- Added magic numbers to pretend the NEC original program version
2.70.
- Added string display routine with Shift-JIS code support.
- Added three nop instructions at start1 in start.s since the
installaer of the IPLware put 'call $0x09ab' instruction.
- Put the near return instruction at 0x9ab in selector.s.
Since the Shit-JIS display routine must be located at 0x1243, the
linker script file (ldscript) is applied.
bootinfo variable declaration visible. It conflicts with static
declaration in this file. Declare variable as globally visible in
order to resolve the conflict.
to get the physical address doesn't work for all values of KVA_PAGES,
while masking 8 MSBs works for all values of KVA_PAGES that are
multiple of 4 for non-PAE and 8 for PAE. (This leaves us limited
with 12MB for non-PAE kernels and 14MB for PAE kernels.)
To get things right, we'd need to subtract the KERNBASE from the
virtual address (but KERNBASE is not easy to figure out from here),
or have physical addresses set properly in the ELF headers.

device (kind) specific unit field to the common field. This change
allows a future version of libefi to work without requiring anything
more than what is defined in struct devdesc and as such makes it
possible to compile said version of libefi for different platforms
without requiring that those platforms have identical derivatives
of struct devdesc.
are no longer limited to a virtual address space of 16 megabytes,
only mask high two bits of a virtual address. This allows to load
larger kernels (up to 1 gigabyte). Not masking addresses at all
was a bad idea on machines with less than >3G of memory -- kernels
are linked at 0xc0xxxxxx, and that would attempt to load a kernel
at above 3G. By masking only two highest bits we stay within the
safe limits while still allowing to boot larger kernels.
(This is a safer reimplmentation of sys/boot/i386/boot2/boot.2.c
rev. 1.71.)

sync() and sync_fsync() without losing MNT_ASYNC. Add MNTK_ASYNC flag
which is set only when MNT_ASYNC is set and mnt_noasync is zero, and
check that flag instead of MNT_ASYNC before initiating async io.

- Teach the i386 and pc98 loaders to honor multiple console requests from
their respective boot2 binaries so that the same console(s) are used in
both boot2 and the loader.
- Since the kernel doesn't support multiple consoles, whichever console is
listed first is treated as the "primary" console and is passed to the
kernel in the boot_howto flags.
