Shifting all INT13 drive numbers causes problems on systems that use a
sparse drive number space (e.g. qemu BIOS, which uses 0xe0 for the CD-ROM
drive).
The strategy now is:
Each drive is assigned a "natural" drive number, being the next
available drive number in the system (based on the BIOS drive count).
Each drive is accessed using its specified drive number. If the
specified drive number is -1, the natural drive number will be used.
Accesses to the specified drive number will be delivered to the
emulated drive, masking out any preexisting drive using this number.
Accesses to the natural drive number, if different, will be remapped to
the masked-out drive.
The overall upshot is that, for examples:
System has no drives. Emulated INT13 drive gets natural number 0x80
and specified number 0x80. Accesses to drive 0x80 go to the emulated
drive, and there is no remapping.
System has one drive. Emulated INT13 drive gets natural number 0x81
and specified number 0x80. Accesses to drive 0x80 go to the emulated
drive. Accesses to drive 0x81 get remapped to the original drive 0x80.
defined in vsprintf.h. (This may change, since vsprintf.h is a
non-standard name, but for now it's the one to use.)
There should be no need to include vsprintf.h just for DBG() statements,
since include/compiler.h forces it in for a debug build anyway.
Allow our functions to return a non-zero, non-error status (since the
INT 13 Extensions Check has to return the API version in the register
that is otherwise always used for the error code).
Report a non-zero API version from the INT 13 Extensions Check; GRUB
now uses extended reads.
Tidied up debug messages; the log now contains one line per INT 13
operation, looking like
INT 13,08 (80): Get drive parameters
INT 13,02 (80): Read: C/H/S 0/47/14 = LBA 0xb9e <-> 1084:0000 (count 106)
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).
