d48d0fb1bb Add the concept of a "user pointer" (similar to the void __user * in
the kernel), which encapsulates the information needed to refer to an
external buffer.  Under normal operation, this can just be a void *
equivalent, but under -DKEEP_IT_REAL it would be a segoff_t equivalent.

Use this concept to avoid the need for bounce buffers in int13.c,
which reduces memory usage and opens up the possibility of using
multi-sector reads.

Extend the block-device API and the SCSI block device implementation
to support multi-sector reads.

Update iscsi.c to use user buffers.

Move the obsolete portions of realmode.h to old_realmode.h.

MS-DOS now boots an order of magnitude faster over iSCSI (~10 seconds
from power-up to C:> prompt in bochs).

295e11b2b0 Add INT 13,41 (extensions installation check). LILO's MBR now uses
linear calls to load the MS-DOS boot sector in my test setup.

6e42cb95bd Also capture INT 19 as a failure path, to allow for boot sectors that
don't conform to BBS (e.g. the one created by mkdosfs).

4435667a00 Add int13_boot(), to allow booting from INT 13 emulated drives. 2006-05-14 13:44:47 +00:00

d2c22ec9bb Add INT 13 emulation layer (which provides an interface to gPXE block
devices).
