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.

x86 CPU support, better support for powerpc64, some new directives, and
many other things. Bump __FreeBSD_version, and add a note to UPDATING.
Thanks to the many people that have helped to test this.

on space for clang and a.out support is only needed for /boot/loader,
they are excess bytes that serve no useful purpose other than to
support really old kernels (FreeBSD < 3.2 or so). Prefer clang
support over support for these old kernels and remove this code. We
gain about 100 bytes of space this way.

little further. This gets us further on the way to be able to build it
successfully with clang. Using in-tree gcc, this shrinks boot2.bin with
60 bytes, the in-tree clang shaves off 72 bytes, and ToT clang 84 bytes.

Caveats: Support for the internal SATA controller is currently missing,
as is support for framebuffer resolutions other than 720x480. These
deficiencies will be remedied soon.
Special thanks to Peter Grehan for providing the hardware that made this
port possible, and thanks to Geoff Levand of Sony Computer Entertainment
for advice on the LV1 hypervisor.
The controller is commonly found on DM&P Vortex86 x86 SoC. The
driver supports all hardware features except flow control. The
flow control was intentionally disabled due to silicon bug.
DM&P Electronics, Inc. provided all necessary information including
sample board to write driver and answered many questions I had.
Many thanks for their support of FreeBSD.

usually false while on pSeries we have found that it is true. The real-mode?

BIOS does not support ACPI. The other options in the menu retain their
existing numbers, option 2 is simply blanked out (and '2' is ignored).
