the use of hashmaps is just hopelessly outdated.

with the PacketVar descriptor, one can simply address data in packets.

this also adds support for network byte order, and minor improvements.

See merge request teichman/ebpfcat!15

this also improves readabiliy

especially the reverse divisions were incorrect. Now the code
is shorter as well.

this modifies the tests to do some multiplication not long -
but it actually seems legit.

this makes a difference with signed extension to 64 bit

this is not actually related to the ebpfcat PacketVar, but kinda
similar.

See merge request teichman/ebpfcat!14

this improves ethercat compatibility by actually setting the correct PDO size and other minor details.

See merge request teichman/ebpfcat!12

we still have to artificially tell that this is a float
value, although that's actually in the SDO.

we used to initialize the sync manager to what was
in the eeprom, which is big enough normally, but not always.

Now we read out the pdo assignment first, and set the sync
manager size accordingly.

for most operations, pre-operational is good enough a state.
By thinko we went to safe operational, which is not needed.

See merge request teichman/ebpfcat!11

the Leybold TurboVac does not like to be put into operational unless
it is already getting PDO data. This actually seems like a good idea.

See merge request teichman/ebpfcat!10

f is already used for float, so use x, not great but the first
free letter.

This is the basics to starting to support Leybold turbo pumps, which have some peculiar quirks.

Also general improvements.

See merge request teichman/ebpfcat!9

all kinds of stuff updated:

- EEPROMs can now be written, especially the serial number
- tests should work again
- ebpf devices can now act cyclic like slow devices

See merge request teichman/ebpfcat!7

the anybus client does not like our index datagram with zero
length data. While we are already at it, we also do proper padding
according to the ethercat standard. Hopefully this way we are
compatible with many more devices.
