wrapped in an i386 ifdef with a comment questioning their usefulness even
there. It turns out they aren't referenced anywhere, but their presence
prevents using sys/endian.h in libstand code.
These days, sys/endian.h provides much better support for such things, using
compiler builtins and inline functions (and creating connections between
libstand code and header files from sys/ would not be breaking new ground).
These are no longer needed after the recent 'beforebuild: depend' changes
and hooking DIRDEPS_BUILD into a subset of FAST_DEPEND which supports
skipping 'make depend'.

Although we don't use it in tree yet libstand is installed as user-
facing /usr/liblibstand.a, and some work in progress makes use of it.
Instead of conflicting with ongoing libstand Makefile deduplication,
just add it now.
libstand is built in three places (lib/libstand, sys/boot/libstand32,
and sys/boot/userboot/libstand). Reduce Makefile duplication by
.including libstand/Makefile from sys/boot/libstand32/Makefile.
sys/boot/userboot/libstand/Makefile will be addressed later, as it
contains additional differences yet to be handled.
This change also switches libstand32 to use the new uuid_from_string
and uuid_to_string, which was not included in r292473.

variables in loader(8) and other libstand applications.
Sometimes a dhcp server provides incorrect information along with the IP
address. It would be useful to have a way to override this with
locally-supplied information, such as command line parameters passed from a
prior-stage bootloader. This change allows pre-existing env vars to take
precedence over values delivered by the dhcp or bootp server.
The bootp/dhcp code in libstand automatically creates environment variables
from the data provided by the server (dhcp.root-path, dhcp.domain-name,
etc). It also transcribes the values to some global variables such as
'rootpath' and 'hostname'.
This change does two things:
When adding dhcp.* vars to the environment, don't replace existing
vars/values.
When setting the global vars rootpath and hostname, use the
dhcp.root-path and dhcp.host-name env var values if they exist.
This allows the platform-specific part of loader(8) to obtain override
values in some platform-specific way and store them in the environment
before opening the network device. The set of values that can be overriden
is currently limited to just string options. The values that are delivered
as binary data are things that probably shouldn't be overridden (IP,
netmask, gateway, etc).

normal libc versions of these functions use asprintf and sscanf, both
of which aren't available in the libstand world. It's easier to
rewrite these than to try to claw those functions into libstand.
Also include uuid_create_nil, since it's safe to include. These were
written from scratch, except for bits of comments that I got from the
libc version, which are acknowledged in the source.

pxeboot in tftp loader mode (when built with LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT) now
prefix all the path to open with the path obtained via the option 'root-path'
directive.
This allows to be able to use the traditional content /boot out of box. Meaning
it now works pretty much like all other loaders. It simplifies hosting hosting
multiple version of FreeBSD on a tftp server.
As a consequence, pxeboot does not look anymore for a pxeboot.4th (which was
never provided)
Note: that pxeboot in tftp loader mode is not built by default.

redzone below the stack pointer for scratch space and requires
interrupt and signal frames to avoid overwriting it. However, EFI uses
the Windows ABI which does not support this. As a result, interrupt
handlers in EFI push their interrupt frames directly on top of the
stack pointer. If the compiler used the red zone in a function in the
EFI loader, then a device interrupt that occurred while that function
was running could trash its local variables. In practice this happens
fairly reliable when using gzipfs as an interrupt during decompression
can trash the local variables in the inflate_table() function
resulting in corrupted output or hangs.
Fix this by disabling the redzone for amd64 EFI binaries. This
requires building not only the loader but any libraries used by the
loader without redzone support.
Thanks to Jilles for pointing me at the redzone once I found the stack
corruption.

various IO loops to roughly reflect the relative IO sizes. That is, tftp

Also add a new twiddle_divisor() function that allows an application to set

compressed tarball, aka package. The file system assumes that the
files are layed-out in the same order as needed to allow for the
package to be streamed. As such, it does not read an entire package
into memory first.
Some properties of the file system:
o Files that start with '+' are silently skipped. These are found
in FreeBSD package files.
o Files smaller than or equal to 4KB will be cached in memory and
as such allow for some flexibility in accessing files out of
order.
o Files with the .tgz suffix are assumed to be (sub-)packages and
signal the end for a directory scan.

to counteract the default behaviour of always trying each and every
file system until one succeeds, or the open fails. The problem with the
loader is that we've implemented features based on this behavior. The
handling of compressed files is a good example of this. However, it is
in general highly undesirable to not have a one-time probe (or taste
in the geom lingo), followed by something similar to a mount whenever
we (first) read from a device. Everytime we go to the same device, we
can reasonably assume it (still) has the same file system. For file
systems that need to do far more that a trivial read of a super block,
not having something similar to a mount operation is disastrous from
a performance (and thus usability) perspective.
But, again, since we've implemented features based on this stateless
approach, things can get complicated quickly if and when we want to
change this. And yet, we sometimes do need stateful behaviour.
For this reason, this change simply introduces exclusive_file_system.
When set to the fsops of the file system to use, the open call will
only try this file system. Setting it to NULL restores the default
behaviour. It's a low-cost (low-brow?) approach to provide enough
control without re-implementing the guts of the loader.
A good example of when this is useful is when we're trying to load
files out of a container (say, a software packaga) that itself lives
on a file system or is fetched over the network. While opening the
container can be done in the normal stateless manner, once it is
opened, subsequent opens should only consider the container.
