Move the remaining bits of <sys/diskslice.h> to <i386/include/bootinfo.h>
Move i386/pc98 specific bits from <sys/reboot.h> to
<i386/include/bootinfo.h> as well.
Adjust includes in sys/boot accordingly.
queue items that can be allocated by netgraph and the number of free queue
items that are cached on a private list.
Netgraph places an upper limit on the number of queue items it may allocate.
When there is a large number of netgraph messages travelling through the
system (100k/sec and more) there is a high probability, that messages get
queued at the nodes and netgraph runs out of queue items. In this case the data
flow through netgraph gets blocked. The tuneable for the number of free
items lets one trade memory for performance.
The tunables are also available as read-only sysctls.

and instead add platform, firmware and EFI stubs to the loader.
The net effect of this change is that besides a special console and
disk driver, the kernel has no knowledge of the simulator. This has
the following advantages:
o Simulator support is much harder to break,
o It's easier to make use of more feature complete simulators.
This would only need a change in the simulator specific loader,
o Running SMP kernels within the simulator. Note that ski at this
time does not simulate IPIs, so there's no way to start APs.
The platform, firmware and EFI stubs describe the following hardware:
o 4 CPU Itanium,
o 128 MB RAM within the 4GB address space,
o 64 MB RAM above the 4GB address space.
NOTE: The stubs in the skiloader describe a machine that should in
parts be defined by the simulator. Things like processor interrupt
block and AP wakeup vector cannot be choosen at random because they
require interpretation by the simulator. Currently the simulator is
ignorant of this.
This change introduces an unofficial SSC call SSC_SAL_SET_VECTORS
which is ignored by the simulator.
Tested with: ski (version 0.943 for linux)
o Revision 1.38 introduced the -n flag. It conflicted with the
RB_BOOTINFO flag, so was in effect always on. Change the -n flag to
be bit 0x1c instead of 0x1f. This also had the consequence that a mal-formed
/boot.config would render the system unbootable because the user was
unable to enter anything at all on the command line.
o Remove the initialization of opt to be RB_BOOTINFO since we filter that bit
out and do not otherwise use it.

It is not complete (the LILO root= specification isn't passed to our
loader for instance), it has not been touched in over 2 years. Linux has
moved on to GRUB, so this is OBE now. If someone creeps up to work on it,
it could become a port.

subset of Peter's patchs that are believed to be safe.
Makefile tweaks:
o -fomit-frame-pointer
o Change default to building both UFS1 and UFS2 bootblocks.
Lots of boot2 tweaks:
o lookup is only ever called with kname, so use it directly.
o inline memsize
o getstr are only ever called with cmd, so hardware that.
o tweaks to the parsing code to test after the conversion rather than
before since we tested after anyways.
o eliminate support for %x in printf.
o eliminate a few bytes in printfs.
o Tweak the boot banner.
o eliminate support for wd and " " devices (I might add wd back to
keep bde happy).
o eliminate support for a few arguments.
This takes us from -162 bytes free to 67 bytes free.
I've tested this only on a few systems, so be careful when updating to
this change.

it possible to make UFS1_ONLY and UFS2_ONLY versions which fit inside the
traditional 16 sectors.
Remove assorted now unneeded hackery.
UFS1_AND_UFS2 still needs another 150 bytes to work, and that is probably
not within our reach, ever.
