Some past security reviews carried out for UEFI Secure Boot signing
submissions have covered specific drivers or functional areas of iPXE.
Mark all of the files comprising these areas as permitted for UEFI
Secure Boot.

Interrupts as such are not used in iPXE, which operates in polling
mode. However, some network cards (such as the Intel 40GbE and 100GbE
NICs) will defer writing out completions until the point of asserting
an MSI-X interrupt.
From the point of view of the PCI device, asserting an MSI-X interrupt
is just a 32-bit DMA write of an opaque value to an opaque target
address. The PCI device has no know to know whether or not the target
address corresponds to a real APIC.
We can therefore trick the PCI device into believing that it is
asserting an MSI-X interrupt, by configuring it to write an opaque
32-bit value to a dummy target address in host memory. This is
sufficient to trigger the associated write of the completions to host
memory.
Allocate a dummy target address when enabling MSI-X on a PCI device,
and map all interrupts to this target address by default.

The Intel 40 Gigabit Ethernet virtual functions support only MSI-X
interrupts, and will write back completed interrupt descriptors only
when the device attempts to raise an interrupt (or when a complete
cacheline of receive descriptors has been completed).
We cannot actually use MSI-X interrupts within iPXE, since we never
have ownership of the APIC. However, an MSI-X interrupt is
fundamentally just a DMA write of a single dword to an arbitrary
address. We can therefore configure the device to "raise" an
interrupt by writing a meaningless value to an otherwise unused memory
location: this is sufficient to trigger the receive descriptor
writeback logic.
