bootinfo structure where bi_esymtab < bi_symtab was being passed

This should resolve a problem reported on -current by Peter Jeremy
<peter.jeremy@auss2.alcatel.com.au>.
I added a FICL_TRACE-conditioned trace facility based on "see".
It is ugly because words' functions are almost all static, and ficlExec,
where the trace has to be located, can't get their pointers. So, #ifdef
this staticization, and add most of see's body into ficlExec. Duplication
of code, uglyness, etc. But it is cleanly #ifdef'ed, and works like a
charm.
It does not provide "step" facility, though, just trace. It is
tunable at run-time through "trace!". If anyone (most likely me :) ever
wants a step facility, I'll add it. Should be easy.

Move the relocated boot1 and arg transfer space from 0x600/0x800 to
0x700/0x900. In theory this should make no difference, apart from the fact
that Buslogic controllers happen to use a few bytes at 0x600 for some sort
of scratch space for it's int 0x13 hook (!!!), causing the machine to crash
badly when the boot2 code makes it's callbacks into boot1 for disk IO.

the first time block 0 is read. This fix initialises the block
numbers to -1 which isn't the most correct thing for a daddr_t but
it isn't likely to cause a problem in the boot blocks and it could
do with a more thought out fix later.
The bug is probably benign on the i386 but on the alpha it can
cause initial file opens to fail. This is the cause of the "can't
open /boot/boot.conf" errors.
It appears on the alpha because of a number of combining factors.
On the alpha the LABELSECTOR is 0 so block 0 needs to be read in
from the media. The first time this happens you get a false hit
because the bc_blkno field is zero initially. Also, the timestamp
check against this cache hit succeeds because on the alpha a hacked
getsecs() function can return 0 when it starts counting so that
the zero initial timestamp + BCACHE_TIMEOUT is greater than the
current time until getsecs() has counted passed BCACHE_TIMEOUT.
The overall effect is that the first open() that occurs gets a
false cache hit and returns garbage to the bd_strategy() function
which then fails the open() call. This false hit then stays in the
cache until BCACHE_TIMEOUT getsecs() ticks have passed; all open()
calls during this time fail.
This explains why you can generally access the media by the time
you get to interp() and start issuing commands but the earlier
attempts to run the boot scripts are failing.
It's possible that this is causing the problem switching to the
mfsroot floppy as well but I haven't confirmed that.

this will allow us to manage bloat in the loader by using a bytecoded HLL

or others with special applications to significantly customise the boot
process without having to commit to a divergent code branch.

and will bypass transfers for more than 8k. Blocks are invalidated after
2 seconds, so removable media should not confuse the cache.
The 8k threshold is a compromise; all UFS transfers performed by
libstand are 8k or less, so large file reads thrash the cache.
However many filesystem metadata operations are also performed using
8k blocks, so using a lower threshold gives poor performance.
Those of you with an eye for cache algorithms are welcome to tell me
how badly this one sucks; you can start with the 'bcachestats' command
which will print the contents of the cache and access statistics.

Drastically quieten down the verbose load progress messages. They were

Simplify the ELF extended symbol table load format. Just take the main
symbol table and the string table that corresponds. This is what we will
be getting local symbols from. (needed for the alpha stack tracebacks).
Use the (optional) full symbol tables in lookups. This means we have to
furhter distinguish between symbols that can come from the dynamic linking
table and the complete table.
The alpha boot code now needs to be adapted as ddb/db_elf.c cannot use
the simpler format.
I have not implemented loading the extended symbol tables from the syscall
interface yet, just for preloaded modules.
I am not sure about the symbol resolution. I *think* it's possible that
a local symbol can be found in preference to a global, depending on the
search sequence and dependency tree.

normally terminate at the first error, however if the script line
begins with '-' this behaviour is overriden for that command.

reverse seek, ~2K from memory).
This is intended to be compatable with the ddb/db_elf.c code and the

I think (but have not tested) it will also load "old" ELF kernels that

The module glue is yet to come. (oh fun.. :-)
It does not explicitly load symbols [yet]. The _DYNAMIC data contains a
runtime symbol set that ddb can use via ddb/db_kld.c. It'll be missing
some detail that stabs normally provides (eg: number of args to a function,
line numbers, etc). On the other hand, those minimal symbols will always
be available even on a stripped kernel.
This is mostly stolen from load_aout.c with some ideas from
alpha/libalpha/elf_freebsd.c.
Presumably VTOP doesn't work for static objects.
The easiest way to get it working was to reserve some space after the
