Bootloaders for powerpc are not built as position independent
code. Since bsd.prog.mk is used for building, when PIE is enabled,
the PIE flags are added and that causes the build to fail.
Adding MK_PIE=no stops bsd.prog.mk from adding PIE specific flags.

Currently, the only thing that prevents a functioning 64-bit FICL build is
a few integer types that were intended to be fixed-width.
Changing them to C99 integer types allows building a functioning 64-bit
FICL.
While this isn't applicable to the default settings of any in-tree loaders,
it is necessary for a future Petitboot loader, due to the requirement that
it be compiled as a 64-bit program.

Although PPC OFW loader already had a LOADER_MSDOS_SUPPORT option, a few lines
were missing in conf.c, in order to support FAT filesystems.
This is useful when running FreeBSD under QEMU, to be able to easily change the
kernel and modules when running on hosts without UFS read/write support.

OpenFirmware (OF) method instantiate-rtas was being called with a wrong
rtas-base-address argument. It must use the memory that is already being
allocated to this end instead. This issue was causing QEMU netboot to hang
when building the FDT from OF DT.

Before this change, LLD10 was creating several extra PT_LOAD sections,
which OFW does not understand.
Like we do for the kernel already, specify the program headers manually.
Additionally, to work around a crash in our base ld.bfd, we need to
actually assign something to the output section. LLD does not need this.
One side effect of this change is the removal of the GNU_STACK header.
This is more correct, since we are using a statically-allocated stack and
RWX mappings across the board this early in boot.

Guest PPC OSs running under a hypervisor may communicate the features they
support, in order for the hypervisor to expose a virtualized machine in the way
the client (guest OS) expects (see LoPAPR 1.1 - B.6.2.3).
This is done by calling the "/ibm,client-architecture-support" (CAS) method,
informing supported features in option vectors. Until now, FreeBSD wasn't
using CAS, but instead relied on hypervisor/QEMU's defaults.
The problem is that, without CAS, it is very inconvenient to run POWER9 VMs on
a POWER9 host running with radix enabled. This happens because, in this case,
the QEMU default is to present the guest OS a dual MMU (HPT/RPT), instead of
presenting a regular HPT MMU, as FreeBSD expects, resulting in an early panic.
The known workarounds required either changing the host to disable radix or
passing a flag to QEMU to run in a POWER8 compatible mode.
With CAS, FreeBSD is now able to communicate that it wants an HPT MMU,
independent of the host setup, which now makes FreeBSD work on POWER9/pseries,
with KVM enabled and without hugepages (support added in a previous commit).
As CAS is invoked through OpenFirmware's call-method interface, it needs to be
performed early, when OpenFirmware is still operational. Besides, now that FDT
is the default way to inspect the device tree on PPC, OFW call-method feature
will be unavailable by default, when control is passed to the kernel. Because
of this, the call to CAS is being performed at the loader, instead of at the
kernel.
To avoid regressions with old platforms, this change uses CAS only on
POWER8/POWER9.

It was pointed out that manually loading a .dtb to be used rather than
relying on platform-specific method for loading .dtb will result in overlays
not being applied. This was true because overlay loading was hacked into
fdt_platform_load_dtb, rather than done in a way more independent from how
the .dtb is loaded.
Instead, push overlay loading (for now) out into an
fdt_platform_load_overlays. This method easily allows ubldr to pull in any
fdt_overlays specified in the ub env, and omits overlay-checking on
platforms where they're not tested and/or not desired (e.g. powerpc). If we
eventually stop caring about fdt_overlays from ubenv (if we ever cared),
this method should get chopped out in favor of just calling
fdt_load_dtb_overlays() directly.

PowerPC Apple hardware, and likely all Open Firmware systems.
The loader would allocate memory for its heap at whatever address Open
Firmware gave it, which would in general be the lowest unallocated address,
usually starting a page or two above 0. As the kernel is linked at 1 MB,
and loader insists on running the kernel at its link address, any heap
larger than 1 MB would overlap the kernel, causing loader memory allocations
to corrupt the kernel and vice versa.
Although r328806 made this problem much worse by increasing the heap size
to 8 MB, causing 88% of the loader heap to overlap with the kernel, the
problem has always existed. The old heap size was 1 MB and, unless that
started exactly at zero, which would cause other problems, some number of
pages of the loader heap still overlapped with the kernel.
This patch solves the issue in two ways and cleans up some related code:
- Moves the loader heap inside of the loader. This guarantees that the
heap will be contiguous with the loader and simplifies the heap
allocation code at no cost, since the heap lives in BSS.
- Moves the loader, previously at 28 MB and dangerously close to the kernel
it loads, a bit higher to 44 MB. This has the effect of breaking loader
on non-embedded PPC machines with < 48 MB of RAM, but we did not support
those anyway.
The fundamental problem is that the way loader loads ELF files is
incredibly fragile, but that can't be fixed without fundamental
architectural changes.

MK_CTF, MK_SSP, MK_PROFILE, NO_PIC, and INTERNALLIB are always the

This removes a lot of boring repetition from the Makefiles that added
almost no value.
HELP_FILES is a loader only thing, so move it to loader.mk. Only
generate the help file if HELP_FILES is defined. Adjust Makefiles to
new convention. Fix a few cases where ${.CURDIR}/ was missing
