This allows us to boot FreeBSD RISCV on QEMU using the -kernel command line
options. When using that option, QEMU maps the kernel ELF file to the
addresses specified in the LMAs in the program headers.
Since version 4.2 QEMU ships with OpenSBI fw_jump by default so this allows
booting FreeBSD using the following command line:
qemu-system-riscv64 -bios default -kernel /.../boot/kernel/kernel -nographic -M virt
Without this change the -kernel option cannot be used since the LMAs start
at address zero and QEMU already maps a ROM to these low physical addresses.
For targets that require a different kernel LMA the make variable
KERNEL_LMA can be overwritten in the config file. For example, adding
`makeoptions KERNEL_LMA=0xc0200000` will create an ELF file that will be
loaded at 0xc0200000.

This makes clearing it (from locore.S) work without misaligned accesses
(which can trap to machine mode, and be slow).

The gp register is intended to used by the linker as another means of
performing relaxations, and should point to the small data section (.sdata).
Currently gp is being used as the pcpu pointer within the kernel, but the more
appropriate choice for this is the tp register, which is unused.
Swap existing usage of gp with tp within the kernel, and set up gp properly
at boot with the value of __global_pointer$ for all harts.
Additionally, remove some cases of accessing tp from the PCB, as it is not
part of the per-thread state. The user's tp and gp should be tracked only
through the trapframe.

After our migration (of certain architectures) to lld the kernel is built
with a unique build-ID. Make it available via a sysctl and uname(1) to
allow the user to identify their running kernel.

Ensure __bss_start is associated with the next section
in case orphan sections are placed directly after .sdata,

Machine privilege level was specially designed to use in vendor's
firmware or bootloader. We have implemented operation in machine
mode in FreeBSD as part of understanding RISC-V ISA, but it is time
to remove it.
We now use BBL (Berkeley Boot Loader) -- standard RISC-V firmware,
which provides operation in machine mode for us.
We now use standard SBI calls to machine mode, instead of handmade
'syscalls'.
o Remove HTIF bus.
HTIF bus is now legacy and no longer exists in RISC-V specification.
HTIF code still exists in Spike simulator, but BBL do not provide
raw interface to it.
Memory disk is only choice for now to have multiuser booted in Spike,
until Spike has implemented more devices (e.g. Virtio, etc).

The linker script CONSTRUCTORS keyword is only meaningful "when linking
object file formats which do not support arbitrary sections, such as
ECOFF and XCOFF"[1] and is ignored for other object file formats.
LLVM's lld does not yet accept (and ignore) CONSTRUCTORS, so just remove
CONSTRUCTORS from the linker scripts as it has no effect.

This is the final step required allowing to compile and to run RISC-V
kernel and userland from HEAD.
RISC-V is a completely open ISA that is freely available to academia
and industry.
Thanks to all the people involved! Special thanks to Andrew Turner,
David Chisnall, Ed Maste, Konstantin Belousov, John Baldwin and
Arun Thomas for their help.
