e6259531fa Implement -m and -p loader(8) "boot" command options in boot2.
(This is more useful for 4.x where boot blocks can still load
kernels, modulo the PR kern/17422.)

a0b913284f Add new boot flag to i386 boot: -p.
This flag adds a pausing utility. When ran with -p, during the kernel
probing phase, the kernel will pause after each line of output.
This pausing can be ended with the '.' key, and is automatically
suspended when entering ddb.

This flag comes in handy at systems without a serial port that either hang
during booting or reser.

09d142dfd5 mdoc(7) police:
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.

ff69d57172 Reboot(8) normally waits 5 seconds after sending SIGTERMs to all
processes and then sends SIGKILLs. If a lot of processes are swapped
out, this delay may not be long enough, so processes such as an X
server may be killed before they have had time to clean up properly.

Make this delay more dynamic by waiting up to 60 seconds for swap
page-in activity to end. While I'm here, ANSIfy and remove a
`register' specifier.
