It's already possible to do a network boot of an s390x guest with an
external netboot image based on a Linux installation, but it would
be much more convenient if the s390-ccw firmware supported network
booting right out of the box, without the need to assemble such an
external image first.

This patch series now introduces a s390-netboot.img that can be used
for network booting via DHCP and TFTP by re-using the networking stack
from the SLOF firmware (see https://github.com/aik/SLOF/ for details),
and adds a driver for virtio-net-ccw devices.

The code can only be built if the roms/SLOF submodule has been checked
out (there is a sanity check for this in the Makefile). Once it has
been built, you can download a combined kernel + initrd image via TFTP
by starting QEMU for example with:

 qemu-system-s390x ... -device virtio-net,netdev=n1,bootindex=1 \
       -netdev user,id=n1,tftp=/path/to/tftp,bootfile=kernel.img

Note that this version does not support downloading via config
files (i.e. pxelinux config files or .INS config files) yet. This
will be added later.

v4:
 - Cosmetic clean-ups according to the review feedback from v3
 - Fixed bug in the find_dev() function (spotted by Cornelia in v3)
 - Added an additional patch to remove some unused structs from
   virtio.h

v3:
 - Adressed the review feedback from v2
 - The last remaining SLOF patch has now been merged (big thanks to
   Alexey!), so not sending this as RFC anymore - it is ready now for
   integration, I think.

v2:
 - Put the network boot loader into a separate s390-netboot.img
   binary instead of linking it directly into the s390-ccw firmware.
 - Use the SLOF sources from the roms/SLOF/ submodule instead of
   copying them into the pc-bios/s390-ccw folder
 - Removed the .INS config file loading code for now - only support
   combined kernel + initrd images in this initial implementation.
