hrs@ and kuriyama@ have found that on some HP BIOS, a system will fail to
boot immediately after installation with the claim that it can't work out
which disk they are booting from.
They tracked it down to a buffer overrun, and found that it could be
alleviated by doing a dummy read before-hand.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by
little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a
great soul has simply nothing to do. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
The current system is fragile and requires very careful layout of all
*_devdesc structures. It also makes it hard to change the base
devdesc. Take a page from CAM and put the 'header' in all the derived
classes and adjust the code to match.
For OFW, move the iHandle h_handle out of a slot conflicting with
d_opendata. Due to quirks in the alignment rules, this worked.
However changing the code to use d_opendata storage now that it's a
pointer is hard, so just have a separate field for it.
All other cleanups were to make the *_devdesc structures match where
they'd taken some liberties that were none-the-less compatible enough
to work.
Make sure { on the same line as struct for all struct *devdesc. Move
some type definitions to next to the dv_type define, since that's what
sets the d_type.
I had thought that this would be useful. However it was committed too
late, and wound up being unused. It's in the way of future work now,
so retire it rather than bring it forward.
MK_CTF, MK_SSP, MK_PROFILE, NO_PIC, and INTERNALLIB are always the
same, so set them in defs.mk. MAN= is common, so set it here too.
This removes a lot of boring repetition from the Makefiles that added
almost no value.
Default WARNS to 0 still, since there's still some warnings on other
architectures.

HAVE_GPT isn't currently a thing, but HAVE_GELI is. Replace the former
with the latter and remove util.o from the build list (it's picked up
from libsa/libsa32, and that's OK).
