[smsc75xx] Move RX FIFO overflow message to DBGLVL_EXTRA
RX FIFO overflow is almost inevitable since the (usable) USB2 bus
bandwidth is approximately one quarter of the Ethernet bandwidth.
Avoid flooding the console with RX FIFO overflow messages in a
standard debug build.
With TCP SACK implemented, the RX FIFO overflow no longer causes a
catastrophic drop in throughput. Experimentation shows that HTTP
downloads now progress at a fairly smooth 250Mbps, which is around the
maximum speed attainable for a USB2 NIC.

[smsc75xx] Add driver for SMSC/Microchip LAN75xx USB Ethernet NICs
This driver is functional but any downloads via a TCP-based protocol
tend to perform poorly. The 1Gbps Ethernet line rate is substantially
higher than the 480Mbps (in practice around 280Mbps) provided by USB2,
and the device has only 32kB of internal buffer memory. Our 256kB TCP
receive window therefore rapidly overflows the RX FIFO, leading to
multiple dropped packets (usually within the same TCP window) and
hence a low overall throughput.
Reducing the TCP window size so that the RX FIFO does not overflow
greatly increases throughput, but is not a general-purpose solution.
Further investigation is required to determine how other OSes
(e.g. Linux) cope with this scenario. It is possible that
implementing TCP SACK would provide some benefit.

Most devices expose at least the link up/down status via a bit in a
MAC register, since the MAC generally already needs to know whether or
not the link is up. Some devices (e.g. the SMSC75xx USB NIC) expose
this information to software only via the MII registers.
Provide a generic mii_check_link() implementation to check the BMSR
and report the link status via netdev_link_{up,down}().

[xen] Set the "feature-rx-notify" flag for netfront devices
iPXE already sends RX notifications to the backend when needed, but
does not set the "feature-rx-notify" flag. As of XenServer 6.5, this
flag is mandatory and omitting it will cause the backend to fail.
Fix by setting the "feature-rx-notify" flag, to inform the backend
that we will send notifications.

At some point in the past few years, binutils became more aggressive
at removing unused symbols. To function as a symbol requirement, a
relocation record must now be in a section marked with @progbits and
must not be in a section which gets discarded during the link (either
via --gc-sections or via /DISCARD/).
Update REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to generate relocation records meeting these
criteria. To minimise the impact upon the final binary size, we use
existing symbols (specified via the REQUIRING_SYMBOL() macro) as the
relocation targets where possible. We use R_386_NONE or R_X86_64_NONE
relocation types to prevent any actual unwanted relocation taking
place. Where no suitable symbol exists for REQUIRING_SYMBOL() (such
as in config.c), the macro PROVIDE_REQUIRING_SYMBOL() can be used to
generate a one-byte-long symbol to act as the relocation target.
If there are versions of binutils for which this approach fails, then
the fallback will probably involve killing off REQUEST_SYMBOL(),
redefining REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to use the current definition of
REQUEST_SYMBOL(), and postprocessing the linked ELF file with
something along the lines of "nm -u | wc -l" to check that there are
no undefined symbols remaining.

[xhci] Leak memory if controller fails to disable slot
If the Disable Slot command fails then the hardware may continue to
write to the slot context. Leak the memory used by the slot context
to avoid future memory corruption.
This situation has been observed in practice when a Set Address
command fails, causing the command ring to become temporarily
unresponsive.
Note that there is no need to similarly leak memory on the failure
path in xhci_device_open(), since in the event of a failure the
hardware is never informed of the slot context address.

[usb] Handle port status changes received after failing to find a driver
Commit a60f2dd ("[usb] Try multiple USB device configurations")
changed the behaviour of register_usb() such that if no drivers are
found then the device will be closed and the memory used will be
freed.
If a port status change subsequently occurs while the device is still
physically attached, then usb_hotplug() will see this as a new device
having been attached, since there is no device recorded as being
currently attached to the port. This can lead to spurious hotplug
events (or even endless loops of hotplug events, if the process of
opening and closing the device happens to generate a port status
change).
Fix by using a separate flag to indicate that a device is physically
attached (even if we have no corresponding struct usb_device).

[xhci] Delay after (possibly) forcing port link state to RxDetect
Some xHCI controllers (observed with a Renesas Electronics PCIe USB3
card) seem to require a delay after forcing the link state of USB3
ports to RxDetect. Omitting this delay causes strange behaviour
including system lockups.
Add an unconditional 20ms delay after writing the port link states.

Some devices have a very small number of internal buffers, and rely on
being able to pack multiple packets into each buffer. Using 2048-byte
buffers on such devices produces throughput of around 100Mbps. Using
a small number of much larger buffers (e.g. 32kB) increases the
throughput to around 780Mbps. (The full 1Gbps is not reached because
the high RTT induced by the use of multi-packet buffers causes us to
saturate our 256kB TCP window.)
Since allocation of large buffers is very likely to fail, allocate the
buffer set only once when the device is opened and recycle buffers
immediately after use. Received data is now always copied to
per-packet buffers.
If allocation of large buffers fails, fall back to allocating a larger
number of smaller buffers. This will give reduced performance, but
the device will at least still be functional.
Share code between the interrupt and bulk IN endpoint handlers, since
the buffer handling is now very similar.

[hyperv] Assume that VMBus xfer page ranges correspond to RNDIS messages
The (undocumented) VMBus protocol seems to allow for transfer
page-based packets where the data payload is split into an arbitrary
set of ranges within the transfer page set.
The RNDIS protocol includes a length field within the header of each
message, and it is known from observation that multiple RNDIS messages
can be concatenated into a single VMBus message.
iPXE currently assumes that the transfer page range boundaries are
entirely arbitrary, and uses the RNDIS header length to determine the
RNDIS message boundaries.
Windows Server 2012 R2 generates an RNDIS_INDICATE_STATUS_MSG for an
undocumented and unknown status code (0x40020006) with a malformed
RNDIS header length: the length does not cover the StatusBuffer
portion of the message. This causes iPXE to report a malformed RNDIS
message and to discard any further RNDIS messages within the same
VMBus message.
The Linux Hyper-V driver assumes that the transfer page range
boundaries correspond to RNDIS message boundaries, and so does not
notice the malformed length field in the RNDIS header.
Match the behaviour of the Linux Hyper-V driver: assume that the
transfer page range boundaries correspond to the RNDIS message
boundaries and ignore the RNDIS header length. This avoids triggering
the "malformed packet" error and also avoids unnecessary data copying:
since we now have one I/O buffer per RNDIS message, there is no longer
any need to use iob_split().

[hyperv] Tear down NetVSC RX buffer GPADL after closing VMBus device
On Windows Server 2012 R2, the receive buffer teardown completion
message seems to occasionally be deferred until after the VMBus
channel has been closed. This happens even if there are no packets
currently in the receive buffer.
Work around this problem by separating the revocation and teardown of
the receive buffer, and deferring the teardown until after the VMBus
channel has been closed.

[intel] Use autoloaded MAC address instead of EEPROM MAC address
The i350 (and possibly other Intel NICs) have a non-trivial
correspondence between the PCI function number and the external
physical port number. For example, the i350 has a "LAN Function Sel"
bit within the EEPROM which can invert the mapping so that function 0
becomes port 3, function 1 becomes port 2, etc.
Unfortunately the MAC addresses within the EEPROM are indexed by
physical port number rather than PCI function number. The end result
is that when anything other than the default mapping is used, iPXE
will use the wrong address as the base MAC address.
Fix by using the autoloaded MAC address if it is valid, and falling
back to reading the MAC address directly from the EEPROM only if no
autoloaded address is available.
