When booting via EFI on arm we have no way to know the dtb file to load
and we always use the one provided from the bootloader.
This works in most case but :
U-Boot have some really old DTB for some boards, the sync from Linux isn't done automatically for all boards
Some boards (like TI BeagleBone series) use one u-boot for all the model and it doesn't embed the DTBs
Some boards (like IMX6 based ones), don't embed the DTB
We want u-boot to load and patch the DTB with the mac address or the display
node enabled or not.

Since we have now EFI framebuffer enabled for ARM64 if we boot on a board
with an screen, u-boot will set up a EFI GOP framebuffer and we won't boot
using the serial console.
Also on RPI3 the firmware always setup the framebuffer area resulting in u-boot
always setup the EFI GOP and FreeBSD never using the serial console.

switch the default kldxref_enable to YES.
The reason is that it's required for every image that's being cross-built,
as kldxref(8) cannot handle files for non-native architectures. For the
one that is not - amd64 - having it on by default doesn't change anything;
the script is noop if the linker.hints already exists.

the /boot/kernel/linker.hints file, which breaks loading some of the modules
with dependencies, eg cfiscsi.ko.
This is a minimal fix for ARM images, in order to safely MFC it before
11.2-RELEASE. Afterwards, however, I believe we should actually just change
the default (as in, etc/defaults/rc.conf). The reason is that it's required
for every image that's being cross-built, as kldxref(1) cannot handle files
for non-native architectures. For the one that is not - amd64 - having it
on by default doesn't change anything - the script is noop if the linker.hints
already exists.
The long-term solution would be to rewrite kldxref(1) to handle other
architectures, and generate linker.hints at build time.

not existing, as well as geom_label not being loaded at boot.
For now, add the geom_label_load entry to loader.conf, and
symlink loader.rc.sample to loader.rc, both of which allowed
my BeagleBone Black to boot fine with a UFS label reference in
fstab(5).

written to disk with newfs(8) and newfs_msdosfs(8).
When iterating through snapshot builds in serial, it is possible for
a build failure to leave stale md(4) devices behind, in some cases, they
could have a UFS or MSDOS filesystem label assigned.
If the md(4) is not destroyed (or not able to be destroyed, as has
happened recently due to my own fault), the filesystem label that
already exists can interfere with a new md(4) device that is targeted to
have the same label.
This behavior, although admittedly a logic error in the wrapper build
scripts, has caused intermittent reports (in particular with the armv6
builds) of missing UFS/MSDOSFS labels, causing the image to fallback to
the mountroot prompt. This appears to only happen when the backing
md(4) device is destroyed before the calling umount(8) on the target
mount, after which the UFS/MSDOSFS label persists.
The workaround is this: If EVERYTHINGISFINE is set to non-empty value,
check for an existing ufs/rootfs and msdosfs/MSDOSBOOT filesystem label
in arm_create_disk(), and rm(1) them if they exist.
The EVERYTHINGISFINE variable is chosen because it is used in exactly
one other place - release/Makefile.mirrors - and there are big scary
warnings at the top of that file as well that it should *not* be used
under normal circumstances. This should not destroy a build machine
that also uses '/dev/ufs/rootfs' as the UFS label, and I have verified
in extensive local testing that the destroyed label is recreated when
the md(4) is unmounted/mounted, but this really should not be enabled
by anyone.
Having said all that, I absolutely *do* plan MFC this to stable/10 for
the 10.2-RELEASE cycle, as so far, I have only observed this behavior
on stable/10, but this is a temporary solution until I can unravel all
of the failure paths to properly trap them.

- This commit adds native FreeBSD/arm release build support without
requiring out-of-tree utilities.
- Part of this merge removes the WANDBOARD-{SOLO,DUAL,QUAD} kernel
configuration files, for which the IMX6 kernel configuration file
should be used instead.
- The resulting images have a 'freebsd' user (password 'freebsd'),
to allow ssh(1) access when console access is not available (VGA
or serial). The default 'root' user password is set to 'root'.
- The /etc/ttys file for arm images now enable both ttyv0 and ttyu0
