At work we have a single tftp server that provides installation data for
a variety of operating systems. I'd rather place our FreeBSD-related
files in a subdirectory, instead of the root.
It would be nice if this setting could be run-time configurable, but at
least in our specific case, this is not possible, as pxeboot is
chainloaded through pxelinux.

(1) Coding style changes.
(2) If the server does not acknowledge any blocksize option,
revert to the default blocksize of 512 bytes.
(3) Send ACK if the first packet happens to be the last packet.
(4) Do not accept blocksize greater than what was requested.
(5) Drop any unwanted OACK received if a tftp transfer is already
in progress.
(6) Terminate incomplete transfers with a special no-error ERROR packet.
Otherwise we rely on the tftp server to time out, which it does
eventually, after re-sending the last packet several times and spamming
the system log about it every time. This idea is borrowed from the
PXE client, which does exactly that.

- Given that we tell the compiler that struct ip is packed and 32-bit
aligned, GCC 4.2.1 also generates code for sendudp() that assumes
this alignment. GCC 4.2.1 however doesn't 32-bit align wbuf, causing
the loader to crash due to an unaligned access of wbuf in sendudp()
when netbooting sparc64. Solve this by specifying wbuf as packed and
32-bit aligned, too. As for lastdata and readudp() this currently is
no issue when compiled with GCC 4.2.1, though give lastdata the same
treatment as wbuf for consistency and possibility of being affected
in the future. [1]

send along the "blksize" option specified in RFC2348,
and the "tsize" option specified in RFC2349.
Add code to parse the TFTP Option Acknowledgement (OACK) packet as
specified in RFC2347.
For TFTP servers which support the "blksize" option, we can
specify a TFTP Data block size larger than the default 512 bytes
specified in RFC1350. This offers greater read performance when
downloading files.
We request an initial size of 1428 bytes, which is less than the
Ethernet MTU of 1500 bytes. If the TFTP server sends back an OACK
packet, then use the block size specified in the OACK packet.
Most times it is usually the same value as what we request.
If the TFTP server supports RFC2348, we will see performance improvements
by transferring files over TFTP with larger block sizes.
If we do not get back an OACK packet, then we most likely we
are interoperating with a legacy TFTP server that does not
support TFTP extension options, so default to the block size of
512 bytes.
(2) If the "tftp.blksize" environment variable is set, then
take that value and use it when sending the TFTP RRQ packet,
instead of 1428. This allows us to set different values of
"tftp.blksize" in the loader, so that we can test out different
TFTP block sizes at run time.

unwanted packet(non-tftp). Change this to retransmit the packet(request or ack) only after
a timeout.

In sendrecv_tftp:
* Upon receving an unexpected block of data or error, resend the ACK
immediately instead of waiting till the expiry of receive data timeout
to resend the ACK.
* change the receive timeout value between retries to be 2xMINTMO.

file in the NFS file system when the underlying device is not a
network device. A Sparc64 specific hack for this exact problem was
already present (nfs.c:1.9, tftp.c:1.10), but the problem is not
specific to Sparc64. The hack has been promoted to a non-i386 test
because on non-i386 architectures it's either impossible to have
non-network devices coexist in the same loader with the NFS FS, or
network and non-network device coexist and NFS filesystems can only
be used on top of network devices. I believe i386 pxeboot is where
this does not hold.
The root cause of this problem is in open.c where each file system
is tried until no more file systems exist or a file system returns
success. There's no notion of a list of valid file systems given
the underlying device and the non-existence of a file can cause
the invalid combination to be tried.
