Doug Rabson 9777aa3f12 Add a version of the FreeBSD bootloader which can run in userland, packaged
as a shared library. This is intended to be used by BHyVe to load FreeBSD
kernels into new virtual machines.

/*
* Device descriptor for partitioned disks. We assume that all disk addresses
* are 512 byte block offsets from the start of the disk. To use, set the
* d_slice and d_partition variables as follows:
*
* Whole disk access:
*
* d_slice = -1
* d_partition = -1
*
* Whole MBR slice:
*
* d_slice = MBR slice number (typically 1..4)
* d_partition = -1
*
* BSD disklabel partition within an MBR slice:
*
* d_slice = MBR slice number (typically 1..4)
* d_partition = disklabel partition (typically 0..7)
*
* GPT partition:
*
* d_slice = GPT partition number (typically 1..N)
* d_partition = 255
*
* For both MBR and GPT, to automatically find the 'best' slice or partition,
* set d_slice to zero. This uses the partition type to decide which partition
* to use according to the following list of preferences:
*
* FreeBSD (active)
* FreeBSD (inactive)
* Linux (active)
* Linux (inactive)
* DOS/Windows (active)
* DOS/Windows (inactive)
*
* Active MBR slices (marked as bootable) are preferred over inactive. GPT
* doesn't have the concept of active/inactive partitions. In both MBR and GPT,
* if there are multiple slices/partitions of a given type, the first one
* is chosen.
*
* The low-level disk device will typically call slice_open() from its open
* method to interpret the disk partition tables according to the rules above.
* This will initialize d_offset to the block offset of the start of the
* selected partition - this offset should be added to the offset passed to
* the device's strategy method.
