Although PPC OFW loader already had a LOADER_MSDOS_SUPPORT option, a few lines
were missing in conf.c, in order to support FAT filesystems.
This is useful when running FreeBSD under QEMU, to be able to easily change the
kernel and modules when running on hosts without UFS read/write support.

On slow platforms, it helps to spread the hashing load
over time so that tftp does not timeout.
Also, some .4th files are too big to fit in cache of pkgfs,
so increase cache size and ensure fully populated.

The efi console init is avoided since conin setup was moved to probe.
In case the console is re-initialized, we need to pick up colors
from environment.
This option is intended to aid development, to allow building with user malloc.
The use case would be to build userboot & test with libc (or other) malloc and
use extra malloc debug features.
Now that LLD 10 is out, and required patches have landed, we are now ready
to finally switch away from the ancient in-tree ld.bfd.

The SCR, scratch register was not present on the 8250 and 8250B UART, so we

We need this test because some systems will get long delays while attempting

The vectx API, computes the hash for verifying a file as it is read.
This avoids the overhead of reading files twice - once to verify, then
again to load.
For doing an install via loader, avoiding the need to rewind
large files is critical.
This API is only used for modules, kernel and mdimage as these are the
biggest files read by the loader.
The reduction in boot time depends on how expensive the I/O is
on any given platform. On a fast VM we see 6% improvement.
For install via loader the first file to be verified is likely to be the
kernel, so some of the prep work (finding manifest etc) done by
verify_file() needs to be factored so it can be reused for
vectx_open().
For missing or unrecognized fingerprint entries, we fail
in vectx_open() unless verifying is disabled.
Otherwise fingerprint check happens in vectx_close() and
since this API is only used for files which must be verified
(VE_MUST) we panic if we get an incorrect hash.

LLD 10.0.0 changed the behavior of the -Ttext option, so that using
-Ttext=0x0 now causes linking of the loaders to fail with:
ld: error: output file too large: 18446744073707016908 bytes
I reported this in https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44715, and
initially reverted the upstream change in r357259 to work around it.
However, after some discussion with Fangrui Song in the upstream ticket,
I think we can classify this as an unfortunate interaction between using
-Ttext=0 in combination with --no-rosegment. (We added the latter
in r332090, because btxld does not correctly handle input with more
than 2 PT_LOAD segments.)
Fangrui suggested to use a linker script instead, and Warner was already
attempting this in r305353, but had to revert it due to "crypto-using
boot problems" (not sure what those were :).
This review updates the stand/i386/boot.ldscript to handle more
sections, inserts some symbols like _edata and such that we use in
libsa, and also discards any .interp section.
It uses ORG which is defined on the linker command line using
--defsym ORG=value to set the start of all the sections.

Before this change, LLD10 was creating several extra PT_LOAD sections,
which OFW does not understand.
Like we do for the kernel already, specify the program headers manually.
Additionally, to work around a crash in our base ld.bfd, we need to
actually assign something to the output section. LLD does not need this.
One side effect of this change is the removal of the GNU_STACK header.
This is more correct, since we are using a statically-allocated stack and
RWX mappings across the board this early in boot.

We still need to set the hooks to prevent improper manipulations thereafter
at the loader prompt, but as it is we're actively preventing loaddev from
being set correctly in some circumstances (ZFS in particular) and doing more
work than needed with currdev -- that hook in particular validates it as a
correct device, which we can assume isn't needed in this context.

This may be used for the local module to hook in and load any additional
modules that it wants, since it can't modify the modules table internal to
config. We may consider adding API to do so at a later time, but I suspect
it will be more complicated to use with little return.
status is captured but ignored for the purpose of loading the hook. status
will be false if *any* module failed to load, but we typically don't let
that halt the boot so there's no reason to let it halt hooks. Some vendors
or setups may have expected fails that would be actively thwarted by
checking it.
We may, at a later date, consider adding an API for letting non-config
modules check which modules have successfully (or not) loaded in case an
unexpected failure *should* halt whatever they are doing.

The major problem with the current ordering is that loader.conf may contain
all of the magic we need to actually setup the console, so loading local.lua
prior to that can make it excessively difficult and annoying to debug
(whoops, sorry Ravi & Warner).
The new ordering has some implications, but I suspect they are a non-issue.
The first is that it's no longer possible for the local module to inject any
logic prior to loading config -- I suspect no one has relied on this. The
second implication is that the config.loaded hook is now useless, as the
local module will always be included after that hook would have fired.
For config.loaded, I will opt to leave it in, just in case we add an early
point for local lua to get injected or in case one wants to schedule some
deferred logic in a custom loader.lua. The overhead of having it if no hooks
will be invoked is relatively minimal.
