This gets us the info we need on systems which have proprietary tables that
don't match the standard. For instance, an AMI system has a table of type
"OEMB" with an invalid checksum.

of the property that one can concatenate the body of SSDT tables to
the DSDT, updating the DSDT header (length and checksum) and end up
with a larger and valid DSDT table. Hence, this also works with -f.

another process already has /dev/snp0 open, the snp(4) will return
EBUSY, in which case watch will try to open /dev/snp1..9. Currently
watch does not check errno to see if the failure was a result of EBUSY.
This results in watch making futile attempts to open snp0..snp9 even
though devices may not exist or the caller does not have permissions
to access the device.
In addition to this, it attempts to setup the screen for snooping even
though it may not ever get an snp device.
So this patch does two things
1) Checks errno for EBUSY, if open(2) fails for another reason
print that reason and exit.
2) setup the terminal for snooping after the snp descriptor has
been obtained.

install of Postfix fails since Postfix 1 is picked from INDEX instead
of Postfix 2.
The problem is that the package_add function matches multiple Postfix
packages and then installs a "random" version (the last one found in
INDEX). This does not occur with a CD-ROM install since there is only
one Postfix package on the CD-ROM.
The correct solution to this would be to check the origin field from
INDEX instead of the package name, but due to the way sysinstall is
made that is not trivial, so instead work around the problem by
hard-coding the Postfix major and minor revision (for the current
stable version) to install directly into the package_add call.

or 'env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=... make' depending on the setting of
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX in the environment. In any case this line kills the
original value of ${MAKE}. When during buildworld a new make is built (as
is the case during the upgrade) this causes a wrong make to be picked up
(the first one in the path). Use the same technique as Makefile.inc1:
create a MAKEENV variable and a CRUNCHMAKE that calls ${MAKE} with that
MAKEENV prefixed. Use CRUNCHMAKE instead of MAKE throughout the generated
makefile. This leaves the original ${MAKE} undisturbed.

o Remove the code that creates the boot directory on the EFI file
system after it has been mounted, as well as remove the code
that creates the symlink from /boot -> /efi/boot (*). As a result,
/boot will be extracted onto the root file system.
o Add a function efi_mountpoint() that returns the mount point of
the EFI file system or NULL if no EFI partition is created. This
function is used to both check whether there's an EFI file system
and to return what its mount point is.
o When there's no EFI file system, ask the user if this is what he
or she wants. Since we extract /boot onto the root file system,
we do not actually need an EFI file system for the installation to
work. Whether one wants to install without an EFI partition is
of course an entirely different question. We allow it...
o When we're done installing and need to fix up the various bits
and pieces, check if there's an EFI partition and if yes, move
/boot to /efi/boot and create a symlink /boot -> /efi/boot (*).
This is a much more reliable way to get /boot onto the EFI
partition than creating the symlink up front and hope its being
respected. It so happened that we never had the boot directory
end up on the EFI partition. We make the symlink relative.
(*) /efi is a place holder for the actual EFI mount point of course.

we'll actually create an EFI partition with a FAT file system instead
of an UFS file system. It also allows us to give a sensible default
mount point for EFI partitions so that people don't have to guess.
This also means that we can now remove new_efi_part(), which did the
same thing as new_part(), except it created a FAT file system. The
function wasn't called when the EFI partition was created from scratch
though, which was the problem. By passing the partition type to the
various functions, we can deal with EFI without having to duplicate
code.

some debug support turned on. It turns out the sections in this driver
binary had relative virtual addresses (RVAs) that were different
from the raw addresses, and it had a .data section where the virtual size
was much larger than the raw size. (Most production binaries produced
with the Microsoft DDK have RVA == PA.)
There's code in the ndiscvt(8) utility that's supposed to handle
the vsize != rsize case, but it turns out it was slightly broken,
and it failed to handle the RVA != RA case at all. Hopefully, this
commit will fix all that.
