Many routers have long router advertisment interval configured by
default. The Neighbor Discovery protocol (RFC4861) has defined default
MaxRtrAdvInterval value as 600 seconds and
MinRtrAdvInterval as 0.33*MaxRtrAdvInterval. This makes
net_ipv6_autoconf fails more often than not as currently it passively
listens the RA message to perfom address autoconfiguration.
This patch tries to send router solicitation to overcome the problem of
long RA interval.
v2:
use cpu_to_be macro for network byte order conversion
add missing error handling
* include/grub/net/arp.h: added arp header, arp cache entry and related constants and functions
* net/arp.c: added functions arp_init_table, arp_find_entry, arp_resolve and arp_receive
* net/ethernet.c (send_ethernet_packet): replaced hardcoded hardware address by parameter target_addr
* net/ethernet.c (recv_ethernet_packet): added call to arp_receive when packet is of type 0x803 (ARP) and only return when packet is of type determined by parameter ethertype
* net/ip.c (send_ip_packet): added call to arp_resolve to determine hardware address of destination
* net/netbuff.c (grub_netbuff_alloc): fixed swapped parameters in call to grub_memalign
