ipv6 routing in grub2 is broken, we cannot talk to anything outside our local
network or anything that doesn't route in our global namespace. This patch
fixes this by doing a couple of things
1) Read the router information off of the router advertisement. If we have a
router lifetime we need to take the source address and create a route from it.
2) Changes the routing stuff slightly to allow you to specify a gateway _and_ an
interface. Since the router advertisements come in on the link local address we
need to associate it with the global address on the card. So when we are
processing the router advertisement, either use the SLAAC interface we create
and add the route to that interface, or loop through the global addresses we
currently have on our interface and associate it with one of those addresses.
We need to have a special case here for the default route so that it gets used,
we do this by setting the masksize to 0 to mean it encompasses all networks.
The routing code will automatically select the best route so if there is a
closer match we will use that.
With this patch I can now talk to ipv6 addresses outside of my local network.

While adding tcp window scaling support I was finding that I'd get some packet
loss or reordering when transferring from large distances and grub would just
timeout. This is because we weren't ack'ing when we got our OOO packet, so the
sender didn't know it needed to retransmit anything, so eventually it would fill
the window and stop transmitting, and we'd time out. Fix this by ACK'ing when
we don't find our next sequence numbered packet. With this fix I no longer time
out. Thanks,

We were resetting nb->data every time we tried a new server, but we need to do
it every time we try for a different record, otherwise we don't end up falling
back to the A record properly. Thanks,

The EFI spec indicates that get_status() should return the address of the buffer
we passed into transmit to indicate the the buffer was transmitted. However we
have boxes where the firmware returns some arbitrary address instead, which
makes grub think that we've not sent anything. So since we have the SNP stuff
opened in exclusive mode just assume any non-NULL txbuf means that our transmit
occurred properly. This makes grub able to do its networking stuff properly on
our broken firmware. Thanks,
