[s390x] Add time source based on the architectural Time-of-Day clock

The S/390 architecture provides instructions to read the Time-of-Day
(TOD) clock, which increments at a well-defined rate regardless of the
underlying physical clock speed, and has an epoch that starts from
zero at the beginning of the 20th century.

Use this clock to provide both interval timing (i.e. udelay() and
currticks()) and the wall-clock time source.  For short interval
timing, we choose to save on code size by treating one millisecond as
1024 microseconds.

iPXE network bootloader

Build Coverity Release

iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:

  • boot from a web server via HTTP or HTTPS,

  • boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE SAN,

  • control the boot process with a script,

  • create interactive forms and menus.

You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card, or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without the hassle of reflashing.

iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with some portions under GPL-compatible licences).

You can download the rolling release binaries (built from the latest commit), or use the most recent stable release.
