Fix the bug I introduced in r247045. After digging through more carefully, it looks like there's no real need to have the DTB in the module directory. So we can simplify a lot: Just copy DTB into local heap for "fdt addr" and U-Boot integration, drop all the extra COPYIN() calls.
I've left one final COPYIN() to update the in-kernel DTB for consistency with how this code used to work, but I'm no longer convinced it's appropriate here.
I've also remove the mem_load_raw() utility that I added to boot/common/module.c with r247045 since it's no longer necessary.

boot/console: handle consoles that fail to probe
- clarify meaning of console flags - perform i/o via a console only if both of the following conditions are met: o console is active (selected by user or config) o console flags that it can perform the operation - warn if a chosen console can not work (the warning may go nowhere without working and active console, though)

zfsboot/zfsloader: support accessing filesystems within a pool
In zfs loader zfs device name format now is "zfs:pool/fs", fully qualified file path is "zfs:pool/fs:/path/to/file" loader allows accessing files from various pools and filesystems as well as changing currdev to a different pool/filesystem.
zfsboot accepts kernel/loader name in a format pool:fs:path/to/file or, as before, pool:path/to/file; in the latter case a default filesystem is used (pool root or bootfs). zfsboot passes guids of the selected pool and dataset to zfsloader to be used as its defaults.
zfs support should be architecture independent and is provided in a separate library, but architectures wishing to use this zfs support still have to provide some glue code and their devdesc should be compatible with zfs_devdesc. arch_zfs_probe method is used to discover all disk devices that may be part of ZFS pool(s).
libi386 unconditionally includes zfs support, but some zfs-specific functions are stubbed out as weak symbols. The strong definitions are provided in libzfsboot. This change mean that the size of i386_devspec becomes larger to match zfs_devspec.
Backward-compatibility shims are provided for recently added sparc64 zfs boot support. Currently that architecture still works the old way and does not support the new features.
TODO: - clear up pool root filesystem vs pool bootfs filesystem distinction - update sparc64 support - set vfs.root.mountfrom based on currdev (for zfs)
Mid-future TODO: - loader sub-menu for selecting alternative boot environment
Distant future TODO: - support accessing snapshots, using a snapshot as readonly root

Add 2 new archsw interfaces: 1. arch_loadaddr - used by platform code to adjust the address at which the object gets loaded. Implement PC98 using this new interface instead of using conditional compilation. For ELF objects the ELF header is passed as the data pointer. For raw files it's the filename. Note that ELF objects are first considered as raw files. 2. arch_loadseg - used by platform code to keep track of actual segments, so that (instruction) caches can be flushed or translations can be created. Both the ELF header as well as the program header are passed to allow platform code to treat the kernel proper differently from any additional modules and to have all the relevant details of the loaded segment (e.g. protection).

Remove file system support based on the simple file system protocol as this only allows us to access file systems that EFI knows about. With a loader that can only use EFI-supported file systems, we're forced to put /boot on the EFI system partition. This is suboptimal in the following ways: 1. With /boot a symlink to /efi/boot, mergemaster complains about the mismatch and there's no quick solution. 2. The EFI loader can only boot a single version of FreeBSD. There's no way to install multiple versions of FreeBSD and select one at the loader prompt. 3. ZFS maintains /boot/zfs/zpool.cache and with /boot a symlink we end up with the file on a MSDOS file system. ZFS does not have proper handling of file systems that are under Giant.
Implement a disk device based on the block I/O protocol instead and pull in file system code from libstand. The disk devices are really the partitions that EFI knows about.
This change is backward compatible.

- vfs.zfs.super_owner
Allows regular users to perform privileged operations on files stored on ZFS file systems owned by him. Very careful with this one.
- chflags(2)
Not all the flags are supported. This still needs work.
- ZFSBoot

Add __elfN(relocation_offset). It holds the offset between the virtual (link) address and the physical (load) address. Ideally, the mapping between link and load addresses should be abstracted by the copyin(), copyout() and readin() functions, so that we don't have to add kluges in __elfN(loadimage)(). Then, we could also have paged virtual memory for the kernel. This can be important under EFI, where you need to allocate physical memory form the firmware if you want to work in all scenarios.

