    boot - Handle tftp block overflows
    
    * Properly truncate the block number when comparing against the
      incoming packet.  TFTP only implements 16-bit block numbers.
      This allows the boot loader to access files larger than 32MB
      via TFTP.
    
    * Twiddle every 256 reads instead of every 16.
    
    * Note that TFTP is not really a suitable protocol for loading the
      kernel because the ELF loader seeks past the debug info which
      can be well over a hundred megabytes in order to get to the syms.
      NFS is preferred.
