c75f49f7d8 Make iflib a loadable module.
iflib is already a module, but it is unconditionally compiled into the
kernel.  There are drivers which do not need iflib(4), and there are
situations where somebody might not want iflib in kernel because of
using the corresponding driver as module.

7f124c950a Update the note about the need for COMPAT_FREEBSD<n> kernel options.
Rather than mentioning the requirement for 4.x binaries but not
explaining why (it was assuming an upgrade from 4.x to 5.0-current),
explain when compat options are needed (for running existing host
binaries) in a more general way while using a more modern example
(COMPAT_FREEBSD11 for 11.x binaries).  While here, explicitly mention
that a GENERIC kernel should always work.

468002c56c Add updating entry for DRM
Update messaging for which drm module to install. Add guidance on what
hardware is supported (which should be copied into the release
notes). Note: the in tree drivers are abandonware. There has been no
organized support for them for many years, and the plan is to still
remove them for all but arm once the transition to drm-*kmod is
complete. Also note that WITHOUT_MODULE_DRM and WITHOUT_MODULE_DRM2
should generally be added to src.conf for anybody using the drm-*kmod
ports. That will become default in 13 soon, however.

532dc17243 lualoader: Create a module blacklist, add DRM modules to it
This is a step in the process of easing migration into the new world order
of DRM drivers. Strongly encourage users towards loading DRM modules via
rc.conf(5) instead of loader.conf(5) by failing the load from loader(8).
Users so inclined may wipe out the blacklist via module_blacklist="" in
loader.conf(5), and it is expected that these modules will eventually be
removed from the blacklist. They may still be loaded as dependencies of
other modules or explicitly via the loader prompt, but this should not be a
major problem.

592ffb2175 Revert drm2 removal.
Revert r338177, r338176, r338175, r338174, r338172

After long consultations with re@, core members and mmacy, revert
these changes. Followup changes will be made to mark them as
deprecated and prent a message about where to find the up-to-date
driver.  Followup commits will be made to make this clear in the
installer. Followup commits to reduce POLA in ways we're still
exploring.

It's anticipated that after the freeze, this will be removed in
13-current (with the residual of the drm2 code copied to
sys/arm/dev/drm2 for the TEGRA port's use w/o the intel or
radeon drivers).

Due to the impending freeze, there was no formal core vote for
this. I've been talking to different core members all day, as well as
Matt Macey and Glen Barber. Nobody is completely happy, all are
grudgingly going along with this. Work is in progress to mitigate
the negative effects as much as possible.

other users should be able to use one of the LinuxKPI-based ports:

295506bf9c Turn back the clock just a little: make userboot.so always be 4th
Turns out there was a hidden dependency we hasn't counted upon.  The
host load /boot/userboot.so to boot the VMs it runs. This means that
the change to lua meant suddently that nobody could run their older
VMs because LUA wasn't in 10.0, last month's HardenedBSD, 11.2 or
whatever.  Even more than for the /boot/loader* binaries, we need a
good coexistance strategy for this. While that's being designed and
implemented, drop back to always 4th for userboot.so. This will fail
safe in all but the most extreme environments (but lua-only hacks
to .lua files won't be processes in VMs until we fix it).

b43c6042c3 Finalize the boot manager protocol support for next-stage boot
loading.

If we are booting in a conforming UEFI Boot Manager Environment, then
use the BootCurrent variable to find the BootXXXX we're using. Once we
find that, then if it contains more than one EFI_DEVICE_PATH in its
what to boot section, try to use the last one as the kernel to
load. This will also set the default root partition as well. If
there's only one path, or if there's an error along the way, assume
that nothing specific was specified and revert to the old
algorithm. If something was specified, but not found, then fail the
boot. Otherwise you that, specific thing. On FreeBSD, this can be set
using efibootmgr -l <loader> -k <kernel>. We try a few variations of
kernel to cope with the fact that UEFI comes from a DOS world where
paths might be upper case and/or contain back-slashes.

Note: In an ideal world, we'd work out where we are in chain loading
by looking at the passed-in image handle and doing name
matching. However, that's unreliable since at least boot1.efi booted
images don't have that, hence the assumption that loader.efi needs to
load the last thing on the list, if possible.

The reason we fail for something specific is so that we can fully
participate in the UEFI Boot Manager Protocol and fail over to the
next item in the list of BootOrder choices when something goes wrong
at this stage.

This implements was was talked about in freebsd-arch@ last year
https://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3576+0+archive/2017/freebsd-arch/20171022.freebsd-arch

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aK9IqF-60JPEbUeSAUAkYjF2W_8EnmczFs6RqCT90Jg/edit#
although one or two minor details may have been modified in this
implementation to make it work, and the ZFS MEDIA PATH extension isn't
implemented. This does not yet move things to ESP:\efi\freebsd\loader.efi.
