491a40587d Use 32-bit ufs_ino_t instead of ino_t to keep boot2 small and prevent
unnecessary 64-bit math on 32-bit machines.

c48e7eac15 Make sure to synchronize icache for the newly loaded loader. Not an issue
on most systems, when the relevant icache lines are not full.

ce8fb93178 Merge binutils 2.17.50 to head. This brings a number of improvements to
x86 CPU support, better support for powerpc64, some new directives, and
many other things.  Bump __FreeBSD_version, and add a note to UPDATING.

Thanks to the many people that have helped to test this.

67167531f0 Provide support in loader for booting 64-bit PowerPC kernels. Like amd64,
64-bit PowerPC kernels are loaded by a 32-bit loader, since nearly all
powerpc64 firmwares execute in 32-bit mode.

4d3800847a Modify our boot block to pick an output device, without which boot1 will fail
on G4 machines. On the assumption that most people using FreeBSD on Apple
hardware are not using serial consoles, set boot1's output to screen. This
should be revisited. While here, reduce verbosity of boot1.

5f7ec695e9 Add a simple HFS boot block implementation for booting PowerPC macs. It creates
a small HFS filesystem with a CHRP boot script and an early-stage bootloader
derived from the sparc64 boot block.
