545428e18d The kernel DTrace audit provider (dtaudit) relies on auditd(8) to load
/etc/security/audit_event to provide a list of audit event-number <->
name mappings.  However, this occurs too late for anonymous tracing.
With this change, adding 'audit_event_load="YES"' to /boot/loader.conf
will cause the boot loader to preload the file, and then the kernel
audit code will parse it to register an initial set of audit event-number
<-> name mappings.  Those mappings can later be updated by auditd(8) if
the configuration file changes.

9c579660b9 Default loader.conf: Drop efi_max_resolution to 1x1
Effectively disabling the mode changing bits in the loader. No matter which
way we go with it, it seems to be wrong- either the firmware doesn't change
the resolution and reports the resolution we requested, or the firmware
changes the resolution and doesn't report the resolution we requested. It
some cases, it does the right thing, but the bad cases outweight those.

Interested individuals can still set efi_max_resolution to 1080p or whatnot
in loader.conf(5) to restore the new behavior, but the new behavior does not
work out well for many cases.

c3f6753615 efi loader: Respect efi_max_resolution in loader.conf(5)
Default the max resolution to 1080p, we'll accept Width x Height
specifications along with the following presets:

- 480p
- 720p
- 1080p
- 2160p or 4k
- 5k

a146475859 Move /boot/overlays to /boot/dtb/overlays
The former is fairly vague; these are FDT overlays to be applied to the
running system, so /boot/dtb is a sensible location to put it without
cluttering up /boot/dtb even further if desired.

4f6bfa26ba loader.conf: remove obsolete non-x86 beastie menu statement
As of r330005 the same loader.conf defaults are used on all platforms.

3aafbd9055 loader.conf(5): Document some other settings
These tend to have less coverage in other places and they don't have
defaults as of yet, so mention them here:
- fdt_overlays
- kernels_autodetect (lualoader only)

584cb1a9ab These two directories build man pages, so it's incorrect to tag them
NO_OBJ. Also, make sure the loader.conf.5 man gets built and installed.

cf747b57ef Take a meat cleaver to defaults/loader.conf
Remove almost all of the _load=XXX options (kept only those relevant
to splash screens, since there were other settings).
Remove the excessively cutesy comment blocks.
Remove excessive comments and replace with similar content
Remove gratuitous blank lines (while leaving some)

We have too many modules to list them all here. There's no purpose in
doing so and it's a giant hassle to maintain. In addition the extra
~500 lines slow this down on small platforms. It slowed it down
so much small platforms forked, which caused other issues...
This is a compromise between those two extremes.

f54f0690ba Go back to one loader.conf
We really only need one loader.conf. The other loader.conf was created
because the current one took forever to parse in FORTH. That will be
fixed in the next commit.
