Various features and parameters of a pv-kernel are specified via
elf notes in the kernel image. Those notes are part of the interface
between the Xen hypervisor and the kernel.
Instead of using num,bers in the code when interpreting the elf notes
make use of the header supplied by Xen for that purpose.

Currently multiboot2 protocol loads image exactly at address specified in
ELF or multiboot2 header. This solution works quite well on legacy BIOS
platforms. It is possible because memory regions are placed at predictable
addresses (though I was not able to find any spec which says that it is
strong requirement, so, it looks that it is just a goodwill of hardware
designers). However, EFI platforms are more volatile. Even if required
memory regions live at specific addresses then they are sometimes simply
not free (e.g. used by boot/runtime services on Dell PowerEdge R820 and
OVMF). This means that you are not able to just set up final image
destination on build time. You have to provide method to relocate image
contents to real load address which is usually different than load address
specified in ELF and multiboot2 headers.
This patch provides all needed machinery to do self relocation in image code.
First of all GRUB2 reads min_addr (min. load addr), max_addr (max. load addr),
align (required image alignment), preference (it says which memory regions are
preferred by image, e.g. none, low, high) from multiboot_header_tag_relocatable
header tag contained in binary (at this stage load addresses from multiboot2
and/or ELF headers are ignored). Later loader tries to fulfill request (not only
that one) and if it succeeds then it informs image about real load address via
multiboot_tag_load_base_addr tag. At this stage GRUB2 role is finished. Starting
from now executable must cope with relocations itself using whole static and
dynamic knowledge provided by boot loader.
This patch does not provide functionality which could do relocations using
ELF relocation data. However, I was asked by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk and Vladimir
'phcoder' Serbinenko to investigate that thing. It looks that relevant machinery
could be added to existing code (including this patch) without huge effort.
Additionally, ELF relocation could live in parallel with self relocation provided
by this patch. However, during research I realized that first of all we should
establish the details how ELF relocatable image should look like and how it should
be build. At least to build proper test/example files.
So, this patch just provides support for self relocatable images. If ELF file
with relocs is loaded then GRUB2 complains loudly and ignores it. Support for
such files will be added later.
This patch was tested with Xen image which uses that functionality. However, this Xen
feature is still under development and new patchset will be released in about 2-3 weeks.

Add grub_relocator64_efi relocator. It will be used on EFI 64-bit platforms
when multiboot2 compatible image requests MULTIBOOT_TAG_TYPE_EFI_BS. Relocator
will set lower parts of %rax and %rbx accordingly to multiboot2 specification.
On the other hand processor mode, just before jumping into loaded image, will
be set accordingly to Unified Extensible Firmware Interface Specification,
Version 2.4 Errata B, section 2.3.4, x64 Platforms, boot services. This way
loaded image will be able to use EFI boot services without any issues.

util/grub-mkimagexx.c is included in a special way into mkimage.c.
Interoperation between defines makes this very tricky. Instead
just have a clean interface and compile util/grub-mkimage*.c separately
from mkimage.c
ipv6 routing in grub2 is broken, we cannot talk to anything outside our local
network or anything that doesn't route in our global namespace. This patch
fixes this by doing a couple of things
1) Read the router information off of the router advertisement. If we have a
router lifetime we need to take the source address and create a route from it.
2) Changes the routing stuff slightly to allow you to specify a gateway _and_ an
interface. Since the router advertisements come in on the link local address we
need to associate it with the global address on the card. So when we are
processing the router advertisement, either use the SLAAC interface we create
and add the route to that interface, or loop through the global addresses we
currently have on our interface and associate it with one of those addresses.
We need to have a special case here for the default route so that it gets used,
we do this by setting the masksize to 0 to mean it encompasses all networks.
The routing code will automatically select the best route so if there is a
closer match we will use that.
With this patch I can now talk to ipv6 addresses outside of my local network.

Recent tests have discovered that many of our filesystems have flawed
handling of "." and "..". Rather than attempting to fix it in filesystems
themselves, make the common code fshelp aware of "." and ".." and handle
them in this layer. Add grub_fshelp_find_file_lookup for easy conversion
of BFS, HFS and exFAT which have the same problem and don't use fshelp.

In the past birth was always zero for holes. This feature started
to make use of birth for holes as well, so change code to test for
valid DVA address instead.
This restrict ARP handling to MAC and IP addresses but in practice we need
only this case anyway and other cases are very rar if exist at all. It makes
code much simpler and less error-prone.
