After r336252 it is no longer necessary to have a separate bootpool when
booting from an encrypted disk with UEFI.
This change also switches the EFI System Partition contents from
the 800 KB boot1.efifat to a new 200 MB filesystem created with newfs_msdos
and uses loader.efi directly, instead of boot1.efi.

Some mpc85xx devices with u-boot need MBR partitioning with a FAT boot
partition. Since the infrastructure is already in place to have a dedicated
boot partition, this adds the necessary bits to use that infrastructure with
mpc85xx boards.

foundation for invoking efibootmgr as part of new-style EFI booting on
x86. On PS3 and PowerNV, which are booted using Linux kexec from petitboot
rather than by loader(8), install the kernel and the rest of /boot to a
FAT partition and set up the appropriate petitboot configuration file
there.
The new bootconfig installer stage can do platform-dependent modifications
more complex than partition layout and installation of boot blocks and can
be used to (as here) set up some special configuration files, run efibootmgr,
or boot0cfg.

one of the directories in the filesystem hierarchy is a FAT mountpoint,

Instead, make this a best-effort thing.
Handling this error is a hack and a better internal scheme for handling
this should be added to libarchive.

layer, for example, to specify that the EFI boot partition should be

This commit adds only the API for this; actual platform use will come later.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
When you install a computer for the first time, the date in the CMOS sometimes
not accurate and you need to ntpdate as ntpd will fail a the time difference
is too big.
Add an option in bsdinstall to enable ntpdate that will do that for us.

Enabling the PID randomization option in bsdinstall(8)'s hardening menu
now randomizes the effective value of kern.randompid on each boot.
Previous behaviour:
When kern.randompid was enabled via the the bsdinstall(8) hardening menu,
a random value was generated and placed in the systems /etc/sysctl.conf as
kern.randompid=value
This makes the value of kern.randompid static across reboots.
New behaviour:
When kern.randompid is enabled via the bsdinstall(8) hardening menu, the
line kern.randompid=1 is placed in the systems /etc/sysctl.conf.
This takes advantage of a new kernel feature and makes the value of
kern.randompid be randomized by the kernel on each reboot.
