While here remove the arguments to cpu_inval_icache as they are unneeded.

Booting on an EC2 c5.xlarge instance, this reduces the number of I/Os
performed from 609 to 432, reduces the total number of blocks read
from 61963 to 60797, and reduces the time spent in the loader by 39 ms.
Note that b4cb3fe0e3 allowed the bcache to be retained for most of
the boot process, but relies on mounting filesystems; this commit
allows the bcache to be retained at the start of the boot process,

from the BIOS cases. Include cross reference for the preferred method described
in efibootmgr(8) as well as cross links in both gptboot(8) and gptboot.efi(8) to

This man page was heavily copied from the gptboot.8 man page by Warren Block.
They are different enough to need separate man pages for clarity, but there's
enough similarity that I worry about the duplication. In the really long term,
gptboot(8) will disappear, so having the same info here will help when that
day comes. In the short to medium term, the information is likely to not
change in gptboot(8) and any changes to gptboot.efi(8) will be easier to
make in a separate copy.
loader.efi(8) needs a complete rewrite from scratch, otherwise I'd have
referenced gptboot.efi(8) from there.

Add some basic multiboot2 infrastructure to the EFI loader in order to
be capable of booting a FreeBSD/Xen dom0 when booted from UEFI.
Only a very limited subset of the multiboot2 protocol is implemented
in order to support enough to boot into Xen, the implementation
doesn't intend to be a full multiboot2 capable implementation.
Such multiboot2 functionality is hooked up into the amd64 EFI loader,
which is the only architecture that supports Xen dom0 on FreeBSD.
The options to boot a FreeBSD/Xen dom0 system are exactly the same as
on BIOS, and requires setting the xen_kernel and xen_cmdline options
in loader.conf.

This mirrors the functionality of the BIOS amd64 bi_load function,
that stashes the absolute address of the module metadata. This is
required for booting as a Xen dom0 that does relocate the modulep and
the loaded modules, and thus requires adjusting the offset.

functionality for Xen dom0 loading.

Some systems may provide multiple GOP instances and not all are
bound to hardware. The current loader is picking up the first GOP,
which may not be usable. Instead we load the GOP handle array,
and test every handle to have registered ConOut protocol. If ConOut is
present, we can use this GOP handle to open GOP protocol.
We do select font based on desired terminal size, we do query
UEFI terminal size with conout->QueryMode(), but by mistake, the fallback
values are used.
Pass gfx_state to efi_find_framebuffer(), so we can pick between
GOP and UGA in efi_find_framebuffer(), also we can then
set up struct gen_fb in gfx_state from efifb and isolate efi fb data
processing into framebuffer.c.
This change does allow us to clean up efi_cons_init() and reduce
BS->LocateProtocol() calls.
A little downside is that we now need to translate gen_fb back to
efifb in bootinfo.c (for passing to kernel), and we need to add few
-I options to CFLAGS.
