redzone below the stack pointer for scratch space and requires
interrupt and signal frames to avoid overwriting it. However, EFI uses
the Windows ABI which does not support this. As a result, interrupt
handlers in EFI push their interrupt frames directly on top of the
stack pointer. If the compiler used the red zone in a function in the
EFI loader, then a device interrupt that occurred while that function
was running could trash its local variables. In practice this happens
fairly reliable when using gzipfs as an interrupt during decompression
can trash the local variables in the inflate_table() function
resulting in corrupted output or hangs.
Fix this by disabling the redzone for amd64 EFI binaries. This
requires building not only the loader but any libraries used by the
loader without redzone support.
Thanks to Jilles for pointing me at the redzone once I found the stack
corruption.

bootloader. Implement the following routines:
pcibios-device-count count the number of instances of a devid
pcibios-read-config read pci config space
pcibios-write-config write pci config space
pcibios-find-devclass find the nth device with a given devclass
pcibios-find-device find the nth device with a given devid
pcibios-locator convert bus device function ti pcibios locator
These commands are thin wrappers over their PCI BIOS 2.1 counterparts. More
informaiton, such as it is, can be found in the standard.
Export a nunmber of pcibios.X variables into the environment to report
what the PCI IDENTIFY command returned.
Also implmenet a new command line primitive (pci-device-count), but don't
include it by default just yet, since it depends on the recently added
words and any errors here can render a system unbootable.
This is intended to allow the boot loader to do special things based
on the hardware it finds. This could be have special settings that are
optimized for the specific cards, or even loading special drivers. It
goes without saying that writing to pci config space should not be
done without a just cause and a sound mind.

The 32-bit bootloaders on amd64 now use the 32-bit version in ficl32,
as is done with libstand32. The native 64-bit ficl will be used by the
upcoming UEFI loader.

configuration.
When building ficl on MIPS, don't conflate 32-bit and 64-bit ISAs -- unlike
x86, we don't want a 32-bit loader on a 64-bit CPU. Use quite conservative
code generation -- e.g., softfloat, no GOT, etc -- suitable for early boot.

on the the other hand we can only use standard system interfaces.

The 'isdir?' word returns `true' if the file descriptor is for a
directory and `false' otherwise.
The 'freaddir' word reads the next directory entry and if successful,
returns its name and 'true'. Otherwise 'false' is returned.
These words give the loader the ability to scan directories and read
files contained in them for 'rc.d'-like flexibility in handling which
modules to load and/or which tunables to set.

(ARM uses 'int' and 'unsigned'; i386 uses 'long' and 'unsigned long'),
so we need explicit casts to long and unsigned long here to ensure
that the result matches the printf %ld and %lx specifiers.
.. so that consistent compilation algorithms are used for both
architectures as in practice the binaries are expected to be
interchangeable (for time being).
Previously i386 used default setting which were equivalent to
-march=i486 -mtune=generic.
The only difference is using smaller but slower "leave" instructions.

unnecessary full rebuilds each time make runs when directory is changed.
So do it only if symbolic link does not exists, which usually means that

This uses the common U-Boot support lib (sys/boot/uboot, already used on
FreeBSD/powerpc), and assumes the underlying firmware has the modern API for
stand-alone apps enabled in the config (CONFIG_API).
Only netbooting is supported at the moment.

The relevant changes for FreeBSD (excerpt from the release note):
* Newly implemented CORE EXT words: CASE, OF, ENDOF, and ENDCASE. Also
added FALLTHROUGH, which works like ENDOF but jumps to the instruction
just after the next OF.
* Bugfix: John-Hopkins locals syntax now accepts | and -- in the comment
(between the first -- and the }.)
* Bugfix: Changed vmGetWord0() to make Purify happier. The resulting
code is no slower, no larger, and slightly more robust.
The whole problem seems to be size. Which is odd, because it is said
that size doesn't matter. Anyway... Add -Os to strategic places in the
makefile to have the final loader be as mall as possible. This seems
to be enough to make it work. For now... I think something is more
fundamentally wrong; or something more fundamental is wrong. Potato,
potaato.
very pervasive in this code. This fixes a few of those assumptions and
band-aids over some others.
