efi64: Add support for booting 32-bit kernels.
efi: Use the EFI handover protocol when booting kernels if available.
Fix various make targets that became broken when switching to per-firmware object directories, including 'make install' and 'make netinstall'.
efi: Improve handling of packet loss in UDP stack.
tests: Introduce a new regression test framework designed to ensure bugs are not reintroduced once fixed.
efi: Implement localboot support.

efi: Mark some symbols as __export otherwise libcom32.c32 and vesamenu.c32 will refuse to load.
bios: Wire up the bios kernel loader. It was impossible to load a kernel from bios in 6.00.
efi: Fix 'make installer'. There are no EFI installers so don't try and build them as we run into build errors.
efi: Reuse the initial TFTP client port in subsequent transfers otherwise the server will send an error packet.
efi: Some firmware will not set a default TTL value in IP packets - we must explicitly set it ourselves otherwise a value of zero may be used.
bios, font: Fix a font regression affecting some VirtualBox users.

Add support for booting from EFI.
EFI TCP/IP support. This allows the EFI backend to hook into the generic TFTP, HTTP and FTP functionality.
