i386 and the rest of supported architectures by defining KERNLOAD in the
vmparam.h and getting rid of magic constant in the linker script, which albeit
documented via comment but isn't programmatically accessible at a compile time.
Use KERNLOAD to eliminate another (matching) magic constant 100 lines down
inside unremarkable TU "copy.c" 3 levels deep in the EFI loader tree.

This implementation doesn't have any major deviations from the other EFI
ports. I've copied the boilerplate from arm and arm64.
I've tested this with the following boot flows:
OpenSBI (M-mode) -> u-boot (S-mode) -> loader.efi -> FreeBSD
OpenSBI (M-mode) -> u-boot (S-mode) -> boot1.efi -> loader.efi -> FreeBSD
Due to the way that u-boot handles secondary CPUs, OpenSBI >= v0.7 is required,
as the HSM extension is needed to bring them up explicitly. Because of this,
using BBL as the SBI implementation will not be possible. Additionally, there
are a few recent u-boot changes that are required as well, all of which will be
present in the upcoming v2020.07 release.

The vectx API, computes the hash for verifying a file as it is read.
This avoids the overhead of reading files twice - once to verify, then
again to load.
For doing an install via loader, avoiding the need to rewind
large files is critical.
This API is only used for modules, kernel and mdimage as these are the
biggest files read by the loader.
The reduction in boot time depends on how expensive the I/O is
on any given platform. On a fast VM we see 6% improvement.
For install via loader the first file to be verified is likely to be the
kernel, so some of the prep work (finding manifest etc) done by
verify_file() needs to be factored so it can be reused for
vectx_open().
For missing or unrecognized fingerprint entries, we fail
in vectx_open() unless verifying is disabled.
Otherwise fingerprint check happens in vectx_close() and
since this API is only used for files which must be verified
(VE_MUST) we panic if we get an incorrect hash.

With a very large kernel or module the staging area may be too small to
hold it. When this is the case try to allocate more space before failing
in the efi copyin/copyout/readin functions.

Reduce the size of the EFI_STAGING area we allocate on arm to 32. On arm SBC
such as the NanoPi-NEOLTS the staging area allocation will fail on the 256MB
model with a staging size of 64.

To avoid failures when the large 18MB nvidia.ko module is being loaded,
increase EFI_STAGING_SIZE from 64MB to 100MB on x64 systems.
Leave the other platforms at 64MB.
The call to BS->AllocatePages can cause the memory map to become framented,
causing BS->GetMemoryMap to return EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL more than once. For
example this can happen on the MinnowBoard Turbot, causing the boot to stop
with an error. Avoid this by calling GetMemoryMap in a loop.

Compiling FreeBSD/i386 with modern GCC triggers warnings for various
places that convert 64-bit EFI_ADDRs to pointers and vice versa.
- Cast pointers to uintptr_t rather than to uint64_t when assigning
to a 64-bit integer.
- Cast 64-bit integers to uintptr_t before a cast to a pointer.
