we construct the EFI image. It doesn't seem to actually end up
in the EFI image, AFAICT.
o Replace .quad, .long and .short with data8, data4 and data2 resp.
The former are gnuisms.
o Redefine _start_plabel as a data16 with @iplt(_start) as its
value. This is the preferred way to create user PLT entries.
binutils 2.15. The linker now creates a .rela.dyn section for
dynamic relocations, while our script created a .rela section.
Likewise, we copied the .rela section to the EFI image, but not
the .rela.dyn section. The fix is to rename .rela to .rela.dyn
in the linker script so that all relocations end up in the same
section again. This we copy into the EFI image.

bootp.nfsroot -> BOOTP_NFSROOT
bootp.nfsv3 -> BOOTP_NFSV3
bootp.compat -> BOOTP_COMPAT
bootp.wired_to -> BOOTP_WIRED_TO
- i.e. back out the previous commit. It's already possible to
pxeboot(8) with a GENERIC kernel.

BOOTP -> bootp
BOOTP_NFSROOT -> bootp.nfsroot
BOOTP_NFSV3 -> bootp.nfsv3
BOOTP_COMPAT -> bootp.compat
BOOTP_WIRED_TO -> bootp.wired_to
This lets you PXE boot with a GENERIC kernel by putting this sort of thing
in loader.conf:
bootp="YES"
bootp.nfsroot="YES"
bootp.nfsv3="YES"
bootp.wired_to="bge1"
or even setting the variables manually from the OK prompt.

the framebuffer and BATs not re-inited on OpenFirmware calls).
It also hid a number of bugs.

1:1 BAT mapping. Sparc64 doesn't do this either.

fills its field (6 characters). In that case the OEMID is not
null-terminated, and the sprintf that was used would copy up to the
next null byte, which could be pretty far away.
boot0sio.s was repo-copied to boot0.S.
- Rename boot0ext.s to boot0ext.S, to stay consistent
with other preprocessed asm files around here, and
for better portability.

switch to using C99-style comments everywhere in preprocessed
assembler. The reason is that lines starting with the regexp
'^[[:space:]]#' are treated as preprocessing directives, and
while it seems to work now with GCC, it's not necessarily has
to work. Use C99 comments `//' for the trailing comments to
save whitespace.
