backoff mechanism we use for receiving the response. This is particularly
helpful when we have transient errors on transmit, e.g. a very busy
network or router.
compressed mode when we zero out the structure. Check_header() now
does not force us to uncompressed mode if we read no data (EOF);
it leaves the default, so that if we check at the end of a file,
we don't set the file to uncompressed mode and blow up later lseeks
on it.
to 312 bytes (The classical 64 bytes are likely to be too small if a
rootpath is transferred.)
-make CMU vendor extension support optional
-remove code handling domain name/server (unneeded for boot code)
- -Wall fixes in debug code
Use <net/if_ether.h> for ethernet specific definitions, and insert private
definitions for ARP if needed. (The new ARP macros in <net/if_arp.h> are
not used because they create larger code, and we really don't need more
than ethernet/ip support here.)
Some of the stuff (e.g., rarpd, bootpd, dhcpd etc., libsa) still will
only support Ethernet. Tcpdump itself should be ok, but libpcap needs
lot of work.
For the detailed change history, look at the commit log entries for
the is-newarp branch.
Add SUPPORT_BOOTP (and global try_bootp) to allow MD code to
determine whether BOOTP is used (compile-time and run-time).
Thanks to Matthias Drochner for the SUPPORT_BOOTP ideas.

EINVAL, that error code is ignored, leaving whatever other meaningful
error code that might have previously been returned intact. Stand-alone
file system implementations return EINVAL typically when the file system
is not recognized (i.e. cd9660_open on a UFS file system, ufs_open on a
cd9660 file system, etc.). This meant that if you had multiple file
systems in a file system switch, the first returned ENOENT (because
it recognized the file system type, but the file wasn't there) and
the second returned EINVAL (because it didn't recognize the file system
type), errno would be set to EINVAL. Now it'll be set to ENOENT.
It would probably make sense to have file systems return a special
error code to indicate "this file system is unrecognized," which
could then be special-cased, but that's a fair bit more invasive.
