memory directly available to loader(8) and friends was limited to 640K on i386.
Those times have passed long time ago and now loader(8) can directly access
up to 4GB of RAM at least theoretically. At the same time, there are several
places where it's assumed that malloc() will only allocate memory within
first megabyte.
Remove that assumption by allocating appropriate bounce buffers for BIOS
calls on stack where necessary.
This allows using memory above first megabyte for heap if necessary.

the serial console speed (i386 and amd64 only). If the previous
stage boot loader requested a serial console (RB_SERIAL or RB_MULTIPLE)
then the default speed is determined from the current serial port
speed. Otherwise it is set to 9600 or the value of BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED
at compile time.
This makes it possible to set the serial port speed once in
/boot.config and the setting will propagate to boot2, loader and
the kernel serial console.
/boot.config or on the "boot:" prompt line via a "-S<speed>" flag,
e.g. "-h -S19200". This adds about 50 bytes to the size of boot2
and required a few other small changes to limit the size impact.
This changes only affects boot2; there are further loader changes
to follow.
which serial device to use in that case respectively to not rely on
the OFW names of the input/output and stdin/stdout devices. Instead
check whether input and output refers to the same device and is of
type serial (uart(4) was already doing this) and for the fallback
to a serial console in case a keyboard is the selected input device
but unplugged do the same for stdin and stdout in case the input
device is nonexistent (PS/2 and USB keyboards) or has a 'keyboard'
property (RS232 keyboards). Additionally also check whether the OFW
did a fallback to a serial console in the same way in case the
output device is nonexistent. While at it save on some variables
and for sys/boot/sparc64/loader/metadata.c move the code in question
to a new function md_bootserial() so it can be kept in sync with
uart_cpu_getdev_console() more easily.
This fixes selecting a serial console and the appropriate device
when using a device path for the 'input-device' and 'output-device'
OFW environment variables instead of an alias for the serial device
to use or when using a screen alias that additionally denotes a
video mode (like e.g. 'screen:r1024x768x60') but no keyboard is
plugged in (amongst others). It also makes the code select a serial
console in case the OFW did the same due to a misconfiguration like
both 'input-device' and 'output-device' set to 'keyboard' or to a
nonexisting device (whether the OFW does a fallback to a serial
console in case of a misconfiguration or one ends up with just no
console at all highly depends on the OBP version however).

mode and clients were limited to a virtual address space of 16 megabytes.
Because of this limitation, boot2 silently masked all physical addresses
in any binaries it loaded so that they were always loaded into the first
16 Meg. Since BTX no longer has this limitation (and hasn't for a long
time), remove the masking from boot2. This allows boot2 to load kernels
larger than about 12 to 14 meg (12 for non-PAE, 14 for PAE).
