This is largely the work from the projects/uefi branch, with some
additional refinements. This is derived from (and replaces) the
original i386 efi implementation; i386 support will be restored later.
Specific revisions of note from projects/uefi:
r247380:
Adjust our load device when we boot from CD under UEFI.
The process for booting from a CD under UEFI involves adding a FAT
filesystem containing your loader code as an El Torito boot image.
When UEFI detects this, it provides a block IO instance that points at
the FAT filesystem as a child of the device that represents the CD
itself. The problem being that the CD device is flagged as a "raw
device" while the boot image is flagged as a "logical partition". The
existing EFI partition code only looks for logical partitions and so
the CD filesystem was rendered invisible.
To fix this, check the type of each block IO device. If it's found to
be a CD, and thus an El Torito boot image, look up its parent device
and add that instead so that the loader will then load the kernel from
the CD filesystem. This is done by using the handle for the boot
filesystem as an alias.
Something similar to this will be required for booting from other
media as well as the loader will live in the EFI system partition, not
on the partition containing the kernel.
r246231:
Add necessary code to hand off from loader to an amd64 kernel.
r246335:
Grab the EFI memory map and store it as module metadata on the kernel.
This is the same approach used to provide the BIOS SMAP to the kernel.
r246336:
Pass the ACPI table metadata via hints so the kernel ACPI code can
find them.
r246608:
Rework copy routines to ensure we always use memory allocated via EFI.
The previous code assumed it could copy wherever it liked. This is not
the case. The approach taken by this code is pretty ham-fisted in that
it simply allocates a large (32MB) buffer area and stages into that,
then copies the whole area into place when it's time to execute. A more
elegant solution could be used but this works for now.
r247214:
Fix a number of problems preventing proper handover to the kernel.
There were two issues at play here. Firstly, there was nothing
preventing UEFI from placing the loader code above 1GB in RAM. This
meant that when we switched in the page tables the kernel expects to
be running on, we are suddenly unmapped and things no longer work. We
solve this by making our trampoline code not dependent on being at any
given position and simply copying it to a "safe" location before
calling it.
Secondly, UEFI could allocate our stack wherever it wants. As it
happened on my PC, that was right where I was copying the kernel to.
This did not cause happiness. The solution to this was to also switch
to a temporary stack in a safe location before performing the final
copy of the loaded kernel.

A 32-bit libstand is needed on 64-bit platforms for use by various
bootloaders. Previously only the 32-bit version was built, installed as
/usr/lib/libstand.a.
A new 64-bit libstand consumer will arrive in the near future, so move
the bootloader-specific 32-bit version to sys/boot/libstand32/.
Explicitly link against this version in the 32-bit loaders.

This is because several Makefiles under sys/boot/i386 and sys/boot/pc98

This fix is not ideal as it assumes a 32 bit int, but does fix the issue

gcc handles -symbolic by passing -Bsymbolic through to ld. clang ignores
-symbolic and thus invokes ld without -Bsymbolic which leads to some symbols
not being properly linked in loader.efi. Fix this by using -Wl,-Bsymbolic which
passes -Bsymbolic to ld in both the gcc and clang cases.

The sole purpose of this change is to make sure that sizeof produces
"canonical" sizes for these structures. This is to avoid triggering
bugs in the BIOSes that properly handle only the canonical values of
input length provided to INT 13h AH=48h.
The canonical sizes are: 30 for v2, 66 for v3, etc.
Buggy BIOS code probably looks like:
if (input_length > 30) { /* > v2 */
assume that input length is 66 /* assume v3 or later */
}
This should fix boot problems at least on Supermicro X8DT6 and possibly
on P410i Smart Array Controller (as found in e.g. HP DL360 G7).

disk_open(). Very often this is called several times for one file.
This leads to reading partition table metadata for each call. To
reduce the number of disk I/O we have a simple block cache, but it
is very dumb and more than half of I/O operations related to reading
metadata, misses this cache.
Introduce new cache layer to resolve this problem. It is independent
and doesn't need initialization like bcache, and will work by default
for all loaders which use the new DISK API. A successful disk_open()
call to each new disk or partition produces new entry in the cache.
Even more, when disk was already open, now opening of any nested
partitions does not require reading top level partition table.
So, if without this cache, partition table metadata was read around
20-50 times during boot, now it reads only once. This affects the booting
from GPT and MBR from the UFS.
Use of __builtin_constant_p in a function that is only called via
a pointer is a good example of how out-of-date it was.

libstand(3) tries to detect file system in the predefined order,
but zfsloader usually is used for the booting from ZFS, and there is
no need to try detect several file system types for each open() call.
in sys/boot/i386/libi386/biosdisk.c. Otherwise, when DISK_DEBUG is
enabled, the DEBUG() macros will clobber those fields, and cause the
probing to always fail mysteriously when debugging is enabled.
