and constants related to the BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive Specification.
- Use this header instead of magic numbers and various duplicate structure
definitions for doing I/O.
- Use an actual structure for the request to fetch drive parameters in
drvsize() rather than a gross hack of a char array with some magic
size. While here, change drvsize() to only pass the 1.1 version of
the structure and not request device path information. If we want
device path information you have to set the length of the device
path information as an input (along with probably checking the actual
EDD version to see which size one should use as the device path
information is variable-length). This fixes data smashing problems
from passing an EDD 3 structure to BIOSes supporting EDD 4.

booting because the CD driver did not use bounce buffers to ensure
request buffers sent to the BIOS were always in the first 1MB. Copy over
the bounce buffer logic from the BIOS disk driver (minus the 64k boundary
code for floppies) to fix this.

of as hack that spans two other fields (adaptor (sic) and controller)

device (kind) specific unit field to the common field. This change
allows a future version of libefi to work without requiring anything
more than what is defined in struct devdesc and as such makes it
possible to compile said version of libefi for different platforms
without requiring that those platforms have identical derivatives
of struct devdesc.
Move the remaining bits of <sys/diskslice.h> to <i386/include/bootinfo.h>
Move i386/pc98 specific bits from <sys/reboot.h> to
<i386/include/bootinfo.h> as well.
Adjust includes in sys/boot accordingly.
no emulation mode. Unlike other BIOS devices, this device uses 2048 byte
sectors. Also, the bioscd driver does not have to worry about slices
or partitions.
