Currently, the installer uses pre-created 800KB FAT12 filesystems that
it dd's onto the ESP partition.
This changeset improves that by having the installer generate a FAT32
filesystem directly onto the ESP using newfs_msdos and then copying
loader.efi into /EFI/freebsd.
For live installs it then runs efibootmgr to add a FreeBSD boot entry
in the BIOS.

The removal (and creation of a port) has been pre-announced in UPDATING
1 month ago. Packages are available for all supported FreeBSD vesions.
I did not think that another entry in UPDATING is required to note the
actual removal.
No MFC is planned - CTM shall be kept in base for all releases up to 12.x.

to shrink libllvm.a.
This is a workaround for "relocation truncated to fit" errors with BFD
ld 2.17.50 on arm and armv6, when linking executables against it.
The required range extensions are not yet supported by this very old
version of BFD ld. When arm and armv6 userland can be successfully
linked by lld, this workaround can be removed.
o Dynamically load all the .so files found in /libexec/nvmecontrol and
/usr/local/libexec/nvmecontrol.
o Link nvmecontrol -rdynamic so that its symbols are visible to the
libraries we load.
o Create concatinated linker sets that we dynamically expand.
o Add the linked-in top and logpage linker sets to the mirrors for them
and add those sets to the mirrors when we load a new .so.
o Add some macros to help hide the names of the linker sets.
o Update the man page.

pfsync code is called for every new state, state update and state
deletion in pf. While pf itself can operate on multiple states at the
same time (on different cores, assuming the states hash to a different
hashrow), pfsync only had a single lock.
This greatly reduced throughput on multicore systems.
Address this by splitting the pfsync queues into buckets, based on the
state id. This ensures that updates for a given connection always end up
in the same bucket, which allows pfsync to still collapse multiple
updates into one, while allowing multiple cores to proceed at the same
time.
The number of buckets is tunable, but defaults to 2 x number of cpus.
Benchmarking has shown improvement, depending on hardware and setup, from ~30%
to ~100%.
