de76c8189e Remove bootinfo.bi_kernel. It isn't used by the kernel. struct bootinfo
should go away on ia64, we should be loader metadata based since that is
the only way we can boot (loader, skiload).

0b02d706db * Enable dynamically linked kernel. This involves adding a self-relocator
to locore to process the @fptr relocations in the dynamic executable.
* Don't initialise the timer until *after* we install the timecounter to
  avoid a race between timecounter initialisation and hardclock.
* Tidy up bootinfo somewhat including adding sanity checks for when the
  kernel is loaded without a recognisable bootinfo.

e763b778c8 * Make a start on a realistic definition for bootinfo.
* Switch to proc0's stack and backing store before calling ia64_init
  so that we don't rely on the loader's stack at all.
* Change kernel entry point name from locorestart to __start.

1ebcad5720 This is the first snapshot of the FreeBSD/ia64 kernel. This kernel will
not work on any real hardware (or fully work on any simulator). Much more
needs to happen before this is actually functional but its nice to see
the FreeBSD copyright message appear in the ia64 simulator.
