Logically, extend r286288 to cover all threads, by default.
The world has largely moved on from i386. Most FreeBSD users and developers
test on amd64 hardware. For better or worse, we have written a non-trivial
amount of kernel code that relies on stacks larger than 8 kB, and it "just
works" on amd64, so there has been little incentive to shrink it.
amd64 had its KSTACK_PAGES bumped to 4 back in Peter's initial AMD64 commit,
r114349, in 2003. Since that time, i386 has limped along on a stack half
the size. We've even observed the stack overflows years ago, but neglected
to fix the issue; see the 20121223 and 20150728 entries in UPDATING.
If anyone is concerned with this change, I suggest they configure their
AMD64 kernels with KSTACK_PAGES 2 and fix the fallout there first. Eugene
has identified a list of high stack usage functions in the first PR below.

limitations in mkimg we're still not quite to where I'd like to be
(I'd like to put s3 first on the disk, then s1, but mkimg won't allow
that currently). However, the resulting image now boots with qemu using:
qemu-system-x86_64 -hdd $file -serial telnet::4444,server -nographic
We'll need tweaks to create a specialized /etc/rc.d/growfs that can
create a properly grown image for either the simple or ping-pong
cases, but that will be later. Switched to pure serial console (-h)
instead of video or serial (-P) since that fits this usecase better.

saved register, but in arm EABI it may be either callee-saved or dedicated
to some special purpose (such as a TLS pointer). It appears clang does not
treat it as a callee-saved register (instead using it as another work
register, similar to r12).
Another important side effect of these changes is that saving an extra
register in the push/pop statements keeps the stack aligned to an 8-byte
boundary during the self_reloc() call, as it always should have been.
As stated in the PR...
Essentially the important caller-saved registers are pushed (r0, r1, r9, lr)
before the relocation call, and popped after. Then r8/r9 are saved as usual
for the syscall trampoline, and lr is stored in r8 (now free) as a
callee-saved value before calling into `main`.
The call to `main` can no longer be a tail call because we must restore r9
especially after main returns (although since we have used r8 to hold lr we
must also restore this).

during startup. When a brand new chip leaves the factory, it is in a
special power-saving mode that disables most functions on the chip to
save battery power. The chip is stuck in this mode until the first write
to the time registers, which automatically clears the special power-saving
mode and starts the oscillator.
Also, the day-of-week register in this chip counts 1-7, not 0-6, so write
the values accordingly.
These changes are based on the patch submitted by Brian Scott, but I
elimated warnings since this condition is expected, and added some comments,
and so in general blame me for any mistakes.

wc(1)'s slow path for counting words or multibyte characters requires
conversion of the 8-bit input stream to wide characters. However, a faster
path can be used for counting only lines ('-l' -- newlines have the same
representation in all supported encodings) or bytes ('-c').
The existing line count optimization was not used if the input was the
implicit stdin. Additionally, it wasn't used if only byte counting was
requested. This change expands the fast path to both of these scenarios.
Expanding the buffer size from 64 kB helps reduce the number of read(2)
calls needed, but exactly what impact that change has and what size to
expand the buffer to are still under discussion.

FFS performs asynchronous inode initialization, using a barrier write
to ensure that the inode block is written before the corresponding
cylinder group header update. Some GEOMs do not appear to handle
BIO_ORDERED correctly, meaning that the barrier write may not work as
intended. The sysctl allows one to work around this problem at the
cost of expensive file creation on new filesystems. The default
behaviour is unchanged.

efibootmgr manages the UEFI BootXXXX variables that implement the UEFI
Boot Manager protocol defined in the UEFI standards. It is modeled
after the Linux program of the same name with a mostly compatible set
of command line options. Since there's a fair amount of OS specifioc
code due to differeing names and methods of doing things, the
compatibility isn't 100%.
Basic functionality is implemented, though the more advanced next boot
functionality that's been defined elsewhere is unimplemented.

Now that the POSIX working group is going to require that basename(3)
and dirname(3) are thread-safe in future revisions of the standard,
there is even less of a need to provide basename_r(3). Remove this
function to prevent people from writing code that only builds on
FreeBSD and Bionic.
Removing this function seems to break exactly one port: sbruno@'s
qemu-user-static. I will send him a pull request on GitHub in a bit.
__FreeBSD_version will not be bumped, as any value from 2017 can be used
to test for the presence of a thread-safe basename(3)/dirname(3).
