Allwinner bootrom have an alternate location for u-boot at 128k.
Work was made recently in u-boot to relocate correctly if loaded from
there.
The advantage of this offset is that we can now use a GPT scheme.
We create a UFS root filesystem using makefs(8), and later pass it to
mkimg(1) when creating the final image. The correct partition type is
freebsd-ufs; the freebsd parition type is for partitions containing a
BSD disklabel.

At some poing over the last week, the bootx64.efi file has grown
past the 800KB threshold, resulting in being unable to copy it to
the EFI/BOOT directory.
# stat -f %z efiboot.znWo7m
819200
# stat -f %z stand-test.PIEugN/EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi
842752
The comment in the script that creates the ISOs suggests that 800KB
is the maximum allowed for the boot code, however I was able to
boot an ISO with a 1024KB boot partition. Additionally, I verified
against an ISO from OtherOS, where the boot EFI partition is 2.4MB.

Some IPMI implementations on arm64 are reportedly unable to load our
memstick installer images, but support the older ISO format. Start
generating these for arm64.
Unlike installer ISOs for other platforms, these images are UEFI-only.

The recent rpi-firmware update renamed "0" to "zero" in the RPi0 DTB

It also included the components needed to boot the RPi4, so install those
now -- interested parties can install sysutils/u-boot-rpi4 and copy
config_rpi4.txt to config.txt on the FAT partition in order to boot the
board. Do note that we currently don't support ethernet/usb/pci.

Currently, the installer uses pre-created 800KB FAT12 filesystems that
it dd's onto the ESP partition.
This changeset improves that by having the installer generate a FAT32
filesystem directly onto the ESP using newfs_msdos and then copying
loader.efi into /EFI/freebsd.
For live installs it then runs efibootmgr to add a FreeBSD boot entry
in the BIOS.

boot1.efi have some trouble to read MBR partitions, it needs them to be
aligned a certain way while loader.efi can cope with them either way.
We want to switch to loader.efi as the main efi loader everywhere, it seems
that arm64 using MBR partition will be the guinea pig.

The Pine64 root filesystem was incorrectly created directly on the MBR
partition. This can cause the loader to get confused when loading the
kernel from this filesystem.
The loader will see this as a small partition meaning later checks to
ensure it doesn't read past the end of the disk incorrectly report a
failure. This seems to work mostly by accident with the released images as
they are smaller than the reported size, however after growfs has run the
image may no longer boot.

This changes the build OBJDIR from the older style of /usr/obj/<srcdir> for
native builds, and /usr/obj/<target>.<target_arch>/<srcdir> for cross builds to
a new simpler format of /usr/obj/<srcdir>/<target>.<target_arch>. This
new format is used regardless of cross or native build. It allows
easier management of multiple source tree object directories.
The UNIFIED_OBJDIR option will be removed and its feature made permanent
for the 12.0 release.

There's not much practical difference as far as install media is
concerned but newfs creates UFSv2 by default and it is sensible to use
the contemporary UFS version.
I also intend to change makefs to create UFSv2 by default (to match
newfs) so we'll want make-memstick.sh to be explicit, rather than
relying on the host tool's default.
