3812860e39 [bios] Describe umalloc() heap as an in-use memory area
Use the concept of an in-use memory region defined as part of the
system memory map API to describe the umalloc() heap.

b6f9e4bab0 [uaccess] Remove redundant copy_from_user() and copy_to_user()
Remove the now-redundant copy_from_user() and copy_to_user() wrapper
functions.

839540cb95 [umalloc] Remove userptr_t from user memory allocations
Use standard void pointers for umalloc(), urealloc(), and ufree(),
with the "u" prefix retained to indicate that these allocations are
made from external ("user") memory rather than from the internal heap.

8c31270a21 [uaccess] Remove user_to_phys() and phys_to_user()
Remove the intermediate concept of a user pointer from physical
address conversions, leaving virt_to_phys() and phys_to_virt() as the
directly implemented functions.

89fe788689 [uaccess] Remove redundant memcpy_user() and related string functions
The memcpy_user(), memmove_user(), memcmp_user(), memset_user(), and
strlen_user() functions are now just straightforward wrappers around
the corresponding standard library functions.

Remove these redundant wrappers.

ef03849185 [uaccess] Remove redundant userptr_add() and userptr_diff()
The userptr_add() and userptr_diff() functions are now just
straightforward wrappers around addition and subtraction.

Remove these redundant wrappers.

71174e19d8 [uaccess] Add explicit casts to and from userptr_t where needed
Allow for the possibility of userptr_t becoming a pointer type by
adding explicit casts where necessary.

45a0ca6de2 [pcbios] Fix "out of memory" detection when expanding bottom area
This caused iPXE to reject images even when enough memory was
available.

d3db00ecf9 [pcbios] Restrict external memory allocations to the low 4GB
When running the 64-bit BIOS version of iPXE, restrict external memory
allocations to the low 4GB to ensure that allocations (such as for
initrds) fall within our identity-mapped memory region, and will be
accessible to the potentially 32-bit operating system.

Move largest_memblock() back to memtop_umalloc.c, since this change
imposes a restriction that applies only to BIOS builds.

f468f12b1e [bios] Add bin-x86_64-pcbios build platform
Move most arch/i386 files to arch/x86, and adjust the contents of the
Makefiles and the include/bits/*.h headers to reflect the new
locations.

This patch makes no substantive code changes, as can be seen using a
rename-aware diff (e.g. "git show -M5").

This patch does not make the pcbios platform functional for x86_64; it
merely allows it to compile without errors.
