Using efi_devpath_text() is marginally more efficient if we already
have the device path protocol available, but the mild increase in
efficiency is not worth compromising the clarity of the pattern:
DBGC ( device, "THING %p %s ...", device, efi_handle_name ( device ) );

We currently treat network devices as available for use via the SNP
API only if RX queue processing has been frozen. (This is similar in
spirit to the way that RX queue processing is frozen for the network
device currently exposed via the PXE API.)
The default state of a freshly created network device is for the RX
queue to not be frozen, and thus to be unavailable for use via SNP.
This causes problems when devices are added through code paths other
than _efidrv_start() (which explicitly releases devices for use via
SNP).
We don't actually need to freeze RX queue processing, since calls via
the SNP API will always use netdev_poll() rather than net_poll(), and
so will never trigger the RX queue processing code path anyway.
We can therefore simplify the code to use a single global flag to
indicate whether network devices are claimed for use by iPXE or
available for use via SNP. Using a global flag allows the default
state for dynamically created network devices to behave sensibly.

Some UEFI builds will set up a timer to continuously poll any SNP
devices. This can drain packets from the network device's receive
queue before iPXE gets a chance to process them.
Use netdev_rx_[un]freeze() to explicitly indicate when we expect our
network devices to be driven via the external SNP API (as we do with
the UNDI API on the standard BIOS build), and disable the SNP API
except when receive queue processing is frozen.

Exploit the redefinition of iPXE error codes to include a "platform
error code" to allow for meaningful conversion of EFI_STATUS values to
iPXE errors and vice versa.

When iPXE is used as a UEFI driver, the UEFI PXE base code currently
provides the TCP/IP stack, network protocols, and user interface.
This represents a substantial downgrade from the standard BIOS iPXE
user experience.
Fix by installing our own EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL implementation which
initiates the standard iPXE boot procedure. This upgrades the UEFI
iPXE user experience to match the standard BIOS iPXE user experience.

eIPoIB requires space to expand a transmitted ARP packet. This
guarantee is met by ensuring that a transmitted packet consists of at
least MAX_LL_HEADER_LEN bytes from the start of the I/O buffer up to
the end of the link-layer header, and at least IOB_ZLEN bytes
thereafter.
Adjust the I/O buffer allocation for SNP transmitted packets to ensure
that this guarantee is met.

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.

There is no explicit SNP API call to determine link state; the SNP
interface user may check the MediaPresent field within the mode data
at any time.
Update the MediaPresent field whenever the link state changes.

Re-open the EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL specifying an Attributes value of
EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_BY_CHILD_CONTROLLER. This causes the SNP devices to
be marked as children of the EFI PCI device (as shown in the "devtree"
command).
On at least one IBM blade system, this is required in order to have
the relevant drivers automatically attach to the SNP controller at
device creation time.

EFI performs its own PCI bus enumeration. Respect this, and start
controlling devices only when instructed to do so by EFI.
As a side benefit, we should now correctly create multiple SNP
instances for multi-port devices.
This should also fix the problem of failing to enumerate devices
because the PCI bridges have not yet been enabled at the time the iPXE
driver is loaded.

IPoIB has a 20-byte link-layer address, of which only eight bytes
represent anything relating to a "hardware address".
The PXE and EFI SNP APIs expect the permanent address to be the same
size as the link-layer address, so fill in the "permanent address"
field with the initial link layer address (as generated by
register_netdev() based upon the real hardware address).
The hardware address is an intrinsic property of the hardware, while
the link-layer address can be changed at runtime. This separation is
exposed via APIs such as PXE and EFI, but is currently elided by gPXE.
Expose the hardware and link-layer addresses as separate properties
within a net device. Drivers should now fill in hw_addr, which will
be used to initialise ll_addr at the time of calling
register_netdev().
IPoIB has a link-layer broadcast address that varies according to the
partition key. We currently go through several contortions to pretend
that the link-layer address is a fixed constant; by making the
broadcast address a property of the network device rather than the
link-layer protocol it will be possible to simplify IPoIB's broadcast
handling.
In order to construct outgoing link-layer frames or parse incoming
ones properly, some protocols (such as 802.11) need more state than is
available in the existing variables passed to the link-layer protocol
handlers. To remedy this, add struct net_device *netdev as the first
argument to each of these functions, so that more information can be
fetched from the link layer-private part of the network device.
Updated all three call sites (netdevice.c, efi_snp.c, pxe_undi.c) and
both implementations (ethernet.c, ipoib.c) of ll_protocol to use the
new argument.

There are many functions that take ownership of the I/O buffer they
are passed as a parameter. The caller should not retain a pointer to
the I/O buffer. Use iob_disown() to automatically nullify the
caller's pointer, e.g.:
xfer_deliver_iob ( xfer, iob_disown ( iobuf ) );
This will ensure that iobuf is set to NULL for any code after the call
to xfer_deliver_iob().
iob_disown() is currently used only in places where it simplifies the
code, by avoiding an extra line explicitly setting the I/O buffer
pointer to NULL. It should ideally be used with each call to any
function that takes ownership of an I/O buffer. (The SSA
optimisations will ensure that use of iob_disown() gets optimised away
in cases where the caller makes no further use of the I/O buffer
pointer anyway.)
If gcc ever introduces an __attribute__((free)), indicating that use
of a function argument after a function call should generate a
warning, then we should use this to identify all applicable function
call sites, and add iob_disown() as necessary.
At some point, it seems that someone decided to change the GUID for
the EFI_NETWORK_INTERFACE_IDENTIFIER_PROTOCOL. Current EFI builds
ignore the older GUID, older EFI builds ignore the newer GUID, so we
have to expose both.
Include a minimal component name protocol so that the driver name
shows up as something other than "<UNKNOWN>" in the driver list, and a
device path protocol so that the network interface shows up as a
separate device in the device list, rather than being attached
directly to the PCI device.
Incidentally, the EFI component name protocol reaches new depths for
signal-to-noise ratio in program code. A typical instance within the
EFI development kit will use an additional 300 lines of code to
provide slightly less functionality than GNU gettext achieves with
three additional characters.
EFI_STATUS is defined as an INTN, which maps to UINT32 (i.e. unsigned
int) on i386 and UINT64 (i.e. unsigned long) on x86_64. This would
require a cast each time the error status is printed.
Add efi_strerror() to avoid this ickiness and simultaneously enable
prettier reporting of EFI status codes.
This brings us in to line with Linux definitions, and also simplifies
adding x86_64 support since both platforms have 2-byte shorts, 4-byte
ints and 8-byte long longs.
netdev_rx_err() and netdev_tx_complete_err() get passed the error
code, but currently use it only in debug messages.
Retain error numbers and frequencey counts for up to
NETDEV_MAX_UNIQUE_ERRORS (4) different errors for each of TX and RX.
This allows the "ifstat" command to report the reasons for TX/RX
errors in most cases, even in non-debug builds.
