Ed Maste 8c00aba8c4 Support UEFI booting on amd64 via loader.efi
This is largely the work from the projects/uefi branch, with some
additional refinements.  This is derived from (and replaces) the
original i386 efi implementation; i386 support will be restored later.

Specific revisions of note from projects/uefi:

r247380:

  Adjust our load device when we boot from CD under UEFI.

  The process for booting from a CD under UEFI involves adding a FAT
  filesystem containing your loader code as an El Torito boot image.
  When UEFI detects this, it provides a block IO instance that points at
  the FAT filesystem as a child of the device that represents the CD
  itself. The problem being that the CD device is flagged as a "raw
  device" while the boot image is flagged as a "logical partition". The
  existing EFI partition code only looks for logical partitions and so
  the CD filesystem was rendered invisible.

  To fix this, check the type of each block IO device. If it's found to
  be a CD, and thus an El Torito boot image, look up its parent device
  and add that instead so that the loader will then load the kernel from
  the CD filesystem.  This is done by using the handle for the boot
  filesystem as an alias.

  Something similar to this will be required for booting from other
  media as well as the loader will live in the EFI system partition, not
  on the partition containing the kernel.

r246231:

  Add necessary code to hand off from loader to an amd64 kernel.

r246335:

  Grab the EFI memory map and store it as module metadata on the kernel.

  This is the same approach used to provide the BIOS SMAP to the kernel.

r246336:

  Pass the ACPI table metadata via hints so the kernel ACPI code can
  find them.

r246608:

  Rework copy routines to ensure we always use memory allocated via EFI.

  The previous code assumed it could copy wherever it liked. This is not
  the case. The approach taken by this code is pretty ham-fisted in that
  it simply allocates a large (32MB) buffer area and stages into that,
  then copies the whole area into place when it's time to execute. A more
  elegant solution could be used but this works for now.

r247214:

  Fix a number of problems preventing proper handover to the kernel.

  There were two issues at play here. Firstly, there was nothing
  preventing UEFI from placing the loader code above 1GB in RAM. This
  meant that when we switched in the page tables the kernel expects to
  be running on, we are suddenly unmapped and things no longer work. We
  solve this by making our trampoline code not dependent on being at any
  given position and simply copying it to a "safe" location before
  calling it.

  Secondly, UEFI could allocate our stack wherever it wants. As it
  happened on my PC, that was right where I was copying the kernel to.
  This did not cause happiness. The solution to this was to also switch
  to a temporary stack in a safe location before performing the final
  copy of the loaded kernel.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
