Allow for the existence of references to IPv6 setting types without

The fetch_setting() family of functions may currently modify the
definition of the specified setting (e.g. to add missing type

an explicit buffer to contain the completed definition of the fetched

There is no requirement for VBE modes to be listed in increasing order
of resolution. With the present logic, this can cause e.g. a 1024x768
mode to be selected if the user asks for 640x480, if the 1024x768 mode
is earlier in the mode list.
Define a scoring system for modes as
score = ( width * height - bpp )
and choose the mode with the lowest score among all acceptable modes.
This should prefer to choose the mode closest to the requested
resolution, with a slight preference for higher colour depths.

Add support for the stateful and stateless variants of the DHCPv6
protocol. The resulting settings block is registered as
"net<x>.dhcpv6", and DHCPv6 options can be obtained using
e.g. "${net0.dhcpv6/23:ipv6}" to obtain the IPv6 DNS server address.
IPv6 addresses obtained via stateful DHCPv6 are not yet applied to the
network device.

The retrieval of the cached DHCPACK and the creation of network
devices are both currently scheduled as STARTUP_NORMAL. It is
therefore possible that the cached DHCPACK will not be retrieved in
time for cachedhcp_probe() to apply it to the relevant network device.
Fix by retrieving the cached DHCPACK at initialisation time rather
than at startup time.
As an optimisation, an unclaimed cached DHCPACK can be freed
immediately after the last network device has been created, rather
than waiting until shutdown.

Include IPv6 within the generic network device configurator

prior to sending the router solicitation.)

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.

When chainloading, always retrieve the cached DHCPACK packet from the
underlying PXE stack, and apply it as the original contents of the
"net<X>.dhcp" settings block. This allows cached DHCP settings to be
used for any chainloaded iPXE binary (not just undionly.kkpxe).
This change eliminates the undocumented "use-cached" setting. Issuing
the "dhcp" command will now always result in a fresh DHCP request.

Commit 238050d ("[build] Work around bug in gcc >= 4.8") works around
one instance of a bug in recent versions of gcc, in which "ebp" cannot

Some versions of gcc seem to exhibit the same bug on other points in
the codebase. Fix by changing all instances of "ebp" in a clobber
list to use the push/pop %ebp workaround instead.

The path MTU is currently hardcoded to 1460 bytes, which fails to
allow space for TCP options. Sending a maximum-sized datagram (which
is viable when using HTTP POST) will therefore fail since the Ethernet
MTU will be exceeded.
Reduce the hardcoded path MTU to produce a maximum datagram of 1280
bytes, which is the size required of data link layers by IPv6. It is
a reasonable assumption that all intermediary data link layers will be
able to convey this packet without fragmentation, even for IPv4.
Note that this reduction has a minimal impact upon download
throughput, since it affects only the transmit data path.

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

to a network device without worrying about whether or not that device
continues to exist.
