for
Google Summer of Code 2008.
Support for dual-port cards is untested. The code, however, was left
in. In my opinion it's easier to fix the code if we need to, instead
of having to add support for it from scratch.

[netdevice] Add the concept of an "Ethernet-compatible" MAC address
The iBFT is Ethernet-centric in providing only six bytes for a MAC
address. This is most probably an indirect consequence of a similar
design flaw in the Windows NDIS stack. (The WinOF IPoIB stack
performs all sorts of contortions in order to pretend to the NDIS
layer that it is dealing with six-byte MAC addresses.)
There is no sensible way in which to extend the iBFT without breaking
compatibility with programs that expect to parse it. Add the notion
of an "Ethernet-compatible" MAC address to our link layer abstraction,
so that link layers can provide their own workarounds for this
limitation.

[ath5k] Save proper cacheline size when fixing PCI configuration
