This patch series extends GRUB's network boot capabilities to support the following UEFI network boot functions:
- UEFI PXE with IPv6 support - UEFI HTTP with IPv4 and IPv6 support - UEFI HTTP with DNS resolution Although GRUB already supports TFTP, HTTP, and DNS, it previously lacked the integration to configure its network stack based on the UEFI device path or related boot protocols when booting in these network environments. This series fills that gap by enabling GRUB to automatically configure the network stack from UEFI device paths or protocols, so they can work out-of-the-box. Additionally, for completeness, a new command, net_dhcp6, is introduced to support IPv6, similar to the existing net_dhcp command for IPv4. This command auto-configures GRUB's IPv6 interfaces via DHCPv6, enabling automatic network interface setup and access to remote targets when booting locally. The first and last two patches are general fixes to existing network functionality and can be reviewed or cherry-picked separately from the patch series.
