and constants related to the BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive Specification.
- Use this header instead of magic numbers and various duplicate structure
definitions for doing I/O.
- Use an actual structure for the request to fetch drive parameters in
drvsize() rather than a gross hack of a char array with some magic
size. While here, change drvsize() to only pass the 1.1 version of
the structure and not request device path information. If we want
device path information you have to set the length of the device
path information as an input (along with probably checking the actual
EDD version to see which size one should use as the device path
information is variable-length). This fixes data smashing problems
from passing an EDD 3 structure to BIOSes supporting EDD 4.

gpt and zfs boot blocks are not nearly as size-constrained as boot2
from which they inherited their current optimization and anti-optimization
options. As such the current options do not provide any benefit, but
make debugging of the code much harder.
Also, it has been demonstrated that combination of -mrtd and
-fno-unit-at-a-time may result in mis-compilation of the boot code
with the current base gcc.
Additionally, intermediate assembly file filtering is removed for
zfsboot.
The new boot blocks are all compile- and boot- tested using qemu.
gptzfsboot is tested with real hardware.

CFLAGS having '-g' in it, clang outputs several assembly directives that
are too new for our version of binutils.
Therefore, assemble the resulting .s files with clang instead. A more
general solution can be implemented when a GNU as-compatible driver for
clang's integrated assembler appears.

floppies, so it will not be used as the start of an emulated floppy
image on a bootable CD which is what the fake BPB was used for.
- Only check that EDD packet mode is available once at the start of
zfsldr rather than for each disk sector now that we read data in one
sector at a time. As a result, collapse the remaining bits of read
up into nread and rename nread to read.
- Restore a return at the end of putstr that I removed in the previous
revision.

unhappy (probably they don't handle crossing the 64k boundary, etc.).
Fix this by changing zfsldr to use a loop reading from the disk one
sector at a time. To avoid trashing the saved copy of the MBR which is
used for disk I/O, read zfsboot2 at address 0x9000. This has the
advantage that BTX no longer needs to be relocated as it is read into
the correct location. However, the loop to relocate zfsboot2.bin can
now cross a 64k boundary, so change it to use relative segments instead.
(This will need further work if zfsboot2.bin ever exceeds 64k.)
While here, stop storing a relocated copy of zfsldr at 0x700. This was
only used by the xread hack which has recently been removed (and even
that use was dubious). Also, include the BIOS error code as hex when
reporting read errors to aid in debugging.
Much thanks to Henri Hennebert for patiently testing various iterations
of the patch as well as fixing the zfsboot2.bin relocation to use
relative segments.

boot2 calls back into boot1 to perform disk reads. The ZFS MBR boot blocks
do not have the same space constraints, so remove this hack for ZFS.
While here, remove commented out code to support C/H/S addressing from

This modifies CFLAGS and tweaks sio.S to use the new calling convention.
The sio_init() and sio_putc() prototypes are modified so that other

on space for clang and a.out support is only needed for /boot/loader,
they are excess bytes that serve no useful purpose other than to
support really old kernels (FreeBSD < 3.2 or so). Prefer clang
support over support for these old kernels and remove this code. We
gain about 100 bytes of space this way.

- Teach gptboot and gptzfsboot about new files. I haven't touched the
rest, but there is still a lot of code duplication to be removed.
- Implement full GPT support. Currently we just read primary header and
partition table and don't care about checksums, etc. After this change we
verify checksums of primary header and primary partition table and if
there is a problem we fall back to backup header and backup partition
table.
- Clean up most messages to use prefix of boot program, so in case of an
error we know where the error comes from, eg.:
gptboot: unable to read primary GPT header
- If we can't boot, print boot prompt only once and not every five
seconds.
- Honour newly added GPT attributes:
bootme - this is bootable partition
bootonce - try to boot from this partition only once
bootfailed - we failed to boot from this partition
- Change boot order of gptboot to the following:
1. Try to boot from all the partitions that have both 'bootme'
and 'bootonce' attributes one by one.
2. Try to boot from all the partitions that have only 'bootme'
attribute one by one.
3. If there are no partitions with 'bootme' attribute, boot from
the first UFS partition.
- The 'bootonce' functionality is implemented in the following way:
1. Walk through all the partitions and when 'bootonce'
attribute is found without 'bootme' attribute, remove
'bootonce' attribute and set 'bootfailed' attribute.
'bootonce' attribute alone means that we tried to boot from
this partition, but boot failed after leaving gptboot and
machine was restarted.
2. Find partition with both 'bootme' and 'bootonce' attributes.
3. Remove 'bootme' attribute.
4. Try to execute /boot/loader or /boot/kernel/kernel from that
partition. If succeeded we stop here.
5. If execution failed, remove 'bootonce' and set 'bootfailed'.
6. Go to 2.
If whole boot succeeded there is new /etc/rc.d/gptboot script coming
that will log all partitions that we failed to boot from (the ones with
'bootfailed' attribute) and will remove this attribute. It will also
find partition with 'bootonce' attribute - this is the partition we
booted from successfully. The script will log success and remove the
attribute.
All the GPT updates we do here goes to both primary and backup GPT if
they are valid. We don't touch headers or partition tables when
checksum doesn't match.

it possible to boot from ZFS RAIDZ for example from within VirtualBox.
The problem with VirtualBox is that its BIOS reports only one disk present.
If we choose to ignore this report, we can find all the disks available.
We can't have this work-around to be turned on by default, because some broken
BIOSes report true when it comes to number of disks, but present the same disk
multiple times.
