- avoids issues due to different diskN naming schemes

a single device to be opened multiple times concurrently unfortunately
isn't sufficient with ZFS. This is due to the fact, that ZFS may open
different partitions of a single device simultaneously. So the best we
can do in this case is to cache the lastly used device path and close
and open devices in ofwd_strategy() as needed.

The generic ELF loading code maps the kernel into low memory
by subtracting KERN_BASE. So the copyin/copyout/readin functions
are always called with low addresses. This code finds the largest
DRAM block from the U-Boot memory map and adds that base to
the addresses.
In particular, this fixes ubldr on AM3358, which has DRAM
mapped to 0x80000000 at power-on.
The NAND Flash environment consists of several distinct components:
- NAND framework (drivers harness for NAND controllers and NAND chips)
- NAND simulator (NANDsim)
- NAND file system (NAND FS)
- Companion tools and utilities
- Documentation (manual pages)
This work is still experimental. Please use with caution.

The code previously assumed that copyin/copyout did no
address translation and that the device tree blob could
be manipulated in-place (with only a few adjustments for
the ELF loader offset). This isn't possible on all platforms,
so the revised code uses copyout() to copy the device tree
blob into a heap-allocated buffer and then updates the
device tree with copyout(). This isn't ideal, since it
bloats the loader memory usage, but seems the only feasible
approach (short of rewriting all of the fdt manipulation
routines).
This is to silence warnings that result from different definitions of
uint64_t on different architectures, specifically i386 and sparc64.

This way with the new zfsloader there is no need to explicitly set zfs
root filesystem either via vfs.root.mountfrom or fstab.
It should be automatically picked up from currdev which is by default
is set from bootfs.

In zfs loader zfs device name format now is "zfs:pool/fs",
fully qualified file path is "zfs:pool/fs:/path/to/file"
loader allows accessing files from various pools and filesystems as well
as changing currdev to a different pool/filesystem.
zfsboot accepts kernel/loader name in a format pool:fs:path/to/file or,
as before, pool:path/to/file; in the latter case a default filesystem
is used (pool root or bootfs). zfsboot passes guids of the selected
pool and dataset to zfsloader to be used as its defaults.
zfs support should be architecture independent and is provided
in a separate library, but architectures wishing to use this zfs support
still have to provide some glue code and their devdesc should be
compatible with zfs_devdesc.
arch_zfs_probe method is used to discover all disk devices that may
be part of ZFS pool(s).
libi386 unconditionally includes zfs support, but some zfs-specific
functions are stubbed out as weak symbols. The strong definitions
are provided in libzfsboot.
This change mean that the size of i386_devspec becomes larger
to match zfs_devspec.
Backward-compatibility shims are provided for recently added sparc64
zfs boot support. Currently that architecture still works the old
way and does not support the new features.
TODO:
- clear up pool root filesystem vs pool bootfs filesystem distinction
- update sparc64 support
- set vfs.root.mountfrom based on currdev (for zfs)
Mid-future TODO:
- loader sub-menu for selecting alternative boot environment
Distant future TODO:
- support accessing snapshots, using a snapshot as readonly root

V100, the firmware is known to be broken and not allowing to simultaneously
open disk devices, causing attempts to boot from a mirror or RAIDZ to cause
a crash. This will be worked around later. The firmwares of newer sun4u models
don't seem to exhibit this problem though.
Steps for ZFS booting:
1. create VTOC8 label
# gpart create -s vtoc8 da0
2. add partitions, f.e.:
# gpart add -t freebsd-zfs -s 60g da0
# gpart add -t freebsd-swap da0
resulting in something like:
# gpart show
=> 0 143331930 da0 VTOC8 (68G)
0 125821080 1 freebsd-zfs (60G)
125821080 17510850 2 freebsd-swap (8.4G)
3. create zpool
# zpool create bunker da0a
or for mirror/RAIDZ (after preparing additional disks as in steps 1. + 2.):
# zpool create bunker mirror da0a da1a
# zpool create bunker raidz da0a da1a da2a ...
4. set bootfs
# zpool set bootfs=bunker bunker
5. install zfsboot
# zpool export bunker
# gpart bootcode -p /boot/zfsboot da0
6. write zfsloader to the ZFS Boot Block (so far, there's no dedicated tool
for this, so dd(1) has to be used for this purpose)
When using mirror/RAIDZ, step 4. and the dd(1) invocation should be repeated
for the additional disks in order to be able to boot from another disk in
case of failure.
# sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10
# dd if=/boot/zfsloader of=/dev/da0a bs=512 oseek=1024 conv=notrunc
# zpool import bunker
7. install system on ZFS filesystem
Don't forget to set 'zfs_load="YES"' and vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:bunker" in
loader.conf as well as 'zfs_enable="YES"'in rc.conf.
8. copy zpool.cache to the ZFS filesystem
cp -p /boot/zfs/zpool.cache /bunker/boot/zfs/zpool.cache
9. set mountpoint
# zfs set mountpoint=/ bunker
10. Now, given that aliases for all disks in the zpool exists (check with
the `devalias` command on the boot monitor prompt) and disk0 corresponds
to da0 (likewise for additional disks), the system can be booted from the
ZFS with:
{1} ok boot disk0

code that is used to construct a loader (e.g. libstand, ficl, etc).
There is such a thing as a 64-bit EFI application, but it's not
as standard as 32-bit is. Let's make the 32-bit functional (as in
we can load and actualy boot a kernel) before solving the 64-bit
loader problem.
Before r228267 the option was honored but the original content of
boot.config was not preserved. I tried to fix that but missed the idea.
Now the proper way of doing things is taken from i386/boo2.
Also, a comment is added to explain this a little bit unobvious
behavior.

The menu item is now made completely independent with the ACPI item - most
modern systems seem to require ACPI and become even more "unsafe"
without it.
Safe Mode no longer disables APIC for the same reason.
kbdmux is not disabled as this feature has proven itself stable.
New actions:
- SMP is disabled in the Safe Mode now
- eventtimers are forced to periodic mode (some real and virtual systems
seem to have problems otherwise)
- geom extra vigorous integrity checking is disabled, this is to
facilitate migration from previous versions
Possible short term to do:
- make SMP switch a separate menu item
- restore APIC switch as a separate menu item
Longer term to do:
- turn various tweaks into separate menu items in a Safe Mode sub-menu
Please consider adding a safety tweak to Safe Mode when introducing
new major features or changes that may cause instabilities.

quantum bytewise to the address of a 64-bit variable results in writing
to the "wrong" 32-bit half so adjust the address accordingly. This fix
is implemented in a hackish way for two reasons:
o in order to be able to get it into 8.3 with zero impact on the little-
endian architectures where this bug has no effect and
o to avoid blowing the x86 boot2 out of the water again when compiling
it with clang, which all sane versions of this fix tested do.
This change fixes booting from UFS1 file systems on big-endian machines.
