Current implementation of dosfs in libstand reads full File Allocation Table to
the RAM in the initialization code. In the extreme case of FAT32 filesystem,
this structure will take up to 256-1024 Mb of loader memory, depending on the
cluster size.
Proposed patch reduces libstands/dosfs memory requirements to 128 Kb for all
variants of dosfs filesystem. For FAT12 and FAT16 filesystems, File Allocation
Table is cached in full, as before. For FAT32, File Allocation Table is broken
into the equal blocks of 128 Kilobytes (32768 entries), and only current block
is cached.
Because per-filesystem context is now small, global FAT cache (for all
instances of dosfs filesystem) is replaced by local per-instance cache.

While we have mechanisms in place to protect ourselves against the read
behind the disk end, there is still one corner case. As the GPT
partition table has backup table at the end of the disk, and we yet
do not know the size of the disk (if the wrong size is provided by the
firmware/bios), we need to limit the reads to avoid read ahead in such case.
Note: this update does add constant into stand.h, so the incremental build
will need to get local stand.h updated first.

Apparently the libstand dosfs optimization is a bit too optimistic
and did introduce possible memory corruption.
This patch is backing out the bad part and since this results in
dosfs reading full blocks now, we can also remove extra offset argument
from dv_strategy callback.
The analysis of the issue and the backout patch is provided by Mikhail Kupchik.

enabling walkers to interrupt the walk on non zero value from dv_print().
This will allow the pager_print actually to stop displaying data on

where it was missing.
For test, lsdev [-v] command should display data by screenfuls and should
stop when the key 'q' is pressed on pager prompt.

Add a new 'netproto' variable which can be set for now to
NET_TFTP or NET_NFS (default to NET_NONE)
From the dhcp options if one sets the root-path option to:
"ip:path", the loader will consider it is booting over NFS
(meaning same behaviour as the default current behaviour)
if the dhcp option "tftp server address" is set (option 150)
the loader will consider it is booting over tftpfs, it will then
consider the root-path options with 2 possible case
1. "path" then the IP of the tftp server will be the one passed by
the option 150, and the files will be retrieved under "path" on the tftp
server
2. "ip:path" then the IP of the tftp server will be the one passed in
the option "overwritting the IP from the option 150.
We could not "abuse" the rootpath option in the form or tftp://ip:path because
this is already used for other purpose by iPXE preventing any chainload from
iPXE to the FreeBSD loader.
Given at each open(), the loader loops over all available filesystems and keep
the "best" error, we needed to prevent tftpfs to fallback on nfs and vice versa.
the tftpfs and nfs implementation in libstand now return EINVAL early if
'netproto' for that purpose.

The block cache implementation in loader has proven to be almost useless, and in worst case even slowing down the disk reads due to insufficient cache size and extra memory copy.
Also the current cache implementation does not cache reads from CDs, or work with zfs built on top of multiple disks.
Instead of an LRU, this code uses a simple hash (O(1) read from cache), and instead of a single global cache, a separate cache per block device.
The cache also implements limited read-ahead to increase performance.
To simplify read ahead management, the read ahead will not wrap over bcache end, so in worst case, single block physical read will be performed to fill the last block in bcache.

wrapped in an i386 ifdef with a comment questioning their usefulness even
there. It turns out they aren't referenced anywhere, but their presence
prevents using sys/endian.h in libstand code.
These days, sys/endian.h provides much better support for such things, using
compiler builtins and inline functions (and creating connections between
libstand code and header files from sys/ would not be breaking new ground).
These are no longer needed after the recent 'beforebuild: depend' changes
and hooking DIRDEPS_BUILD into a subset of FAST_DEPEND which supports
skipping 'make depend'.
