On boot we don't need to perform any CPU cache management when the IDC
and DIC fields in the ctr_el0 register are set. Add a command to tell
loader to ignore these fields. This could be useful, for example, if the
hardware is misreporting the values and we are missing a quirk to enable
it.
It is not expected this will be needed, but is only intended as a
workaround to ensure the kernel can still boot.

In the arm64 loader we need to syncronise the I and D caches. On some
newer CPUs the I and D caches are coherent so we don't need to perform
these operations.
While here remove the arguments to cpu_inval_icache as they are unneeded.

When we load an ELF file (kernel or module) we do seek(2) a lot to
parse/load the different sections of the ELF file.
Protocol like TFTP suffers a lot from this as there is no resume or
a way to start the tranfer from a specified offset in the file.
fs_preload is added to help those protocol.
Call preload just after opening the ELF file that we need to load so
the underlying method can cache the hole file and then read/lseek operations
are faster.

Fix boot1 and loader on PowerPC64 little-endian (LE).
Due to endian issues, boot1 couldn't find the UFS boot partition
and loader wasn't able to load the kernel. Most of the issues
happened because boot1 and loader were BE binaries trying to access
LE UFS partitions and because loader expects the kernel ELF image
to use the same endian as itself.
To fix these issues, boot1 and loader are now built as LE binaries
on PPC64LE. To support this, the functions that call OpenFirmware
were enhanced to correctly perform endian conversion on its input
and output arguments and to change the CPU into BE mode before
making the calls, as OpenFirmware always runs in BE. Besides that,
some other small fixes were needed.

Prior to this commit, the loader would perform readaheads of up to
128 kB; when booting on a UFS filesystem this resulted in a series
of 160 kB reads (32 kB request + 128 kB readahead).
This commit allows readaheads to be longer, subject to a total I/O
size limit of 256 kB; i.e. 32 kB read requests will have added
readaheads of up to 224 kB.
In my testing on an EC2 c5.xlarge instance, this change reduces the
boot time by roughly 80 ms.

The loader bcache attempts to determine whether readahead is useful,
increasing or decreasing its readahead length based on whether a
read could be serviced out of the cache. This resulted in two
unfortunate behaviours:
1. A series of consecutive 32 kB reads are requested and bcache
performs 16 kB readaheads. For each read, bcache determines that,
since only the first 16 kB is already in the cache, the readahead
was not useful, and keeps the readahead at the minimum (16 kB) level.
2. A series of consecutive 32 kB reads are requested and bcache
starts with a 32 kB readahead resulting in a 64 kB being read on
the first request. The second 32 kB request can be serviced out of
the cache, and bcache responds by doubling its readahead length to
64 kB. The third 32 kB request cannot be serviced out of the cache,
and bcache reduces its readahead length back down to 32 kB.
The first syndrome converts a series of 32 kB reads into a series of
(misaligned) 32 kB reads, while the second syndrome converts a series
of 32 kB reads into a series of 64 kB reads; in both cases we do not
increase the readahead length to its limit (currently 128 kB) no
matter how many consecutive read requests are made.
This change avoids this problem by tracking the "unconsumed
readahead" length; readahead is deemed to be useful (and the
read-ahead length is potentially increased) not only if a request was
completely serviced out of the cache, but also if *any* of the request
was serviced out of the cache and that length matches the amount of
unconsumed readahead. Conversely, we now only reduce the readahead
length in cases where there was unconsumed readahead data.
In my testing on an EC2 c5.xlarge instance, this change reduces the
boot time by roughly 120 ms.

Booting FreeBSD on an EC2 c5.xlarge instance, the loader "twiddles"
810 times over the course of 510 ms, a rate of 1.59 kHz. Even accepting
that many systems are slower than this particular VM and will take
longer to boot (especially if using spinning-rust disks), this seems
like an unhelpfully large amount of twiddling when compared to the
~60 Hz frame rate of many displays; printing the twiddles also consumes
roughly 10% of the boot time on the aforementioned VM.
Setting the default globaldiv to 16 dramatically reduces the time spent
printing twiddles to the console while still twiddling at roughly 100
Hz; this should be ample even for systems which take longer to boot and
consequently twiddle slower.
Note that this can adjusted via the twiddle_divisor variable in
loader.conf, but that file is not processed until nearly halfway
through the loader's runtime.
