The peerdist_msg_blk() macro seems to have been introduced in the
original commit that added pccrr.h, but this macro was never used by
the version of the code present in that commit.
Remove this unused macro and the corresponding nonexistent external
function declaration.

Since all data transfer buffer contents are now accessible via direct
pointer dereferences, remove the unnecessary abstractions for read and
write operations and create two new data transfer buffer types: a
fixed-size buffer, and a void buffer that records its size but can
never receive non-zero lengths of data. These replace the custom data
buffer types currently implemented for EFI PXE TFTP downloads and for
block device translations.
A new operation xferbuf_detach() is required to take ownership of the
data accumulated in the data transfer buffer, since we no longer rely
on the existence of an independently owned external data pointer for
data transfer buffers allocated via umalloc().

Commit ef03849 ("[uaccess] Remove redundant userptr_add() and
userptr_diff()") exposed a signedness bug in the comparison of initrd
locations, since the expression (initrd->data - current) was
effectively no longer coerced to a signed type.
In particular, the common case will be that the top of the initrd
region is the start of the iPXE .textdata region, which has virtual
address zero. This causes initrd->data to compare as being above the
top of the initrd region for all images, when this bug would
previously have been limited to affecting only initrds placed 2GB or
more below the start of .textdata.
Fix by using physical addresses for all comparisons on initrd
locations.

GCC 15 generates a warning when a string initializer is too large to
allow for a trailing NUL terminator byte. This type of initializer is
fairly common in signature strings such as ACPI table identifiers.
Fix by disabling the warning.

The legacy NIC drivers do not consistently take a second parameter in
their disable function. We currently use an unsafe function wrapper
that declares no parameters, and rely on the ABI allowing a second
parameter to be silently ignored if not expected by the caller. As of
GCC 15, this hack results in an incompatible pointer type warning.
Fix by removing the hack, and instead updating all relevant legacy NIC
drivers to take an unused second parameter in their disable function.

GCC 15 defaults to C23, which reserves bool, true, and false as
keywords. Avoid using these as parameter or variable names.

Scrolling currently involves redrawing every character cell, which can
be frustratingly slow on large framebuffer consoles. Accelerate this
operation by skipping the redraw for any unchanged character cells.
In the common case that large areas of the screen contain whitespace,
this optimises away the vast majority of the redrawing operations.

Simplify the framebuffer console drivers by assuming that the raw
framebuffer, character cell array, background picture, and glyph data
are all directly accessible via pointer dereferences.
In particular, this avoids the need to copy each glyph during drawing:
the VESA framebuffer driver can simply return a pointer to the glyph
data stored in the video ROM.

Simplify the SMBIOS structure parsing code by assuming that all
structure content is fully accessible via pointer dereferences.
In particular, this allows the convoluted find_smbios_structure() and
read_smbios_structure() to be combined into a single function
smbios_structure() that just returns a direct pointer to the SMBIOS
structure, with smbios_string() similarly now returning a direct
pointer to the relevant string.
