Embedded lzma decompression library becomes a module usable by other
consumers, in addition to geom_uzip.
Most important code changes are
- removal of XZ_DEC_SINGLE define, we need the code to work
with XZ_DEC_DYNALLOC;
- xz_crc32_init() call is removed from geom_uzip, xz module handles
initialization on its own.
xz is no longer embedded into geom_uzip, instead the depend line for
the module is provided, and corresponding kernel option is added to
each MIPS kernel config file using geom_uzip.
The commit also carries unrelated cleanup by removing excess "device geom_uzip"
in places which were missed in r344479.

iflib is already a module, but it is unconditionally compiled into the
kernel. There are drivers which do not need iflib(4), and there are
situations where somebody might not want iflib in kernel because of
using the corresponding driver as module.

This is an older broadcom part that implements the mips32 ISA. 32-bit
FreeBSD/mips now requires mips32r2, so retire this config. Most of the
broadcom port is shared with newer ports, so what little code may be
unique to this part has not been GC'd at this time.

It looks like the intent was to allow ZSTD support to be
compiled into the kernel with options ZSTDIO. But it doesn't look
like that was ever implemented or I'm missing how to do it.
I did a cursory audit of kernel config files and made a decision to
enable ZSTDIO in riscv GENERIC and mips MALTA configurations. All other
kernel configurations already had this option in their kernel configs
but they didn't do anything useful as the feature was declared as
"standard" prior to this.

is now unobtanium. It's only had API changes in the last 7 years, and
is responsible for a very large number of them. In addition, there's a
lot of code that reimplements base FreeBSD functionality, diminishing
the chances it still works. Without hardware to teset it on, or
prospects of obtaining such hardware and without vendor support, it's
time to move on.

it's at least 5 years out of production. I couldn't find a used one on
ebay and other secondary markets just now, nor when I tried 4 years
ago. It dates from the initial project/mips2 merge 8 years ago, and
hasn't been updated since.
Discussed on: mips@ (with some dissent)
It came into the tree with the project/mips merge 8 years ago. At the
time, it was hard to find a board with enough RAM to run. Now FreeBSD
requires at least 2x the RAM it did then. No changes have happened to
this port apart from API churn and license tagging since then. It ran
OK at the time it was committed, but no sightings in the wild have
happened since shortly after it was committed.
https://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Adm5120_devices lists a bunch of
boards that were available 5 years ago (but are no longer
available). The beefiest one had only 64MB of RAM which is too
small. The Mirktik RB1xx never had more than 32MB.
Also remove confusing QEMU config file that never ever worked in QEMU
for mips. MALTA is used for that. Another of my past mistakes, false
starts that never amounted to anything.

never got better. It never worked on real hardware and is still mostly
stubs after 8 years when I added it. It has had no real update in that
time apart from API churn. It was added just so it didn't get lost in
the project/mips merge, but maybe it should have been lost as nothing
has come of it. It is time to give up the ghost on this one.

This compilation issue has been found thanks to freebsd-wifi-build:
- gpioiic requires "gpio_if.h", so "device gpio" is mandatory
- rtl8366rb works over MDIO interface, so "device mdio" is mandatory
Compilation is checked on FreeBSD 12-CURRENT machine.
The driver is functional on both BHND Wi-Fi adapters and MIPS SoCs, but
does not currently include support for features not required by bwn(4),
including GPIO interrupt handling.

HEAD. Enable VIMAGE in GENERIC kernels and some others (where GENERIC does
not exist) on HEAD.
Disable building LINT-VIMAGE with VIMAGE being default.
This should give it a lot more exposure in the run-up to 12 to help
us evaluate whether to keep it on by default or not.
We are also hoping to get better performance testing.
The feature can be disabled using nooptions.
