Michael Brown 824d6ffa7f Header rearrangement.
I want to get to the point where any header in include/ reflects a
standard user-level header (e.g. a POSIX header), while everything that's
specific to gPXE lives in include/gpxe/.  Headers that reflect a Linux
header (e.g. if_ether.h) should also be in include/gpxe/, with the same
name as the Linux header and, preferably, the same names used for the
definitions.

* Background protocols
*
* Some protocols (e.g. ARP, IGMP) operate in the background; the
* upper layers are not aware of their operation. When an ARP query
* for the local station's IP address arrives, Etherboot must reply to
* it regardless of what other operations are currently in progress.
*
* Background protocols are called in two circumstances: when
* Etherboot is about to poll for a packet, and when Etherboot has
* received a packet that the upper layer (whatever that may currently
* be) isn't interested in.
