bhyve was previously using stdin for both reading and writing to the
console, which made it difficult to redirect console output. Use
stdin for reading and stdout for writing. This makes it easier to use
bhyve as a backend for syzkaller.
As a side effect, the change fixes a minor bug which would cause bhyve
to fail with ENOTCAPABLE if configured to use nmdm for com1 and stdio
for com2.
bhyveload already uses separate descriptors, as does the bvmcons driver.

It is important to note, that I'm taking a more conservative approach

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
When using -l option targeting file that can't be opened (ie. nmdm module
is not loaded and /dev/nmdm* is specified) bhyve tries to apply capsicum
capabilities to a file that was not opened.
Enclose that code in an if statement and only run it on correctly opened
descriptor also providing meaningful message in case of an error.

The /etc/ttys entry for a serial console in FreeBSD/x86 is as follows:
ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire" vt100 onifconsole secure
The initial terminal type passed to getty(8) is "3wire" which sets the
CLOCAL flag. However reset(1) clears this flag and any programs that try
to open the terminal will hang waiting for DCD to be asserted.
Fix this by always asserting DCD and DSR in the emulated uart.

Failing to do this will cause the kevent(2) notification to trigger
continuously and the bhyve(8) mevent thread will hog the cpu until the
characters on the backend tty device are drained.
Also, make the uart backend file descriptor non-blocking to avoid a
select(2) before every byte read from that backend.

This fixes the issue of bhyve appearing to halt when using
nmdm ports for the console, until a connection is made to
the other end.
bhyveload already does this.
Reported by: Many.
MFC after: 3 weeks.
bhyveload: introduce the -c <device> parameter
to select a tty for output (or "stdio")
bhyve: allow the puc and lpc-com backends to
accept a tty in addition to "stdio"
When used in conjunction with the null-modem device,
nmdm(4), this allows attach/detach to the guest console
and multiple concurrent serial ports. kgdb on a serial
port is now functional.

to a virtual machine then we implicitly create COM1 and COM2 ISA devices.
Prior to this change the only way of attaching a COM port to the virtual
machine was by presenting it as a PCI device that is mapped at the legacy
I/O address 0x3F8 or 0x2F8.
There were some issues with the original approach:
- It did not work at all with UEFI because UEFI will reprogram the PCI device
BARs and remap the COM1/COM2 ports at non-legacy addresses.
- OpenBSD GENERIC kernel does not create a /dev/console because it expects
the uart device at the legacy 0x3F8/0x2F8 address to be an ISA device.
- It was functional with a FreeBSD guest but caused the console to appear
on /dev/ttyu2 which was not intuitive.
The uart emulation is now independent of the bus on which it resides. Thus it
is possible to have uart devices on the PCI bus in addition to the legacy
COM1/COM2 devices behind the LPC bus.
The command line option to attach ISA COM1/COM2 ports to a virtual machine is
"-s <bus>,lpc -l com1,stdio".
The command line option to create a PCI-attached uart device is:
"-s <bus>,uart[,stdio]"
The command line option to create PCI-attached COM1/COM2 device is:
"-S <bus>,uart[,stdio]". This style of creating COM ports is deprecated.
