74cd06b42e Expose the kernel's build-ID through sysctl
After our migration (of certain architectures) to lld the kernel is built
with a unique build-ID.  Make it available via a sysctl and uname(1) to
allow the user to identify their running kernel.

6f0c70d446 Explicitly include all .rodata.* sections in the kernel .rodata. This
helps link the kernel with lld as it will then put all these into a single
.rodata section.

45eff3df96 remove CONSTRUCTORS from kernel linker scripts
The linker script CONSTRUCTORS keyword is only meaningful "when linking
object file formats which do not support arbitrary sections, such as
ECOFF and XCOFF"[1] and is ignored for other object file formats.

LLVM's lld does not yet accept (and ignore) CONSTRUCTORS, so just remove
CONSTRUCTORS from the linker scripts as it has no effect.

e5acd89c78 Bring in the start of the arm64 kernel.
This is only the minimum set of files needed to boot in qemu. As such it is
missing a few things.

The bus_dma code is currently only stub functions with a full implementation
from the development tree to follow.

The gic driver has been copied as the interrupt framework is different. It
is expected the two drivers will be merged by the arm intrng project,
however this will need to be imported into the tree and support for arm64
would need to be added.

This includes code developed by myself, SemiHalf, Ed Maste, and Robin
Randhawa from ARM. This has been funded by the FreeBSD Foundation, with
early development by myself in my spare time with assistance from Robin.
