partitions of types other than "freebsd-boot" (in particular, "efi").
This allows the removal of some nasty hacks for supporting PowerPC systems,
in particular aliasing freebsd-boot to apple-boot on APM and an IBM-specific
code on MBR.
This changes the installer to use the correct names, which also breaks a
degeneracy in the meaning of "freebsd-boot" that allows the addition
of support for some newer IBM systems that can boot from GPT in addition to
MBR. Since I have no idea how to detect which those systems are, leave
the default on IBM PPC systems as MBR for now.
As sc(4) and vt(4) coexist and are both enabled in GENERIC, the existence
of a vt(4) sysctl is not sufficient to determine that vt(4) is in use.

This also avoid the overflow that could happen on sysctlnametomib(3)
because the code was not checking the length of the mib array.

- Document -U to set the SMBIOS UUID.
- Add missing options to the usage output and to the manpage Synopsis.
- Don't claim that bvmdebug is amd64-only (it is also a device, not an
option).
Previously the sizes were inferred indirectly based on the size of the mappings
at 0 and 4GB respectively. This works fine as long as size of the allocation is
identical to the size of the mapping in the guest's address space. However, if
the mapping is disjoint then this assumption falls apart (e.g., due to the
legacy BIOS hole between 640KB and 1MB).

the patch will be submitted upstream... The next step if someone wants
to push it upstream is to break os_unix.c up so that all these other
utilities don't need libutil..

This is currently an opt-in build flag. Once ASLR support is ready and stable
it should changed to opt-out and be enabled by default along with ASLR.
Each application Makefile uses opt-out to ensure that ASLR will be enabled by
default in new directories when the system is compiled with PIE/ASLR. [2]
Mark known build failures as NO_PIE for now.
The only known runtime failure was rtld.

remove the now-redundant checks for RELEASE_CRUNCH. This originally
was defined for building smaller sysinstall images, but was later also
used by picobsd builds for a similar purpose. Now that we've moved
away from sysinstall, picobsd is the only remaining consumer of this
interface. Adding these two options reduces the RELEASE_CRUNCH
special cases in the tree by half.
