994f7977f1 Mega-patch for OpenFirmware loader support.
- Flesh out ofw_readin routine.
- Add OpenFirmware load and exec routines.
- Make sure memory allocation for the kernel is done correctly.
- Change the way the heap is allocated so as to make it easier to deallocate
  when we hand over.
- Add a command to print memory maps similar to the one for ia64.

With this patch, I can now load and hand over to a kernel on my iMac.  There
are some problems with OpenFirmware routines failing after the hand over that
still need to be addressed.

7d73a33303 OpenFirmware/PowerPC loader, part 2.
As of this patchset, the loader builds (under NetBSD/macppc), boots, interacts
and talks to BOOTP/NFS servers.

(main.c was moved from boot/ofw/libofw to boot/ofw/common but has no revision
 history)

d84d862cbd "Ok, my loader's now up to putting up a prompt. It probes disks partially
but can't boot from them yet."

Thanks to Stephane Potvin for the some of the code in this set.

816e92565a Update loader logic to distinguish modules vs. files.
Add support for module metadata. The old way of dependancy
handling will be supported for a while.
