[pxe] Introduce PXE exit hook for NBP chaining
It might be the case that we wish to chain to an NBP without being "in the way". We now implement a hook in our exit path for gPXE *.*pxe build targets. The hook is a pointer to a SEG16:OFF16 which we try to jump to during exit. By default, this pointer results in the usual exit path. We also implement the "pxenv_file_exit_hook" PXE API routine to allow the user to specify an alternate SEG16:OFF16 to jump to during exit. Unfortunately, this additional PXE extension has a cost in code size. Fortunately, a look at the size difference for a gPXE .rom build target shows zero size difference after compression. The routine is documented in doc/pxe_extensions as follows: FILE EXIT HOOK Op-Code: PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK (00e7h) Input: Far pointer to a t_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK parameter structure that has been initialized by the caller. Output: PXENV_EXIT_SUCCESS or PXENV_EXIT_FAILURE must be returned in AX. The Status field in the parameter structure must be set to one of the values represented by the PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants. Description:Modify the exit path to jump to the specified code. Only valid for pxeprefix-based builds. typedef struct s_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK { PXENV_STATUS_t Status; SEGOFF16_t Hook; } t_PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK; Set before calling API service: Hook: The SEG16:OFF16 of the code to jump to. Returned from API service: Status: See PXENV_STATUS_xxx constants. Requested-by: H.
