 * by the PXE specification version 2.1.  See errno.h for a listing of
 * the error values.
 *
 * To save space in ROM images, error string tables are optional.  Use
 * the ERRORMSG_XXX options in config.h to select which error string
 * tables you want to include.  If an error string table is omitted,
 * strerror() will simply return the text "Error 0x<errno>".
