Commit fd0aef9 introduced a typo that caused PMM detection to start at
paragraph 0xe00 rather than 0xe000. (Detection would still work, since it
would scan until it ran out of base memory, but it would end up scanning
an unnecessarily large portion of base memory.)

[a20] Send a null command to the KBC after changing A20
Send a null command, specifically "pulse outputs" with no outputs
selected, to the KBC after changing A20. This was apparently done by DOS,
presumably as a synchronization hack, and the authors of the UHCI spec
thought it was inherent. Therefore, there are systems out there (e.g. HP
DL360 G5) which will stop responsing to "legacy USB" unless they see the
null command, 0xFF, written to port 0x64 at the end of the A20 toggling
sequence.

[prefix] When we have to hook INT 19, chain to original handler if possible
When the BIOS doesn't support BBS, hooking INT 19 is the only way to add
ourselves as a boot device. If we have to do this, we should at least
try to chain to the original INT 19 vector if our boot fails.
Idea suggested by Andrew Schran <aschran@google.com>
[bzimage] Support kernel command lines of greater than 256 characters
2.6.22+ kernels have an extra field in the bzimage_header structure to
indicate the maximum permitted command-line length. Use this if it is
available.
A bug in read_smbios_string() was causing the starting offset of the
SMBIOS structure to be added twice, resulting in completely the wrong
strings being returned.

[undi] Ask for promiscuous packet reception when using UNDI driver
We never set up specific multicast filters; native drivers will ask
the card to receive all multicast packets. The only way to achieve
this via the UNDI API is to enable promiscuous mode.
[ELF] Add ability to boot ELF images generated by wraplinux and mkelfImage
Delete ELF as a generic image type. The method for invoking an
ELF-based image (as well as any tables that must be set up to allow it
to boot) will always depend on the specific architecture. core/elf.c
now only provides the elf_load() function, to avoid duplicating
functionality between ELF-based image types.
Add arch/i386/image/elfboot.c, to handle the generic case of 32-bit
x86 ELF images. We don't currently set up any multiboot tables, ELF
notes, etc. This seems to be sufficient for loading kernels generated
using both wraplinux and coreboot's mkelfImage.
Note that while Etherboot 5.4 allowed ELF images to return, we don't.
There is no callback mechanism for the loaded image to shut down gPXE,
which means that we have to shut down before invoking the image. This
means that we lose device state, protection against being trampled on,
etc. It is not safe to continue afterwards.
The GDBSYM config.h option was an attempt at QEMU GDB debugging. I have
removed the code since it is unused and may confuse people wanting to
use the GDB stub.
[prefix] Prompt for entering gPXE shell during POST
The ROM prefix now prompts the user to enter the gPXE shell during POST;
this allows for configuring gPXE without needing to attempt to boot from
it. (It also slows down system boot by three seconds per gPXE ROM, but
hey.)
This is apparently a certain OEM's requirement for option ROMs.
Add ability for network devices to flag link up/down state to the
networking core.
Autobooting code will now wait for link-up before attempting DHCP.
IPoIB reflects the Infiniband link state as the network device link state
(which is not strictly correct; we also need a succesful IPoIB IPv4
broadcast group join), but is probably more informative.
[HCI] Display "Not an executable image" when appropriate
PXE is a catch-all image format with no signature checks. If an
unsupported image file is loaded, it will be treated as a PXE image. In
most cases, the image will be too large to be loaded as a PXE image (which
has to fit in base memory), so the error returned to the user will be that
the segment could not fit within the memory region.
Add an explicit check to pxe_image.c to reject images larger than base
memory with ENOEXEC.
Add ENOEXEC to the error string table.
[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.
[DHCP] Fix up fake-packet creation as used by PXENV_GET_CACHED_INFO
Add dedicated functions create_dhcpdiscover(), create_dhcpack() and
create_proxydhcpack() for use by external code such as the PXE preboot
code.
Register ProxyDHCP options under the global scope "proxydhcp".
Unregister previously-acquired DHCP and ProxyDHCP settings when DHCP
succeeds.
[prefix] Cope with image source addresses outside base memory
When PMM is used, the gPXE image source will no longer be in base memory.
Decompression of .text16 and .data16 can therefore no longer be done in
real mode.
Use BBS installation check to see if we need to hook INT19 even on a PnP
BIOS.
Verify that $PnP signature is paragraph-aligned; bochs/qemu BIOS provides
a dummy $PnP signature with no valid entry point, and deliberately
unaligns the signature to indicate that it is not properly valid.
Print message if INT19 is hooked.
Attempt to use PMM even if BBS check failed.
ROM initialisation vector now attempts to allocate a 2MB block using
PMM. If successful, it copies the ROM image to this block, then
shrinks the ROM image to allow for more option ROMs. If unsuccessful,
it leaves the ROM as-is.
ROM BEV now attempts to return to the BIOS, resorting to INT 18 only
if the BIOS stack has been corrupted.
[PXEXT] Add PXENV_FILE_EXEC call to PXE extensions API.
This allows pxelinux to execute arbitrary gPXE commands. This is
remarkably unsafe (not least because some of the commands will assume
full ownership of memory and do nasty things like edit the e820 map
underneath the calling pxelinux), but it does allow access to the
"sanboot" command.

As written, if the if the UNDI ISR call clobbers the upper halves of
any of the GPRs (which by convention it is permitted to do, and by
paranoia should be expected to do) then nothing in the interrupt
handler will recover the state.
Additionally, save/restore %fs and %gs out of sheer paranoia - it's a
cheap enough operation, and may prevent problems due to poorly written
UNDI stacks.
Since we don't know what the UNDI code does, it is safest to
save/restore %eflags even though the lower half of %eflags is
automatically saved by the interrupt itself.

Remove the (unused) option to override _prefix_link_addr,
_textdata_link_addr, _load_addr and _max_align in the linker scripts.
A bug in some versions of ld causes segfaults if the DEFINED() macro
is used in a linker script *and* the -Map option to ld is present.
We don't currently need to override any of these values; if we need to
do so in future then the solution will probably be to always specify
the values on the ld command line, and have the linker script not
define them at all.
Ensure that empty e820 regions are skipped even at the end of the
memory map. (We achieve this by setting CF on the last entry if it is
zero-length; this avoids the need to look ahead to see at each entry
if the *next* entry would be both the last entry and zero-length).
This fixes the "0kB base memory" error message upon starting Windows
2003 on a SunFire X2100.
