"device" is already used as the generic PCI-level name of the device
model to use (e.g. "hostbridge"). The result was that parsing
"hostbridge" as an integer failed and the host bridge used a device ID
of 0. The EFI ROM asserts that the device ID of the hostbridge is not
0, so booting with the current EFI ROM was failing during the ROM
boot.

Replace the existing ad-hoc configuration via various global variables
with a small database of key-value pairs. The database supports
heirarchical keys using a MIB-like syntax to name the path to a given
key. Values are always stored as strings. The API used to manage
configuation values does include wrappers to handling boolean values.
Other values use non-string types require parsing by consumers.
The configuration values are stored in a tree using nvlists. Leaf
nodes hold string values. Configuration values are permitted to
reference other configuration values using '%(name)'. This permits
constructing template configurations.
All existing command line arguments now set configuration values. For
devices, the "-s" option parses its option argument to generate a list
of key-value pairs for the given device.
A new '-o' command line option permits setting an individual
configuration variable. The key name is always given as a full path
of dot-separated components.
A new '-k' command line option parses a simple configuration file.
This configuration file holds a flat list of 'key=value' lines where
the 'key' is the full path of a configuration variable. Lines
starting with a '#' are comments.
In general, bhyve starts by parsing command line options in sequence
and applying those settings to configuration values. Once this is
complete, bhyve then begins initializing its state based on the
configuration values. This means that subsequent configuration
options or files may override or supplement previously given settings.
A special 'config.dump' configuration value can be set to true to help
debug configuration issues. When this value is set, bhyve will print
out the configuration variables as a flat list of 'key=value' lines.
Most command line argments map to a single configuration variable,
e.g. '-w' sets the 'x86.strictmsr' value to false. A few command
line arguments have less obvious effects:
- Multiple '-p' options append their values (as a comma-seperated
list) to "vcpu.N.cpuset" values (where N is a decimal vcpu number).
- For '-s' options, a pci.<bus>.<slot>.<function> node is created.
The first argument to '-s' (the device type) is used as the value of
a "device" variable. Additional comma-separated arguments are then
parsed into 'key=value' pairs and used to set additional variables
under the device node. A PCI device emulation driver can provide
its own hook to override the parsing of the additonal '-s' arguments
after the device type.
After the configuration phase as completed, the init_pci hook
then walks the "pci.<bus>.<slot>.<func>" nodes. It uses the
"device" value to find the device model to use. The device
model's init routine is passed a reference to its nvlist node
in the configuration tree which it can query for specific
variables.
The result is that a lot of the string parsing is removed from
the device models and centralized. In addition, adding a new
variable just requires teaching the model to look for the new
variable.
- For '-l' options, a similar model is used where the string is
parsed into values that are later read during initialization.
One key note here is that the serial ports use the commonly
used lowercase names from existing documentation and examples
(e.g. "lpc.com1") instead of the uppercase names previously
used internally in bhyve.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.

Since the 'hostbridge' device isn't a true pci-to-pci bridge, and
doesn't actaully use the bridge configuration space layout, change
the header-type from type 1 to type 0 to avoid confusion.

This passes the OpenBSD check to allow the use of MSI
on a PCI bus.
- Enable the i/o interrupt section of the mptable, and
populate it with unity ISA mappings. This allows the
'legacy' IRQ mappings of the PCI serial port to be
