The 2 files may not exist on other archs like aarch64 and hence we
can have a build failure there.

Doing this on physical hosts turns out to be problematic, e.g. see comment
24 and 28 in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211746.
To fix the real underlying issue correctly & thoroughly, IMO we need
a relocatable kernel, but that would require a lot of complicated long
term work: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D9686?id=25414#inline-56969
For now, let's only apply efi_verify_staging_size() to VMs running on
Hyper-V, and restore the old behavior on physical machines since that
has been working for people for a long period of time, though that's
potentially unsafe...

r314828(loader.efi: fix an off-by-one bug in efi_verify_staging_size())
doesn't really fix the bug and this patch adds the missing part.
It's a shame that I didn't make everything correct at the very beginning...

Also remove the warning message: it may not be unusual to see
the memory range containing 2MB is not of EfiConventionalMemory.

This patch fixes my recent patch
"loader.efi: reduce the size of the staging area if necessary", which
causes EFI-boot failure on physical machines since Mar 2:
on the host there is a 1MB LoaderData memory range, which splits
the big Conventional Memory range into a small one (15MB) and a
big one: the small one is too small to hold the staging area.
We can actually use the LoaderData range safely, because when
amd64_tramp -> efi_copy_finish() starts to run, we're almost at
the very end of the efi loader code and we're going to "return"
to the kernel entry, so we're pretty sure we won't access any loader
data any more.
For people who are interested in the details: please see
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211746#c22
PS, some people also reported the regression happened to FreeBSD VM
running on Bhyve in EFI mode. This patch should resolve it too,
though I don't have such a setup to test.

The loader assumes physical memory in [2MB, 2MB + EFI_STAGING_SIZE)
is Conventional Memory, but actually it may not, e.g. in the case
of Hyper-V Generation-2 VM (i.e. UEFI VM) running on Windows
Server 2012 R2 host, there is a BootServiceData memory block at
the address 47.449MB and the memory is not writable.
Without the patch, the loader will crash in efi_copy_finish():
see PR 211746.
The patch verifies the end of the staging area, and reduces its
size if necessary. This way, the loader will not try to write into
the BootServiceData memory any longer.
Thank Marcel Moolenaar for helping me on this issue!
The patch also allocates the staging area in the first 1GB memory.
See the comment in the patch for this.

This is required on my system, which loads nvidia, vmm, and zfs, and 48M is
no longer enough for that. nvidia-driver's recent update increased its size
by several megabytes.

Set WARNS if not set for EFI boot code and fix the issues highlighted by
setting it.
Most components are set to WARNS level 6 with few being left at lower
levels due to the amount of changes needed to fix at higher levels.
Error types fixed:
* 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)
* Missing types etc due to missing includes
* printf formatting types

hold the kernel, modules, and any other loaded data. This memory block
is relocated to the kernel's expected location during the transfer of
control from the loader to the kernel.
The GENERIC kernel on amd64 has recently grown such that a kernel + zfs.ko
no longer fits in the default staging size. Bump the default size from
32MB to 48MB to provide more breathing room.
