We now have a u-boot port and config.txt for booting on all 64bits
variant of the RPI boards (RPI2v1.1, RPI3* and RPI4*) so use
the new u-boot-rpi-arm64 and the config_arm64.txt files.
Discussed with: karels, kevans
For platforms that don't have any of the memstick, cdrom, or dvdrom
release images (i.e. riscv64), the release-install target will trip up
when invoking md5(1) on the non-existent image files. Skipping this
allows the install to complete successfully.
Add two release flavors for RISC-V. First, the traditional "big-iron"
images, capable of generating distribution sets and VM images. Installer
images won't be built yet, but can be trivially enabled in the future
with the addition of riscv/make-memstick.sh.
Second, a GENERICSD embedded image. I've opted for this instead of
board-specific SD card images as it allows users to just dd the u-boot
they want. The RISC-V hardware ecosystem is still young, so a
configuration for e.g. the new PolarFire SoC Icicle Kit would likely see
very few users.

RISC-V has the same booting requirements as arm64 (loader.efi, no legacy
boot options), so generated images for both architectures have the same
partition layout.

Since the few existing RISC-V hardware platforms are single board
computers, we can piggyback off of arm/arm64's embedded build support
for generating SD card images.
I don't see a pressing need to change the naming in this file at this
time.

Both RPI2 and BEAGLEBONE are still popular and used arm boards.
Both u-boots can coexist as they are named differently and live in the
fat partition.
This leave us with only one image that can be used for both of those
boards and all the other ones supported by FreeBSD provided that you
install the correct u-boot on it.

Allwinner bootrom have an alternate location for u-boot at 128k.
Work was made recently in u-boot to relocate correctly if loaded from
there.
The advantage of this offset is that we can now use a GPT scheme.
A lot of projects CI can't do FreeBSD tests currently.
The main reason is that the project CI infrastructure is runned on Linux
and that our images aren't modifiable from a Linux hosts.
Add a basic image specific for this case (called BASIC-CI for a lack of a
better name).
The image have no package pre-installed.
It only have a few modification to have dhcp client runned on the default
interface and sshd started with option to be able to log on without a password
as root.

We create a UFS root filesystem using makefs(8), and later pass it to
mkimg(1) when creating the final image. The correct partition type is
freebsd-ufs; the freebsd parition type is for partitions containing a
BSD disklabel.

These images were switched to MBR in r281876 as a way to cope with a
hard-coded partition GUID in QEMU's default EFI firmware. Enough time
has passed that this is no longer a problem; QEMU versions >= 4.0
include a copy of edk2 EFI firmware that can detect the root filesystem
properly. Alternatively, sysutils/u-boot-qemu-arm64 can be used.
Switch back to building these images with a GPT partition table, and
re-enable the swap partition.

The return code of write_partition_layout() doesn't bubble up, so an
invocation of make vm-release for an incorrect/unsupported target will
appear to succeed while make vm-install will fail due to missing
files. This isn't a common point of failure, but is worth handling
properly.
Upgrade this case to print a message to stderr, and exit in place. This
is okay to do since at this point in the execution of mk-vmimage.sh,
cleanup() has already been run.

At some poing over the last week, the bootx64.efi file has grown
past the 800KB threshold, resulting in being unable to copy it to
the EFI/BOOT directory.
# stat -f %z efiboot.znWo7m
819200
# stat -f %z stand-test.PIEugN/EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi
842752
The comment in the script that creates the ISOs suggests that 800KB
is the maximum allowed for the boot code, however I was able to
boot an ISO with a 1024KB boot partition. Additionally, I verified
against an ISO from OtherOS, where the boot EFI partition is 2.4MB.

Some IPMI implementations on arm64 are reportedly unable to load our
memstick installer images, but support the older ISO format. Start
generating these for arm64.
Unlike installer ISOs for other platforms, these images are UEFI-only.

Prior to this commit, EC2 AMIs used a "dual-dhclient" tool which was
launched in place of dhclient and spawned both the base system dhclient
for IPv4 and the ISC dhclient from ports for IPv6.
Now that rtsold supports the "M bit" (managed configuration), we can go
back to having the base system dhclient spawned normally, and provide a
script to rtsold which spawns the ISC dhclient from ports when rtsold
decides that it is appropriate.

The FreeBSD base system continues to expand. 4GB is now insufficient;
we passed 3 GB in May 2019; we passed 2 GB in August 2017. Over half
of the disk space used is in /usr/lib/debug/.
Without this change, instances boot but are unusable, since the first
thing which breaks when VM filesystems are too small is the "pkg install"
