The -O2 optimization flag is passed via CFLAGS to the firmware Makefile,
but in netbook.mak, we've got some rules that only use QEMU_CFLAGS for
compiling the libc and libnet from SLOF, so these files get compiled
without optimization so far. Use CFLAGS here, too, to create faster
and smaller code.
We can additionally save some more bytes in the firmware images by compi-
ling the code with -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables. This will omit some
ELF sections (used for stack unwinding for example) from the image that
we do not need in the firmware.

Since it is quite cumbersome to manually create a combined kernel with
initrd image for network booting, we now support loading via pxelinux
configuration files, too. In these files, the kernel, initrd and command
line parameters can be specified seperately, and the firmware then takes
care of glueing everything together in memory after the files have been
downloaded. See this URL for details about the config file layout:
https://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=PXELINUX
The user can either specify a config file directly as bootfile via DHCP
(but in this case, the file has to start either with "default" or a "#"
comment so we can distinguish it from binary kernels), or a folder (i.e.
the bootfile name must end with "/") where the firmware should look for
the typical pxelinux.cfg file names, e.g. based on MAC or IP address.
We also support the pxelinux.cfg DHCP options 209 and 210 from RFC 5071.

The ip_version information now has to be stored in the filename_ip_t
structure, and there is now a common function called tftp_get_error_info()
which can be used to get the error string for a TFTP error code.
We can also get rid of some superfluous "(char *)" casts now.

The netboot firmware so far simply jumped directly into the OS kernel
after the download has been completed. This, however, bears the risk
that the virtio-net device still might be active in the background and
incoming packets are still placed into the buffers - which could destroy
memory of the now-running Linux kernel in case it did not take over the
device fast enough. Also the SCLP console is not put into a well-defined
state here. We should hand over the system in a clean state when jumping
into the kernel, so let's use the same mechanism as it's done in the
main s390-ccw firmware and reset the machine with diag308 into a clean
state before jumping into the OS kernel code. To be able to share the
code with the main s390-ccw firmware, the related functions are now
extracted from bootmap.c into a new file called jump2ipl.c.
Since we now also set the boot device schid at address 184 for the network
boot device, this patch also slightly changes the way how we detect the
entry points for non-ELF binary images: The code now looks for the "S390EP"
magic first and then jumps to 0x10000 in case it has been found. This is
necessary for booting from network devices, since the normal kernel code
(where the PSW at ddress 0 points to) tries to do a block load from the
boot device. This of course fails for a virtio-net device and causes the
kernel to abort with a panic-PSW silently.

Setting the client architecture DHCP option to 0x001f (s390 Basic) [1]
allows the DHCP server to return a s390-specific bootfile if wanted.
DHCP servers not configured for the option (or not yet recognizing the
option value) will continue to work as they have done before.

can finally load an image via TFTP and execute the downloaded kernel.

This is just a preparation for the next steps: Add a makefile and a
stripped down copy of pc-bios/s390-ccw/main.c as a basis for the network
bootloader program, linked against the libc from SLOF already (which we
will need for SLOF's libnet). The networking code is not included yet.
