bioscom is called to set up serial port parameters because COMSPEED
was treated as an address instead of an immediate value, causing
serial port parameters to never be set.

The relevant changes for FreeBSD (excerpt from the release note):
* Newly implemented CORE EXT words: CASE, OF, ENDOF, and ENDCASE. Also
added FALLTHROUGH, which works like ENDOF but jumps to the instruction
just after the next OF.
* Bugfix: John-Hopkins locals syntax now accepts | and -- in the comment
(between the first -- and the }.)
* Bugfix: Changed vmGetWord0() to make Purify happier. The resulting
code is no slower, no larger, and slightly more robust.
I created and tested this with a custom FreeSBIE cd-image.

storage BIOS (some newer mpt(4) parts) have a breakpoint instruction in
their disk read routine.

1. Make libefi portable by removing ia64 specific code and build
it on i386 and amd64 by default to prevent regressions. These
changes include fixes and improvements over previous code to
establish or improve APIs where none existed or when the amount
of kluging was unacceptably high.
2. Increase the amount of sharing between the efi and ski loaders
to improve maintainability of the loaders and simplify making
changes to the loader-kernel handshaking in the future.
The version of the efi and ski loaders are now both changed to 1.2
as user visible improvements and changes have been made.
to get the physical address doesn't work for all values of KVA_PAGES,
while masking 8 MSBs works for all values of KVA_PAGES that are
multiple of 4 for non-PAE and 8 for PAE. (This leaves us limited
with 12MB for non-PAE kernels and 14MB for PAE kernels.)
To get things right, we'd need to subtract the KERNBASE from the
virtual address (but KERNBASE is not easy to figure out from here),
or have physical addresses set properly in the ELF headers.

device (kind) specific unit field to the common field. This change
allows a future version of libefi to work without requiring anything
more than what is defined in struct devdesc and as such makes it
possible to compile said version of libefi for different platforms
without requiring that those platforms have identical derivatives
of struct devdesc.
