When CONSOLE_SYSLOG is used, a DBG() from within a network device
driver may cause its transmit() or poll() methods to be unexpectedly
re-entered. Since these methods are not intended to be re-entrant,
this can lead to undefined behaviour.
Add an explicit re-entrancy guard to both methods. Note that this
must operate at a per-netdevice level, since there are legitimate
circumstances under which the netdev_tx() or netdev_poll() functions
may be re-entered (e.g. when using VLAN devices).

Include a potential DMA mapping within the definition of an I/O
buffer, and move all I/O buffer DMA mapping functions from dma.h to
iobuf.h. This avoids the need for drivers to maintain a separate list
of DMA mappings for each I/O buffer that they may handle.
Network device drivers typically do not keep track of transmit I/O
buffers, since the network device core already maintains a transmit
queue. Drivers will typically call netdev_tx_complete_next() to
complete a transmission without first obtaining the relevant I/O
buffer pointer (and will rely on the network device core automatically
cancelling any pending transmissions when the device is closed).
To allow this driver design approach to be retained, update the
netdev_tx_complete() family of functions to automatically perform the
DMA unmapping operation if required. For symmetry, also update the
netdev_rx() family of functions to behave the same way.
As a further convenience for drivers, allow the network device core to
automatically perform DMA mapping on the transmit datapath before
calling the driver's transmit() method. This avoids the need to
introduce a mapping error handling code path into the typically
error-free transmit methods.
With these changes, the modifications required to update a typical
network device driver to use the new DMA API are fairly minimal:
- Allocate and free descriptor rings and similar coherent structures
using dma_alloc()/dma_free() rather than malloc_phys()/free_phys()
- Allocate and free receive buffers using alloc_rx_iob()/free_rx_iob()
rather than alloc_iob()/free_iob()
- Calculate DMA addresses using dma() or iob_dma() rather than
virt_to_bus()
- Set a 64-bit DMA mask if needed using dma_set_mask_64bit() and
thereafter eliminate checks on DMA address ranges
- Either record the DMA device in netdev->dma, or call iob_map_tx() as
part of the transmit() method
- Ensure that debug messages use virt_to_phys() when displaying
"hardware" addresses

Separate out the concept of "hardware maximum supported frame length"
and "configured link MTU", and limit the latter according to the
former.
In networks where the DHCP-supplied link MTU is inconsistent with the
hardware or driver capabilities (e.g. a network using jumbo frames),
this will result in iPXE advertising a TCP MSS consistent with a size
that can actually be received.
Note that the term "MTU" is typically used to refer to the maximum
length excluding the link-layer headers; we adopt this usage.

VLAN and 802.11 devices use a network device operations structure that
wraps an underlying structure. For example, the vlan_operations
structure wraps the network device operations structure of the
underlying trunk device. This can cause false positives from the
current implementation of netdev_irq_supported(), which will always
report that VLAN devices support interrupts since it has no visibility
into the support provided by the underlying trunk device.
Fix by allowing network devices to explicitly flag that interrupts are
not supported, despite the presence of an irq() method.

When Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is used, there may be a substantial
delay (tens of seconds) from the time that the link goes up to the
time that the port starts forwarding packets.
Add a generic concept of a "blocked link" (i.e. a link which is up but
which is not expected to communicate successfully), and allow "ifstat"
to indicate when a link is blocked.

These files cannot be automatically relicensed by util/relicense.pl
since they either contain unusual but trivial contributions (such as
the addition of __nonnull function attributes), or contain lines
dating back to the initial git revision (and so require manual
knowledge of the code's origin).

Reject network devices which appear to be duplicates of those already
available via a different underlying hardware device. On a Xen PV-HVM
system, this allows us to filter out the emulated PCI NICs (which
would otherwise appear alongside the netfront NICs).
Note that we cannot use the Xen facility to "unplug" the emulated PCI
NICs, since there is no guarantee that the OS we subsequently load
will have a native netfront driver.
We permit devices with the same MAC address if they are attached to
the same underlying hardware device (e.g. VLAN devices).

iPXE supports multiple mechanisms for network device configuration:
DHCPv4 for IPv4, FIP for FCoE, and SLAAC for IPv6. At present, DHCPv4
requires an explicit action (e.g. a "dhcp" command), FIP is initiated
implicitly upon opening a network device, and SLAAC takes place
whenever a RA happens to be received.
Add a generic concept of a network device configurator, which provides
a common interface to triggering configuration and to reporting the
result of the configuration process.

IPv6 link-local socket addresses require some way to specify a local
network device. We cannot simply use a pointer to the network device,
since a struct sockaddr_in6 may be long-lived and has no way to hold a
reference to the network device.
Using a network device index allows a socket address to cleanly refer
to a network device without worrying about whether or not that device
continues to exist.

Almost all clients of the raw-packet interfaces (UNDI and SNP) can
handle only Ethernet link layers. Expose an Ethernet-compatible link
layer to local clients, while remaining compatible with IPoIB on the
wire. This requires manipulation of ARP (but not DHCP) packets within
the IPoIB driver.
This is ugly, but it's the only viable way to allow IPoIB devices to
be driven via the raw-packet interfaces.

Several use cases (e.g. the UNDI API and the EFI SNP API) require
access to the raw network device receive queue, and so currently use
manual calls to netdev_poll() on a specific network device in order to
prevent received packets from being processed by the network stack.
As an alternative, provide a flag that allows receive queue processing
to be frozen on a per-device basis. When receive queue processing is
frozen, packets will be enqueued as normal, but will not be
automatically dequeued and passed up the network stack.
