This pushes the bulk of the rx servicing into a single loop that's only
slightly convoluted, and it addresses a problem with rx handling in the
process. If we hit a tx interrupt while we're processing, we'd
previously drop the frame on the floor completely and ultimately
timeout, increasing boot time on particularly busy hosts as we keep
having to backoff and resend.
After this patch, we don't seem to hit timeouts at all on zoo anymore
though loading a 27M kernel is still relatively slow (~1m20s).

When VECTX is enabled as a kernel option and non-EFI loaders are
built, many reads will fail due to the mis-match of whether
LOADER_VERIEXEC_VECTX or not in readin.h. Source that includes
bootstrap.h must ensure the kernel option agrees with the compile
time CFLAGS in the various make related files.

There's a currently ad-hoc protocol to hand off the FreeBSD kernel
payload between the loader and the kernel itself when Xen is in the
middle of the picture. Such protocol wasn't very resilient to changes
to the loader itself, because it relied on moving metadata around to
package it using a certain layout. This has proven to be fragile, so
replace it with a more robust version.
The new protocol requires using a xen_header structure that will be
used to pass data between the FreeBSD loader and the FreeBSD kernel
when booting in dom0 mode. At the moment the only data conveyed is the
offset of the start of the module metadata relative to the start of the
module itself.
This is a slightly disruptive change since it also requires a change
to the kernel which is contained in this patch. In order to update
with this change the kernel must be updated before updating the
loader, as described in the handbook. Note this is only required when
booting a FreeBSD/Xen dom0. This change doesn't affect the normal
FreeBSD boot protocol.
This fixes booting FreeBSD/Xen in dom0 mode after
3630506b9d.

hw.vga.textmode is directing VT VGA backend to use text mode.
The default screen mode for BIOS loader is text, and default
screen mode for VT VGA backend is graphics (unless we are running on
hypervisor or hw.vga.textmode is set to 1). Using hw.vga.textmode
for loader does remove possibility to have graphical mode VT VGA with
text mode loader.
screen.textmode can have possible values "0" to disable text mode,
and "1" to set text mode.
Instead of trying to set reasonable register values, save significant
register values, then prepare for font upload and then restore
registers from saved data.
This seems to fix text mode for most cases where text mode breakage
was reported.

We should have nextboot feature implemented in libsa zfs code.
To get there, I have created zfs_nextboot() implementation based on
two sources, our current simple textual string based approach with added
structured boot label PAD structure from OpenZFS.
Secondly, all nvlist details are moved to separate source file and
restructured a bit. This is done to provide base support to add nvlist
add/update feature in followup updates.
And finally, the zfsboot/gptzfsboot disk access functions are swapped to use
libi386 and libsa.

The vectx API, computes the hash for verifying a file as it is read.
This avoids the overhead of reading files twice - once to verify, then
again to load.
For doing an install via loader, avoiding the need to rewind
large files is critical.
This API is only used for modules, kernel and mdimage as these are the
biggest files read by the loader.
The reduction in boot time depends on how expensive the I/O is
on any given platform. On a fast VM we see 6% improvement.
For install via loader the first file to be verified is likely to be the
kernel, so some of the prep work (finding manifest etc) done by
verify_file() needs to be factored so it can be reused for
vectx_open().
For missing or unrecognized fingerprint entries, we fail
in vectx_open() unless verifying is disabled.
Otherwise fingerprint check happens in vectx_close() and
since this API is only used for files which must be verified
(VE_MUST) we panic if we get an incorrect hash.

As a new x86 CPU vendor, Chengdu Haiguang IC Design Co., Ltd (Hygon)
is a joint venture between AMD and Haiguang Information Technology Co.,
Ltd., aims at providing x86 processors for China server market.
The first generation Hygon processor(Dhyana) shares most architecture
with AMD's family 17h, but with different CPU vendor ID("HygonGenuine")
and PCI vendor ID(0x1d94) and family series number 18h(Hygon negotiated
with AMD to confirm that only Hygon use family 18h).
To enable Hygon Dhyana support in FreeBSD, add new definitions
HYGON_VENDOR_ID("HygonGenuine") and X86_VENDOR_HYGON(0x1d94) to identify
Hygon Dhyana CPU.
Initialize the CPU features(topology, local APIC ext, MSI, TSC, hwpstate,
MCA, DEBUG_CTL, etc) for amd64 and i386 mode by sharing the code path of
AMD family 17h.
The changes have been applied on FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT and tested
successfully on Hygon Dhyana processor.

For all the INT13 calls, use symbolic names instead of magic numbers. This makes

Add settable variables to control teken default color attributes.
The supported colors are 0-7 or basic color names:
black, red, green, brown, blue, magenta, cyan, white.
The current implementation does add some duplication which will be addressed
later.
Replace mini cons25 emulator with teken, this does enable us proper console
terminal for loader and will make it possible to implement different
back end callbacks to draw to screen.
At this time we still only "draw" in text mode.
The values of the d_slice and d_partition fields of a disk_devdesc have a
few values with special meanings in the disk_open() routine. Through various
evolutions of the loader code over time, a d_partition value of -1 has
meant both "use the first ufs partition found in the bsd label" and "don't
open a bsd partition at all, open the raw slice."
This defines a new special value of -2 to mean open the raw slice, and it
gives symbolic names to all the special values used in d_slice and
d_partition, and adjusts all existing uses of those fields to use the new
constants.
The phab review for this timed out without being accepted, but I'm still
citing it below because there is useful commentary there.
