The UEFI loader on the 10.1 release install disk (disc1) modifies an
existing EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL instance in an apparent attempt to
truncate the device path. In doing so it creates an invalid device
path.
Perform the equivalent action without modification of structures

The Allwinner SoC has an AHCI device on its internal main bus rather
than the PCI bus. This SoC is somewhat underdocumented, and its SATA
controller is no exception. The methods to support this chip were
harvested from the Linux Allwinner SDK, and then constants invented to
describe what's going on based on low-level constants contained in the
SATA standard and guess work.
This SoC requires a specific AHCI channel setup in order to start the
operations on the channel properly.
Clock setup and AHCI channel setup idea came from NetBSD.

The net result is that any unfortunate user of the loader's ub_env_enum()
function hitting this condition would be trapped in the infinite loop, as
the main use pattern of ub_env_enum() is basically the following:
while ((env = ub_env_enum(env)) != NULL) { DO STUFF }
Which would stuck forever with the last element.
fails to properly consider memory regions when the loader is
located below of those regions or engulfs their lower limit. This
results in "not enough RAM to load kernel" panic, which is totally
bogus. On top of that, there are some variables that can be left
unitialized in those cases, which might cause it fail with memory
access violation instead of panic while trying to load kernel to
a wrong or non-existing address of memory.
Augment the code to properly deal with the loader being below or
at the lower bound of the memory region in question. Also, don't
leave ununitialized variables behind.

interface open continuously instead of closing it after each filesystem
access and reopening it before the next (causing it to re-obtain network
params each time). This vastly speeds up netbooting.
it from the uboot net_init() implementation. The routine uses the standard
U-Boot env vars plus a freebsd-specific variable named "rootpath" (the
corresponding u-boot variable for that would be "bootfile" except that it
refers to ubldr, so a new name was needed to communicate the path to ubldr).
This allows ubldr to load a kernel from nfs without requiring a dhcp or
bootp server to provide the server ip and rootpath parameters.
than bootp and rarp.
The code which splits a serverip:/rootpath string into rootip and a plain
pathname is now a separate net_parse_rootpath() function that can be
called by others. The code that sets the kernel env vars needed for
nfs_diskless is moved into net_open() so that the variables get set no
matter where the params came from.
There was already code in net_open() that allowed for the possibility that
some other entity has set up the network-related global variables. It uses
the rootip variable as the key, assuming that if it is set all the other
required variables are set too. These changes don't alter the existing
behavior, they just make it easier to actually write some new code to get
the params from another source (such as the U-Boot environment).
Previously, ubldr would use the virtual addresses in the elf headers by
masking off the high bits and assuming the result was a physical address
where the kernel should be loaded. That would sometimes discard
significant bits of the physical address, but the effects of that were
undone by archsw copy code that would find a large block of memory and
apply an offset to the source/dest copy addresses. The result was that
things were loaded at a different physical address than requested by the
higher code layers, but that worked because other adjustments were applied
later (such as when jumping to the entry point). Very confusing, and
somewhat fragile.
Now the archsw copy routines are just simple copies, and instead
archsw.arch_loadaddr is implemented to choose a load address. The new
routine uses some of the code from the old offset-translation routine to
find the largest block of ram, but it excludes ubldr itself from that
range, and also excludes If ubldr splits the largest block of ram in
two, the kernel is loaded into the bottom of whichever resulting block is
larger.
As part of eliminating ubldr itself from the ram ranges, export the heap
start/end addresses in a pair of new global variables.
This change means that the virtual addresses in the arm kernel elf headers
now have no meaning at all, except for the entry point address. There is
an implicit assumption that the entry point is in the first text page, and
that the address in the the header can be turned into an offset by masking
it with PAGE_MASK. In the future we can link all arm kernels at a virtual
address of 0xC0000000 with no need to use any low-order part of the
address to influence where in ram the kernel gets loaded.

and installs ubldr.bin, a stripped binary (no elf headers) with an entry
point offset of 0 that can be loaded by u-boot at any address and launched
with "go ${loadaddr}".
To use ubldr.bin, U-Boot must still be built with the CONFIG_API option,
but no longer needs the CONFIG_ELF option.
