macro. Adjust the buffer clipping code to work as expected.
This prevented a number of machines in the FreeBSD.org cluster from
booting due to "ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable"
after an unclean shutdown.
The new bcache code does not know the size of the disk, and therefore may attempt to read past the end of the disk while trying to fill its read-ahead cache.
This is usually not an issue, it fails gracefully on all of my machines, but some BIOSes seem to retry the reads for up to 30 seconds each, resulting in a long stall during boot

The block cache implementation in loader has proven to be almost useless, and in worst case even slowing down the disk reads due to insufficient cache size and extra memory copy.
Also the current cache implementation does not cache reads from CDs, or work with zfs built on top of multiple disks.
Instead of an LRU, this code uses a simple hash (O(1) read from cache), and instead of a single global cache, a separate cache per block device.
The cache also implements limited read-ahead to increase performance.
To simplify read ahead management, the read ahead will not wrap over bcache end, so in worst case, single block physical read will be performed to fill the last block in bcache.

system. This uses the hints mechnanism. This mostly works today
because when there's no static hints (the default), this value can be
fetched from the hint. When there is a static hints file, the hint
passed from the boot loader to the kernel is ignored, but for the BIOS
case we're able to find it anyway. However, with UEFI, the fallback
doesn't work, so we get a panic instead.
Switch to acpi.rsdp and use TUNABLE_ULONG_FETCH instead. Continue to
generate the old values to allow for transitions. In addition, fall
back to the old method if the new method isn't present.
Add comments about all this.

Add support for 4k sector GELI encrypted partitions to the bootloader
This is the default created by the installer
Because the IV is different for each sector, and the XTS tweak carries forward you can not decrypt a partial sector if the starting offset is not 0
Make boot2 and the loader read in 4k aligned chunks

to the boot.netif.mtu env var, which will be picked up by pre-existing code
in nfs_mountroot() and used to configure the interface accordingly.
This should bring the same functionality when the bootp/dhcp work is done
by loader(8) as r297150 does for the in-kernel BOOTP case.
These are no longer needed after the recent 'beforebuild: depend' changes
and hooking DIRDEPS_BUILD into a subset of FAST_DEPEND which supports
skipping 'make depend'.

I previously disconnected kgzdr based on a misunderstanding.
I'd still like to transition to supporting only the loader(8)-based
boot path for handling compressed kernels, but that can follow the
standard deprecation procedure.
This reverts r291113.

Most components are set to WARNS level 6 with few being left at lower

* Missing / invalid casts
* Missing inner structs
* Unused vars
* Missing static for internal only funcs
* Missing prototypes
* Alignment changes
* Use of uninitialised vars
* Unknown pragma (intrinsic)

pxeboot in tftp loader mode (when built with LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT) now
prefix all the path to open with the path obtained via the option 'root-path'
directive.
This allows to be able to use the traditional content /boot out of box. Meaning
it now works pretty much like all other loaders. It simplifies hosting hosting
multiple version of FreeBSD on a tftp server.
As a consequence, pxeboot does not look anymore for a pxeboot.4th (which was
never provided)
Note: that pxeboot in tftp loader mode is not built by default.

This is not properly respecting WITHOUT or ARCH dependencies in target/.
Doing so requires a massive effort to rework targets/ to do so. A
better approach will be to either include the SUBDIR Makefiles directly
and map to DIRDEPS or just dynamically lookup the SUBDIR. These lose
the benefit of having a userland/lib, userland/libexec, etc, though and
results in a massive package. The current implementation of targets/ is
very unmaintainable.
Currently rescue/rescue and sys/modules are still not connected.

Tracking these leads to situations where meta mode will consider the
