e960fac8d0 [multiboot] Work around raw-flag bug in Solaris kernels
Solaris kernels are multiboot images with the "raw" flag set,
indicating that the loader should use the raw address fields within
the multiboot header rather than looking for an ELF header.  However,
the Solaris kernel contains garbage data in the raw address fields,
and requires us to use the ELF header instead.

Work around this by always using the ELF header if present.  This
renders the "raw" flag somewhat redundant.

b59e0cc56e [i386] Change [u]int32_t to [unsigned] int, rather than [unsigned] long
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.

54fbd11221 [build] Keep gcc 4.4 happy
gcc 4.4 adds another few warnings, and also seems to complain if we
place %ebp in the clobber list for any inline asm.

2e03610c0d [multiboot] Allow for unspecified {load,bss}_end_addr for raw images
The multiboot specification states that, for raw images, if
load_end_addr is zero then it should be interpreted as meaning "use
the entire file", and if bss_end_addr is zero it should be interpreted
as meaning "no bss".

03c80c12b8 [iSCSI] Support Windows Server 2008 direct iSCSI installation
Add yet another ugly hack to iscsiboot.c, this time to allow the user to
inhibit the shutdown/removal of the iSCSI INT13 device (and the network
devices, since they are required for the iSCSI device to function).

On the plus side, the fact that shutdown() now takes flags to
differentiate between shutdown-for-exit and shutdown-for-boot means that
another ugly hack (to allow returning via the PXE stack on BIOSes that
have broken INT 18 calls) will be easier.

I feel dirty.

otherwise.  :(

d4947c05b2 Allow images to hold references to the originating URI.
Some shuffling around of the image management code; this needs tidying up.

list.

Added FEATURE() macros to most relevant (non-driver) files.

e4c6418ac0 We may be required to page-align modules, so let's make sure we catch
it if we don't.

f59ad50504 Provide registration mechanism for loaded images, so that we can e.g.
refer to them by name from the command line, or build them into a
multiboot module list.

Use setting image->type to disambiguate between "not my image" and "bad
image"; this avoids relying on specific values of the error code.
