o  Remove a bogus comment that relates to alpha.
o  s/u_int64_t/uint64_t/g
o  Add bi_spare2 to make the internal padding explicit.
o  Move BOOTINFO_MAGIC after the field it applies to.

0c941a7611 Use one of the bi_spare entries for the DIG64 HCDP table address.
The HCDP table is one (non-proprietary) way for the platform to
inform the OS about headless operation. This field would normally
hold the address as can be found by scanning the EFI system table,
which we also pass to the kernel. The apparent duplication allows
us to synthesize a HCDP table in the loader by whatever means we
can think of, including relocating the platform table into pre-
mapped address space. In short: it gives us more freedom.

e5a267af19 Use some (now) spare space for passing through a pointer to the FPSWA
Interface provided by EFI (Floating Point SoftWare Assist).

40fe009adb Remove bootinfo.bi_kernel. It isn't used by the kernel. struct bootinfo
should go away on ia64, we should be loader metadata based since that is
the only way we can boot (loader, skiload).

7b40715e82 * Enable dynamically linked kernel. This involves adding a self-relocator
to locore to process the @fptr relocations in the dynamic executable.
* Don't initialise the timer until *after* we install the timecounter to
  avoid a race between timecounter initialisation and hardclock.
* Tidy up bootinfo somewhat including adding sanity checks for when the
  kernel is loaded without a recognisable bootinfo.

ade9f272a1 * Make a start on a realistic definition for bootinfo.
* Switch to proc0's stack and backing store before calling ia64_init
  so that we don't rely on the loader's stack at all.
* Change kernel entry point name from locorestart to __start.

263f9f6863 This is the first snapshot of the FreeBSD/ia64 kernel. This kernel will
not work on any real hardware (or fully work on any simulator). Much more
needs to happen before this is actually functional but its nice to see
the FreeBSD copyright message appear in the ia64 simulator.
