rounddown2 tends to produce longer lines than the original code
and when the code has a high indentation level it was not really
advantageous to do the replacement.
This tries to strike a balance between readability using the macros
and flexibility of having the expressions, so not everything is
converted.
This change is required so that RT3662/RT3883 PCI can function correctly

The block cache implementation in loader has proven to be almost useless, and in worst case even slowing down the disk reads due to insufficient cache size and extra memory copy.
Also the current cache implementation does not cache reads from CDs, or work with zfs built on top of multiple disks.
Instead of an LRU, this code uses a simple hash (O(1) read from cache), and instead of a single global cache, a separate cache per block device.
The cache also implements limited read-ahead to increase performance.
To simplify read ahead management, the read ahead will not wrap over bcache end, so in worst case, single block physical read will be performed to fill the last block in bcache.

This revision suggests dtsi patches to be used with the original OpenWRT
dtsi files so we can re-use what has already been done in OpenWRT for the
Mediatek/Ralink SoCs.
The only thing that is required after importing this revision should be
the following:
1. Import OpenWRT dts/dtsi files into sys/gnu/dts/mips
2. Run the following script in sys/gnu/dts/mips:
for f in `ls [mr]t*.dtsi`; do
printf "\n#include <fbsd-$f>\n" > $f
done
This will apply our dtsi patches to OpenWRT's dtsi files and will allow us
to re-use dts/dtsi files for ~170 Mediatek/Ralink boards.
Currently our drivers are not 100% compatible with OpenWRT's dts files, but
they're compatible enough.
We can add more functionality in the future that would better leverage the
OpenWRT work as well.

system. This uses the hints mechnanism. This mostly works today
because when there's no static hints (the default), this value can be
fetched from the hint. When there is a static hints file, the hint
passed from the boot loader to the kernel is ignored, but for the BIOS
case we're able to find it anyway. However, with UEFI, the fallback
doesn't work, so we get a panic instead.
Switch to acpi.rsdp and use TUNABLE_ULONG_FETCH instead. Continue to
generate the old values to allow for transitions. In addition, fall
back to the old method if the new method isn't present.
Add comments about all this.

In case the firmware falls through to executing startup.sh, populate it
with the name of our boot loader. In normal operation this should not be
necessary but may allow the system to boot if it would otherwise just
remain at a shell prompt.

alignment aborts in ubldr.bin for RPi that started happening with clang 3.8
(earlier clang apparently didn't generate strd instructions that trigger
the alignment fault). The abort happened in ubldr.bin and not ubldr (elf
version) because the elf headers are 0xf4 bytes long, and stripping them
off left everything 4-byte aligned.
While here, also stop aligning the data segment to a page boundary, align
it to 8 bytes instead (aligning to a page just needlessly makes the file
bigger); pointed out by andrew@.
Add support for 4k sector GELI encrypted partitions to the bootloader

Because the IV is different for each sector, and the XTS tweak carries forward you can not decrypt a partial sector if the starting offset is not 0

to the boot.netif.mtu env var, which will be picked up by pre-existing code
in nfs_mountroot() and used to configure the interface accordingly.
This should bring the same functionality when the bootp/dhcp work is done
by loader(8) as r297150 does for the in-kernel BOOTP case.
The following pheripherals are supported: UART, MMC, AHCI, EHCI, PCIe, I2C,
PMIC, GPIO, CPU temperature and clock.
Note: The PCIe driver is pure mash at this moment. It will be reworked
immediately when both D5237 and D2579 enter the current tree.
After ARM_INTRNG introduction, MPIC code needed several modifications:
- IRQ resource and its handler added
- several DEVMETHODs of INTRNG interface implemented
- defines enhanced to ensure code compiles as well for AXP as for A38X
- added dummy MSI_IRQ, ERR_IRQ defines for Armada38x
- MPIC driver was added to files.armada38x, ARM_INTRNG option enabled in
kernconf file and regs of MPIC corrected in dts file.
Instead of modifying Armada38X DTS, offsets to CPU registers defined in
driver were changed. That required restoring 'reg' property of mpic node
in ArmadaXP to state compliant with Linux DTS.
Additionally, required ARM_INTRNG definitions were added to mv_common.c.

Until now, ubldr has been trying to locate the U-Boot API using a hint
address (U-Boot's current stack pointer), aligning it to 1MiB and going
over a 3MiB (or 1MiB in case of MIPS) memory region searching for a
valid API signature.
This change introduces an alternative way of doing this, namely the
following:
- both U-Boot's bootelf and go commands actually pass argc and argv to
the entry point (e.g., ubldr's start function, but they should also
be passed over to main() transparently)
- so, instead of trying to go and look for a valid API signature, we
look at the parameters passed to main()
- if there's an option '-a' with argument, which is a valid hexadecimal
unsigned long number (x), we try to verify whether we have a valid
API signature at address x. If so - we use it. If not - we fallback
to the original way of locating the API signature.
The U-Boot change, which causes the API structure address to be
exported as an environment variable, was committed to mainline U-Boot
as commit 22aa61f707574dd569296f521fcfc46a05f51c48

the boot loader should not skip over these anymore while loading images.
Otherwise the kernel can still panic when it doesn't find the .eh_frame
section belonging to the .rela.eh_frame section.
Unfortunately this will require installing boot loaders from sys/boot
before attempting to boot with a new kernel.

(32 and 64-bit, LE and BE).
The changes were tested with QEMU's 'mips' target.
Most of the implementation was lifted from the ARM version, the appropriate
MIPS-specific things were implemented.
With these changes I am able to go all the way through the u-boot->ubldr->kernel
boot chain in QEMU on all combinations of bit-ness and endian-ness.
For the tests I've used FAT32 disk images (as FAT32 is supported by U-boot),
which include /boot/kernel/kernel and /boot/kernel/ubldr.bin
In U-boot I do:
fatload ide 0 <LOAD_ADDR> /boot/kernel/ubldr.bin; go <LOAD_ADDR>
where LOAD_ADDR is 80800000 for 32-bit and ffffffff80800000 for 64-bit
Then it's the usual ubldr that takes over and loads and starts a kernel.

The changes are mostly dealing with removing unnecessary casts from the U-Boot
API (we're passing only pointers, no obvious reason to cast them to uint32_t),
cleaning up some compiler warnings and using the proper printf format
specifiers in order to be able to compile cleanly for both 32-bit and 64-bit
MIPS targets.
