Detailed commit messages:
r258741: Note that libstand is 32-bit on amd64 and powerpc64
r261568: Build libstand as a 64-bit library on amd64
The 32-bit bootloaders now link against libstand.a in
sys/boot/libstand32, so there is no need to force /usr/lib/libstand.a
to be 32-bit.
r261603: Don't force efi to a 32-bit build on amd64
r261668: Build libstand as a 64-bit library on ppc64
The 32-bit bootloaders now link against libstand.a in
sys/boot/libstand32, so there is no need to force /usr/lib/libstand.a
to be 32-bit.
This is equivalent to r261568 for amd64.
r263115: Add amd64 EFI headers
r263117: Connect 64-bit boot ficl to the build
It is not yet used, but this will ensure it doesn't get broken.
r263968: Use EFI types for EFI values (silences warnings).
EFI UINTN is actually a 64-bit type on 64-bit processors.
r264078: Put each source file on a separate line
This will simplify rebasing the amd64 UEFI patch set.
r264087: Build boot/ficl as 64-bit library on amd64
The 32-bit bootloaders on amd64 now use the 32-bit version in ficl32,
as is done with libstand32. The native 64-bit ficl will be used by the
upcoming UEFI loader.
r264088: Merge efilib changes from projects/uefi
r247216: Add the ability for a device to have an "alias" handle.
r247379: Fix network device registration.
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.
r247381: Remove a scatalogical debug printf that crept in.
r264092: Add -fPIC for amd64
r264095: 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:

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.

r247216:
Use the UEFI Graphics Output Protocol to get the parameters of the
framebuffer.
r264115: Fix printf format mismatches
r264132: Connect sys/boot/amd64 to the build
r264208: Do not build the amd64 UEFI loader with GCC
The UEFI loader causes buildworld to fail when building with (in-tree)
GCC, due to a typedef redefinition. As it happens the in-tree GCC
cannot successfully build the UEFI loader anyhow, as it does not support
__attribute__((ms_abi)). Thus, just avoid trying to build it with GCC,
rather than disconnecting it from the build until the underlying issue
is fixed.
r264261: Correct a variable's type for 64-bit Ficl
FICL_INT is long.
r264262: Fix printf args for 64-bit archs
r264263: Add explicit casts to quiet warnings in libefi
r264319: Fix EFI loader object tree creation on 9.x build hosts
Previously ${COMPILER_TYPE} was checked in sys/boot/amd64, and the efi
subdirectory was skipped altogether for gcc (since GCC does not support
a required attribute). However, during the early buildworld stages
${COMPILER_TYPE} is the existing system compiler (i.e., gcc on 9.x build
hosts), not the compiler that will eventually be used. This caused
"make obj" to skip the efi subdirectory. In later build stages
${COMPILER_TYPE} is "clang", and then the efi loader would attempt to
build in the source directory.
r265028 (dteske): Disable the beastie menu for EFI console ...
which doesn't support ANSI codes (so things like `at-xy', `clear', and
other commands don't work making it impossible to generate a living
menu).
r265057 (nwhitehorn): Turn off various fancy instruction sets...
as well as deduplicate some options. This makes the EFI loader build
work with CPUTYPE=native in make.conf on my Core i5.
r268974 (sbruno): Supress clang warning for FreeBSD printf %b and %D formats
Relnotes: Yes
