- Mark getc() as inline, this has no effect on gcc but helps clang.
- Move getc() body before xgetc() so gcc does not emit a warning about
function having no body.
1. arch_loadaddr - used by platform code to adjust the address at which
the object gets loaded. Implement PC98 using this new interface instead
of using conditional compilation. For ELF objects the ELF header is
passed as the data pointer. For raw files it's the filename. Note that
ELF objects are first considered as raw files.
2. arch_loadseg - used by platform code to keep track of actual segments,
so that (instruction) caches can be flushed or translations can be
created. Both the ELF header as well as the program header are passed
to allow platform code to treat the kernel proper differently from any
additional modules and to have all the relevant details of the loaded
segment (e.g. protection).
This patch shrinks boot2 a little.
o It switches kname to be just a pointer instead of an array.
o It changes ioctl to unsigned from uint8_t.
o It changes the second keyhit limit to 3 seconds from 5.
o It removes bi_basemem/bi_extmem/bi_memsizes_valid setting.
In sys/boot/i386/boot2/boot2.c, change the type of the 'opts' variable
from uint16_t back to uint32_t. The actual option bitmasks (RB_* and
RBX_*) assume at least a 32 bit variable.

and sys/boot/pc98/boot2, do not simply assign 'gcc' to CC, since compile
flags are sometimes passed via this variable, for example during the
build32 stage on amd64. This caused the 32-bit libobjc build on amd64
to fail.
Instead, only replace the first instance of clang (if any, including
optional path) with gcc, and leave the arguments alone.

which also avoids NULL pointer arithmetic, as suggested by jhb. The
available space goes from 11 bytes to 7.

GCC forwards the -N flag directly to ld. This flag is not documented and
not supported by (for example) Clang. Just use -Wl,-N.

It's based on the newest i386's one and has the advantage of:
- ELF binary support.
- UFS2 filesystem support.
- Many FreeBSD slices support on a disk.

uses the generic struct dirent, which happens to look identical to UFS's
struct direct. If BSD ever changes dirent then this will be a problem.

set the %eflags used during a BIOS call via BTX to 0x202. Previously
the flags field was uninitialized garbage, and thus it was "random" if
interrupts were enabled or not during BIOS calls.
- Use constants from <machine/psl.h> for fields in %eflags.
