In some cases, like is locked bootstrap or device's inability to boot from
removable media, we cannot use standard boot sequence and is necessary to
boot kernel directly from U-Boot.

After discussing with mmel@, it was clear this is insufficient to address
all the needs. mmel@ will commit his original patch, from
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13861, and the additions needed from r354714
will be made afterward.

Summary:
Boot arm64 kernel using booti command from U-boot. booti can relocate initrd
image into higher ram addresses, therefore align the initrd load address to 1GiB
and create VA = PA map for it. Create L2 pagetable entries to copy the initrd
image into KVA.

Previously, debug exceptions were only enabled on the boot CPU if
DDB was enabled in the dbg_monitor_init() function. APs also called
this function, but since mp_machdep.c doesn't include opt_ddb.h, the
APs ended up calling an empty stub defined in <machine/debug_monitor.h>
instead of the real function. Also, if DDB was not enabled in the kernel,
the boot CPU would not enable debug exceptions.
Fix this by adding a new dbg_init() function that always clears the OS
lock to enable debug exceptions which the boot CPU and the APs call.
This function also calls dbg_monitor_init() to enable hardware breakpoints
from DDB on all CPUs if DDB is enabled. Eventually base support for
hardware breakpoints/watchpoints will need to move out of the DDB-only
debug_monitor.c for use by userland debuggers.

between ACPI and FDT. This will be needed on machines with both, e.g. the
SoftIron Overdrive 3000. The kernel will accept one or more comma separated
values of either 'acpi' or 'fdt'. Any other values are skipped.
To set it the user can either set it on the loader command line, or
in loader.conf e.g. in loader.conf:
kern.cfg.order=acpi,fdt
This will try using ACPI then FDT. If none of the selected options work the
kernel tries to use one to get the serial console, then panics.

increased to 256TiB. The kernel address space can also be increased to be
the same size, but this will be performed in a later change.
To help work with an extra level of page tables two new functions have
been added, one to file the lowest level table entry, and one to find the
block/page level. Both of these find the entry for a given pmap and virtual
address.
This has been tested with a combination of buildworld, stress2 tests, and
by using sort to consume a large amount of memory by sorting /dev/zero. No
new issues are known to be present from this change.

This is only the minimum set of files needed to boot in qemu. As such it is
missing a few things.
The bus_dma code is currently only stub functions with a full implementation
from the development tree to follow.
The gic driver has been copied as the interrupt framework is different. It
is expected the two drivers will be merged by the arm intrng project,
however this will need to be imported into the tree and support for arm64
would need to be added.
This includes code developed by myself, SemiHalf, Ed Maste, and Robin
Randhawa from ARM. This has been funded by the FreeBSD Foundation, with
early development by myself in my spare time with assistance from Robin.
