 Allow gPXE to run as a usermode application under Linux on both i386 and x86_64. Hence opening new debugging possibilities and shortening the development cycle considerably. Allow gPXE to run as a usermode application under Linux on both i386 and x86_64.

 +==== Tasks ==== 
 + 
 +=== Already done === 
 +  * Add a ''​linux''​ ''​PLATFORM''​ 
 +    * Link against hacked ''​stdlib''​ 
 +    * Add linker scripts for ''​i386'' ​and ''​x86_64''​ with tables support 
 +  * Add the necessary subsystems for a tap network driver 
 +      * ''​CONSOLE_LINUX''​ 
 +      * ''​TIMER_LINUX''​ 
 +      * ''​UACCESS_LINUX''​ 
 +      * ''​UMALLOC_LINUX''​ 
 +      * ''​NAP_LINUX''​ 
 +      * ''​SMBIOS_LINUX''​ (empty) 
 +  * Add a tap network driver 
 +  * Add command-line arguments allowing configuration of the tap driver 
 +  * Drop the stdlib dep 
 +    * Implement ''​syscall()''​ and ''​linux_*''​ on top of it where possible 
 +    * Implement ''​linux_realloc''​ 
 +    * Implement ''​_start''​ 
 +    * Make it not too hard to switch to linking to stdlib for debugging purposes 
 +=== Current === 
 +  * Making gPXE valgrindable 
 +==Planned for near future ​=== 
 +  * Research how to map gPXE's driver API to hardware via kernel
