The LACP responder reuses the received I/O buffer to construct the
response LACP (or marker) packet. Any received padding will therefore
be unintentionally included within the response.
Truncate the received I/O buffer to the expected length (which is
already defined in a way to allow for future protocol expansion)
before reusing it to construct the response.

Some external drivers (observed with the UEFI NII driver provided by
an HPE-branded Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro) seem to cause LACP packets
transmitted by iPXE to be looped back as received packets. Since
iPXE's trivial LACP responder will send one response per received
packet, this results in an immediate LACP packet storm.
Detect looped back LACP packets (based on the received LACP actor MAC
address), and refuse to respond to such packets.

The blocked link test in eth_slow_lacp_rx() is performed before the
actor TLV is copied to the partner TLV, and so must test the actor
state field rather than the partner state field.

Mark the link as blocked if the LACP partner is not reporting itself
as being in sync, collecting, and distributing.
This matches the behaviour for STP: we mark the link as blocked if we
detect that the switch is actively blocking traffic, in order to
extend the DHCP discovery period and so prevent boot failures on
switches that take an excessively long time to enable ports.

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).

Some switches do not allow an individual link (as defined in IEEE Std
802.3ad-2000 section 43.3.5) to work alone in a link aggregation group
as described in section 43.3.6. This is verified on Dell's
PowerConnect M6220, based on the Broadcom Strata XGS-IV chipset.
Set the LACP_STATE_AGGREGATABLE flag in the actor.state field to
announce link aggregation in the response LACPDU, which will have the
switch enable the link aggregation group and allow frames to pass.

Allow the link layer to directly report whether or not a packet is
multicast or broadcast at the time of calling pull(), rather than
relying on heuristics to determine this at a later stage.

FCoE requires the use of fabric-provided MAC addresses, which breaks
the assumption that the net device's MAC address is implicitly the
source address for net_tx() and the (unicast) destination address for
net_rx().

Declarations without the accompanying __table_entry cause misalignment
of the table entries when using gcc 4.5. Fix by adding the
appropriate __table_entry macro or (where possible) by removing
unnecessary forward declarations.

Some switch configurations will refuse to enable our port unless we
can speak LACP to inform the switch that we are alive. Add a very
simple passive LACP implementation that is sufficient to convince at
least Linux's bonding driver (when tested using qemu attached to a tap
device enslaved to a bond device configured as "mode=802.3ad").
