After digging through more carefully, it looks like there's
no real need to have the DTB in the module directory.
So we can simplify a lot: Just copy DTB into local heap
for "fdt addr" and U-Boot integration, drop all the extra
COPYIN() calls.
I've left one final COPYIN() to update the in-kernel DTB
for consistency with how this code used to work, but I'm
no longer convinced it's appropriate here.
I've also remove the mem_load_raw() utility that I added
to boot/common/module.c with r247045 since it's no longer
necessary.
This will be used by some upcoming changes to loader(8) FDT
handling to allow it to use an FDT provided by an earlier
boot stage the same as an FDT loaded from disk.
r238966
Bump up the heap size to 1MB. With a few kernel modules, libstand
zalloc and userboot seem to want to use ~600KB of heap space, which
results in a segfault when malloc fails in bhyveload.
r241180
Clarify comment about default number of FICL dictionary cells.
r241153
Allow the number of FICL dictionary cells to be overridden.
Loading a 7.3 ISO with userboot/amd64 takes up 10035 cells,
overflowing the long-standing default of 10000.
Bump userboot's value up to 15000 cells.

- clarify meaning of console flags
- perform i/o via a console only if both of the following conditions are met:
o console is active (selected by user or config)
o console flags that it can perform the operation
- warn if a chosen console can not work (the warning may go nowhere without
working and active console, though)

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.
number is not exactly specified. When the disk has MBR, also try to read
BSD label after ptable_getpart() call. When the disk has GPT, also set
d_partition to 255. Mostly, this is how it worked before.
When we open the disk, check the type of partition table, that has
been detected. If this is BSD label, then we assume this is DD mode.

It uses new API from the part.c to work with partition tables.
Update userboot's disk driver to use new API. Note that struct
loader_callbacks_v1 has changed.
This way with the new zfsloader there is no need to explicitly set zfs
root filesystem either via vfs.root.mountfrom or fstab.
It should be automatically picked up from currdev which is by default
is set from bootfs.

In zfs loader zfs device name format now is "zfs:pool/fs",
fully qualified file path is "zfs:pool/fs:/path/to/file"
loader allows accessing files from various pools and filesystems as well
as changing currdev to a different pool/filesystem.
zfsboot accepts kernel/loader name in a format pool:fs:path/to/file or,
as before, pool:path/to/file; in the latter case a default filesystem
is used (pool root or bootfs). zfsboot passes guids of the selected
pool and dataset to zfsloader to be used as its defaults.
zfs support should be architecture independent and is provided
in a separate library, but architectures wishing to use this zfs support
still have to provide some glue code and their devdesc should be
compatible with zfs_devdesc.
arch_zfs_probe method is used to discover all disk devices that may
be part of ZFS pool(s).
libi386 unconditionally includes zfs support, but some zfs-specific
functions are stubbed out as weak symbols. The strong definitions
are provided in libzfsboot.
This change mean that the size of i386_devspec becomes larger
to match zfs_devspec.
Backward-compatibility shims are provided for recently added sparc64
zfs boot support. Currently that architecture still works the old
way and does not support the new features.
TODO:
- clear up pool root filesystem vs pool bootfs filesystem distinction
- update sparc64 support
- set vfs.root.mountfrom based on currdev (for zfs)
Mid-future TODO:
- loader sub-menu for selecting alternative boot environment
Distant future TODO:
- support accessing snapshots, using a snapshot as readonly root

quantum bytewise to the address of a 64-bit variable results in writing
to the "wrong" 32-bit half so adjust the address accordingly. This fix
is implemented in a hackish way for two reasons:
o in order to be able to get it into 8.3 with zero impact on the little-
endian architectures where this bug has no effect and
o to avoid blowing the x86 boot2 out of the water again when compiling
it with clang, which all sane versions of this fix tested do.
This change fixes booting from UFS1 file systems on big-endian machines.

The index() and rindex() functions were marked LEGACY in the 2001
revision of POSIX and were subsequently removed from the 2008 revision.
The strchr() and strrchr() functions are part of the C standard.
This makes the source code a lot more consistent, as most of these C
files also call into other str*() routines. In fact, about a dozen
already perform strchr() calls.
In an example of boot command:
- rename wd(4) IDE disk drives name to ad(4) for the time being.
- update the used kernel path "/kernel" to the current default.
[It still worked occasionally by looking into the /boot/kernel directory,
so the resulting path was "/boot//kernel/kernel", with two slashes.]
Bump .Dd for this and previous changes.
