This was introduced as a workaround long time ago for some Alpha firmware
(which is now gone), and actually prevented net_close() to ever be
called.
Certain firmwares (U-Boot) need local shutdown operations to be performed on a
network controller upon transaction end: such platform-specific hooks are
supposed to be called via netif_close() (from within net_close()).
This change effectively reverts the following CVS commit:
sys/boot/common/dev_net.c
revision 1.7
date: 2000/05/13 15:40:46; author: dfr; state: Exp; lines: +2 -1
Only probe network settings on the first open of the network device.
The alpha firmware takes a seriously long time to open the network device
the first time.
Also suppress excessive output while netbooting via loader, unless debugging.
While there, make sys/boot/uboot more style(9) compliant.

routines (V86 requests from the client and hardware interrupt handlers):
- Install trampoline real mode interrupt handlers at IDT vectors 0x20-0x2f
to handle hardware interrupts by invoking the appropriate vector (0x8-0xf
or 0x70-0x78). This allows the 8259As to use vectors 0x20-0x2f in real
mode as well as protected mode will ensuring that the master 8259A
doesn't share IDT space with CPU exceptions in protected mode.
- Since we don't need to reserve space for page tables and a page directory
anymore since dropping paging support, move the TSS and protected mode
IDT up by 16k. Grow the ring 1 link stack by 16k as a result.
- Repurpose the ring 1 link stack to be used as a real mode stack when
invoking real mode routines either via a V86 request or a hardware
interrupts. This simplifies a few things as we avoid disturbing the
original user stack.
- Add some more block comments to explain how the code interacts with the
V86 structure as this wasn't immediately obvious from the prior comments
(e.g. that we explicitly copy the seg regs for real mode out of the V86
struct onto the stack to be popped off when going into real mode, etc.).
Also, document some of the stack frames we create going to real mode and
back.
- Remove all of the virtual 86 related code including having to simulate
various instructions and BIOS calls on a trap from virtual 86 mode.
- Explicitly panic if a user client attempts to perform a V86 CALL
request that isn't a far call.
- Bump version to 1.2.
Assuming this works ok this should fix some of the long standing issues
with USB booting as well as etherboot.

- Consolidate the code to humanize the size of a disk partition into a
single function based on the code for GPT partitions and use it for
GPT partitions, BSD slices, and BSD partitions.
- Teach the humanize code to use KB for small partitions (e.g. GPT boot
partitions now show up as 64KB rather than 0MB).
- Pad a few partition type names out so that things line up in the
common case.

altered as part of being parsed so we only display the first option. Fix
this by saving a copy of /boot.config before parsing it and displaying the
saved copy after parsing.

o Disable interrupts while not running U-Boot code. We clobber
registers that the U-Boot interrupt handlers assume to be
fixed as per the U-Boot register usage. At this time this only
applies to r14. U-Boot uses r2 now for what they used r29 for.
After we restore r14 in preparation of doing the syscall, we
re-enable interrupts. When we return from the syscall, we
disable interrupts and restore the callee-saved r14.
(link) address and the physical (load) address. Ideally, the mapping
between link and load addresses should be abstracted by the copyin(),
copyout() and readin() functions, so that we don't have to add kluges
in __elfN(loadimage)(). Then, we could also have paged virtual memory
for the kernel. This can be important under EFI, where you need to
allocate physical memory form the firmware if you want to work in all
scenarios.
o Move the API prototypes to a separate header (glue.h)
o Allow the platform to hint libuboot about where to look
for the API signature. The uboot_address variable is
expected to be defined by the platform.
Turn off TFTP support by default: when both TFTP and NFS are enabled in the
loader, strange interactions occur in the pure netbooting scenario (i.e.
loader is TFTP-ed, kernel+world mounted over NFS), leading to very slow access
to the NFS-exported files.

saves about 500 bytes in the boot code. While the AT91RM9200 has 12k
of space for the boot loader, which is more than i386's 8k, the code
generated by gcc is a bit bigger.
I've had this in p4 for about two years now.
