Also, leave the hw.uart.console hint mutable so it can be overridden or
unset by the user if needed.

gcc handles -symbolic by passing -Bsymbolic through to ld. clang ignores
-symbolic and thus invokes ld without -Bsymbolic which leads to some symbols
not being properly linked in loader.efi. Fix this by using -Wl,-Bsymbolic which
passes -Bsymbolic to ld in both the gcc and clang cases.

The sole purpose of this change is to make sure that sizeof produces
"canonical" sizes for these structures. This is to avoid triggering
bugs in the BIOSes that properly handle only the canonical values of
input length provided to INT 13h AH=48h.
The canonical sizes are: 30 for v2, 66 for v3, etc.
Buggy BIOS code probably looks like:
if (input_length > 30) { /* > v2 */
assume that input length is 66 /* assume v3 or later */
}
This should fix boot problems at least on Supermicro X8DT6 and possibly
on P410i Smart Array Controller (as found in e.g. HP DL360 G7).

.. so that consistent compilation algorithms are used for both
architectures as in practice the binaries are expected to be

Previously i386 used default setting which were equivalent to
-march=i486 -mtune=generic.
The only difference is using smaller but slower "leave" instructions.

The first discovered pool, whether it covers the whole boot disk or not,
is going to be first in zfs_pools list. So there is no need at all
for spapp parameter.
This commit also fixes a bug where NULL would be assigned to NULL
pointer when probe_drive was called with the spapp parameter of NULL.

disk_open(). Very often this is called several times for one file.
This leads to reading partition table metadata for each call. To
reduce the number of disk I/O we have a simple block cache, but it
is very dumb and more than half of I/O operations related to reading
metadata, misses this cache.
Introduce new cache layer to resolve this problem. It is independent
and doesn't need initialization like bcache, and will work by default
for all loaders which use the new DISK API. A successful disk_open()
call to each new disk or partition produces new entry in the cache.
Even more, when disk was already open, now opening of any nested
partitions does not require reading top level partition table.
So, if without this cache, partition table metadata was read around
20-50 times during boot, now it reads only once. This affects the booting
from GPT and MBR from the UFS.
Use of __builtin_constant_p in a function that is only called via
a pointer is a good example of how out-of-date it was.

libstand(3) tries to detect file system in the predefined order,
but zfsloader usually is used for the booting from ZFS, and there is
no need to try detect several file system types for each open() call.
in sys/boot/i386/libi386/biosdisk.c. Otherwise, when DISK_DEBUG is
enabled, the DEBUG() macros will clobber those fields, and cause the
probing to always fail mysteriously when debugging is enabled.
The NAND Flash environment consists of several distinct components:
- NAND framework (drivers harness for NAND controllers and NAND chips)
- NAND simulator (NANDsim)
- NAND file system (NAND FS)
- Companion tools and utilities
- Documentation (manual pages)
This work is still experimental. Please use with caution.

In zfs loader zfs device name format now is "zfs:pool/fs",
fully qualified file path is "zfs:pool/fs:/path/to/file"
loader allows accessing files from various pools and filesystems as well
as changing currdev to a different pool/filesystem.
zfsboot accepts kernel/loader name in a format pool:fs:path/to/file or,
as before, pool:path/to/file; in the latter case a default filesystem
is used (pool root or bootfs). zfsboot passes guids of the selected
pool and dataset to zfsloader to be used as its defaults.
zfs support should be architecture independent and is provided
in a separate library, but architectures wishing to use this zfs support
still have to provide some glue code and their devdesc should be
compatible with zfs_devdesc.
arch_zfs_probe method is used to discover all disk devices that may
be part of ZFS pool(s).
libi386 unconditionally includes zfs support, but some zfs-specific
functions are stubbed out as weak symbols. The strong definitions
are provided in libzfsboot.
This change mean that the size of i386_devspec becomes larger
to match zfs_devspec.
Backward-compatibility shims are provided for recently added sparc64
zfs boot support. Currently that architecture still works the old
way and does not support the new features.
TODO:
- clear up pool root filesystem vs pool bootfs filesystem distinction
- update sparc64 support
- set vfs.root.mountfrom based on currdev (for zfs)
Mid-future TODO:
- loader sub-menu for selecting alternative boot environment
Distant future TODO:
- support accessing snapshots, using a snapshot as readonly root

code that is used to construct a loader (e.g. libstand, ficl, etc).
There is such a thing as a 64-bit EFI application, but it's not
as standard as 32-bit is. Let's make the 32-bit functional (as in
we can load and actualy boot a kernel) before solving the 64-bit
loader problem.
Before r228267 the option was honored but the original content of
boot.config was not preserved. I tried to fix that but missed the idea.
Now the proper way of doing things is taken from i386/boo2.
Also, a comment is added to explain this a little bit unobvious
behavior.

it's value is change to be an empty string after the initial call to
parse, and cmd[]'s value can be changed (thus losing a prior setting for
kname) due to user input at the boot prompt. While here, ensure that that
initial boot config file text is nul-terminated, that ops is initialized
to zero, and that kname is always initialized to a valid string.

individual Makefiles.
Instead, use the following extra macros, for use with clang:
- NO_WERROR.clang (disables -Werror)
- NO_WCAST_ALIGN.clang (disables -Wcast-align)
- NO_WFORMAT.clang (disables -Wformat and friends)
- CLANG_NO_IAS (disables integrated assembler)
- CLANG_OPT_SMALL (adds flags for extra small size optimizations)
As a side effect, this enables setting CC/CXX/CPP in src.conf instead of
make.conf! For clang, use the following:
CC=clang
CXX=clang++
