0463b4a2fb Major rework of the ia64 loaders. The two primary objectives are:
1. Make libefi portable by removing ia64 specific code and build
   it on i386 and amd64 by default to prevent regressions. These
   changes include fixes and improvements over previous code to
   establish or improve APIs where none existed or when the amount
   of kluging was unacceptably high.
2. Increase the amount of sharing between the efi and ski loaders
   to improve maintainability of the loaders and simplify making
   changes to the loader-kernel handshaking in the future.

The version of the efi and ski loaders are now both changed to 1.2
as user visible improvements and changes have been made.

932d8c46a2 Extend struct devdesc with a unit field, called d_unit. Promote the
device (kind) specific unit field to the common field. This change
allows a future version of libefi to work without requiring anything
more than what is defined in struct devdesc and as such makes it
possible to compile said version of libefi for different platforms
without requiring that those platforms have identical derivatives
of struct devdesc.

5cae408f81 Don't unconditionally compile-in the bcache code. It's only used on
i386/amd64 and pc98. Remove useless calls to bcache_init() from the
ia64 and sparc64 loaders, as well as from the OFW common code.

c770dc0b63 Fix the ski loader, broken by the gcc upgrade. Update the linker
script to match the one for the EFI loader and rewrite __start()
in assembly to have gp defined without getting in the way of the
compiler.

c692fbe091 At great personal risk, add a __packed and __aligned(x) define that
expand to __attribute__((packed)) and __attribute__((aligned(x)))
respectively.  Replace the handful of gcc-ism's that use
__attribute__((aligned(16))) etc around the kernel with __aligned(16).

There are over 400 __attribute__((packed)) to deal with, that can come
later.  I just want to use __packed in new code rather than add more
gcc-ism's.

3a19b480c8 Add a version of the loader which runs under SKI, the HP ia64 simulator.
This loader is quite functional and can load and run kernels. The kernels
don't quite work right after loading but that should be easily fixable.
