Michael Brown ca85200809 [virtio] Replace the virtio core and network device driver 
The existing virtio network driver has been somewhat hacked together
over the past two decades by multiple contributors, and includes a
substantial amount of logic that is almost but not quite duplicated
between the "legacy" and "modern" code paths.

Rip out the existing driver and replace with a completely new driver
written based on the Virtual I/O Device specification document, not
derived from the Linux kernel driver.

iPXE network bootloader

Build Coverity Release

iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:

  • boot from a web server via HTTP or HTTPS,

  • boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE SAN,

  • control the boot process with a script,

  • create interactive forms and menus.

You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card, or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without the hassle of reflashing.

iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with some portions under GPL-compatible licences).

You can download the rolling release binaries (built from the latest commit), or use the most recent stable release.

For full documentation, visit the iPXE website.
