(for example, a large mfsroot). Note that for EFI the kernel and
modules (as well as other metadata files such as splash screens or
memory disk images) are loaded into a statically-sized staging area.
When the EFI loader exits it copies this staging area down to the
location the kernel expects to run at.
- Add bounds checking to the copy routines to fail attempts to access
memory outside of the staging area. Previously loading a combined
kernel + modules larger than the staging size (32MB) would overflow
the staging area trashing whatever memory was afterwards. Under
Intel's OVMF firmware for qemu this resulted in fatal faults in the
firmware itself. Now the attempt will fail with ENOMEM.
- Allow the staging area size to be configured at compile time via
an EFI_STAGING_SIZE variable in src.conf or on the command line.
It accepts the size of the staging area in MB. The default size
remains 32MB.

an FDT. This is how Linux and OS X boot and can avoid some issues with
using Open Firmware at runtime. The code is highly experimental and disabled
by default; it can be turned on by setting the loader environment variable
"usefdt" to a non-NULL value.
confusion, the _setjmp.S in libstand was never being used and was instead
being shadowed by the libc version. Since the libc version now uses FPRs,
it caused loader to crash.
-mno-align-long-strings when compiling with base gcc. This is checked
by comparing the version number against 4.2.1, which is not exactly
right, but good enough. (There is no other way to check whether we are
using the non-standard gcc in base, as far as I know.)

When building some of the boot loaders with clang, and DEBUG_FLAGS or
CFLAGS having '-g' in it, clang outputs several assembly directives that
are too new for our version of binutils.
Therefore, assemble the resulting .s files with clang instead. A more
general solution can be implemented when a GNU as-compatible driver for
clang's integrated assembler appears.

contains one. Published dts source often includes a minimal default
memory definition and expects it to be overridden by the bootloader after
determining the actual physical memory in the system.
Motivation is to introduce BIOS specific quirks early in the boot
process. smbios_match can be called before malloc is avaible, that's
why parts of smbios_detect have been moved into a separate function
smbios_probe that will be called by smbios_detect as well as
smbios_match.

In UEFI it appears all available NICS are present to pass network traffic.
This gives the capability to load the loader.efi from disk then set
currdev="net3:" and then all I/O will over over the 2nd NIC. On this
machine is appears the first handle is the first NIC in IPv4 mode and
then the 2nd handle is the first NIC in IPv6 mode. The 3rd handle is
the 2nd NIC in IPv4 mode. The fix is to index into the handle based
on the unit cached from boot device passed into the loader.
Some testing info from a test boot via kenv:
currdev="net3:"
loaddev="net3:"

__attribute__((format(...))), and the -fformat-extensions flag was
removed, introduce a new macro in bsd.sys.mk to choose the right variant
of compile flag for the used compiler, and use it.
Also add something similar to kern.mk, since including bsd.sys.mk from
that file will anger Warner. :-)
Note that bsd.sys.mk does not support the MK_FORMAT_EXTENSIONS knob used
in kern.mk, since that knob is only available in kern.opts.mk, not in
src.opts.mk. We might want to add it later, to more easily support
external compilers for building world (in particular, sys/boot).
