boot.scr is a u-boot script that loads and execute ubldr.bin
If not present u-boot will automatically boot loader.efi which
is already installed.
This means that all armv6/armv7 images are now booted via EFI

This is not a problem for 12-CURRENT as EFI boot works but it doesn't
for 11.
While here some board arm_install_uboot also copy ubldr.bin et create
firstboot files but it's already done in arm_install_boot

r332674 raised the size of the FAT partition from 2MB to 41MB for some
boards. But we format them in FAT12 and this size appears to be to big
for FAT12 and some SoC bootrom cannot cope with that.
Format the msdosfs partition as FAT16,

ubldr is the non-pie version of ubldr.bin, do not install two
copies of the same binary. This will allow us to remove ubldr
in the future.

a single arm/armv6 userland build which could be used for
all FreeBSD/armv6 images without UBLDR_LOADADDR being set
for each board (ultimately requiring a separate buildworld
for each currently).

While 480M is sufficient for 10-STABLE, 11-CURRENT images at
this size fail due to insufficient space.
This commit is solely for the sake of getting updated snapshot
builds out, after which I'll analyze the resulting images to
figure out what a more sane value is, even if the image size
for 11-CURRENT needs to differ from 10-STABLE.

Since the images are effectively mostly zeros at 1G,
reduce the size to allow installation on smaller SD
cards, such as 512Mb.
While here, stop writing the /boot.txt file on the
WANDBOARD, which isn't used anyway.

Of note:
- This commit adds native FreeBSD/arm release build support without
requiring out-of-tree utilities.
- Part of this merge removes the WANDBOARD-{SOLO,DUAL,QUAD} kernel
configuration files, for which the IMX6 kernel configuration file
should be used instead.
- The resulting images have a 'freebsd' user (password 'freebsd'),
to allow ssh(1) access when console access is not available (VGA
or serial). The default 'root' user password is set to 'root'.
- The /etc/ttys file for arm images now enable both ttyv0 and ttyu0
by default.

r269549:
Create a new project branch, release-noxdev, for
a sandbox workspace outside of head/ to update the
release bits for arm builds since the deprecation of
the XDEV and XDEV_ARCH make(1) variables.

prototypes.
r269552:
Call load_chroot_env() and load_target_env() where
they can be mutually conflicting with regard to

Remove XDEV/XDEV_ARCH evaluation if EMBEDDEDBUILD is set.
r269629:
In arm/release.sh, switch TARGET/TARGET_ARCH back to the
original XDEV/XDEV_ARCH make(1) variables.
In theory, this should have been a no-op, but the TARGET and
TARGET_ARCH are now unset in load_target_env() to avoid
collision with the chroot userland.
r269630:
Export variables in the arm/*.conf files because they
need to be passed through release.sh to arm/release.sh.
Set MK_TESTS=no for the xdev target.
r269635:
As part of the XDEV/XDEV_ARCH deprecation, the
'xdev-links' target was intentionally no longer
invoked automatically.
Invoke the xdev-links target after xdev, which
creates, for example, /usr/bin/armv6-freebsd-cc
symlink to /usr/armv6-freebsd/usr/bin/cc.

After several months of testing and fixing (and breaking)
various parts of release/release.sh changes, it is now
possible to build FreeBSD/arm images as part of the release
process.
When EMBEDDEDBUILD is set in the release.conf file, release.sh
will create the build environment, then run a separate script
in release/${XDEV}/release.sh [1]. Currently, only arm is
supported.
The release/${XDEV}/release.sh configures the build environment
specific for the target image, such as installing gcc(1),
installing additional third-party software from the ports tree,
and fetching external sources.
Once the build environment is set up, release/${XDEV}/release.sh
runs Crochet, written by Tim Kientzle, which builds the userland
and kernel, and creates an image that can be written to an SD
card with dd(1). Many thanks to Tim for his work on Crochet.
Sample configurations for FreeBSD/arm boards are in the
release/arm/ directory, and Crochet configuration files for each
board are located in release/tools/arm/. Supported boards at this
time are: BEAGLEBONE, PANDABOARD, RPI-B, and WANDBOARD-QUAD.
Adding support for additional boards will continue in the
projects/release-embedded/ branch, and incrementally merged back
to head/.
Many thanks to the FreeBSD Foundation for the support and
sponsorship of this project.
[1] XDEV is used in order to keep the various configurations
organized by architecture, but since TARGET and TARGET_ARCH
are used to build the chroot, the values of those variables
cannot be used.