Add the loader side of support for preloading ELF relocatable object format modules, which are currently only used on the amd64 platform. This initial implementation just parses enough of the module to allow it to extract dependencies and load all the bits into the right place in memory, so the kernel must still do the full relocation and linking. The details of the loaded sections are passed to the kernel by supplying a copy of the ELF section header table as module metadata with the MODINFOMD_SHDR tag.

Separate out the ELF relocation code from the ELF loader, and add better relocation support for the amd64 and i386 platforms. This should not result in any change in functionality, but moves a step towards supporting the relocatable object file modules on amd64.

Enable the i386 loader to load and run an amd64 kernel. If this puts things over floppy size limits, I can exclude it for release builds or something like that. Most of the changes are to get the load_elf.c file into a seperate elf32_ or elf64_ namespace so that you can have two ELF loaders present at once. Note that for 64 bit kernels, it actually starts up the kernel already in 64 bit mode with paging enabled. This is really easy because we have a known minimum feature set.
Of note is that for amd64, we have to pass in the bios int 15 0xe821 memory map because once in long mode, you absolutely cannot make VM86 calls. amd64 does not use 'struct bootinfo' at all. It is a pure loader metadata startup, just like sparc64 and powerpc. Much of the infrastructure to support this was adapted from sparc64.

Declare time(not3) instead of depending on namespace pollution 3 layers deep in <stand.h> to eventually include <time.h> to declare the user version.
This is not quite the right place to declare it, but <stand.h> would be worse because time() is very MD so it isn't in libstand.
Many places in the boot sources still get the user version using only 1 layer of pollution (#include <sys/time.h>. Some pollute themselves directly (#include <time.h>). But the boot Makefiles are too broken to enable warnings for redeclarations.

Bring the 'new-bus' to the i386. This extensively changes the way the i386 platform boots, it is no longer ISA-centric, and is fully dynamic. Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability shims' to enable a smoother transition. eisa, isapnp and pccard* are not yet using the new resource manager. Once fully converted, all drivers will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.
(Some other changes appear to have snuck in, including a port of Soren's ATA driver to the Alpha. Soren, back this out if you need to.)
This is a checkpoint of work-in-progress, but is quite functional.

Implement a simple LRU block cache. By default this is initialised to 16k, and will bypass transfers for more than 8k. Blocks are invalidated after 2 seconds, so removable media should not confuse the cache.
The 8k threshold is a compromise; all UFS transfers performed by libstand are 8k or less, so large file reads thrash the cache. However many filesystem metadata operations are also performed using 8k blocks, so using a lower threshold gives poor performance.
Those of you with an eye for cache algorithms are welcome to tell me how badly this one sucks; you can start with the 'bcachestats' command which will print the contents of the cache and access statistics.

First shot at loading elf symbols. Things are a bit strange because of the ..umm.. "wierd" way binutils lays out the file. The section headers are nearly at the end of the file and this is a problem when loading from a .gz file which can't seek backwards (or has a limited reverse seek, ~2K from memory).
This is intended to be compatable with the ddb/db_elf.c code and the alpha/libalpha/elf_freebsd.c layout. I've studied these (which are NetBSD derived) but did it a bit differently. Naturally the process is similar since it's supposed to end up with the same result.

- Move some startup code from MD to MI sections - Add a 'copyout' and some copyout-related functions.

This can be used eg. for loading splash-screen images etc. - Add KLD module dependancy infrastructure. We know how to look for dependancies inside KLD modules, how to resolve these dependancies and what to do if things go wrong. Only works for a.out at the moment, due to lack of an MI ELF loader. Attach KLD module information to loaded modules as metadata, but don't pass it to the kernel (it can find it itself). - Load a.out KLD modules on a page boundary. Only pad the a.out BSS for the kernel, as it may want to throw symbols away. (We might want to do this for KLD modules too.) - Allow commands to be hidden from the '?' display, to avoid cluttering it with things like 'echo'. Add 'echo'. - Bring the 'prompt' command into line with the parser syntax. - Fix the verbose 'ls'; it was using an uninitialised stack variable. - Add a '-v' flag to 'lsmod' to have it display module metadata as well (not terribly useful for the average user) - Support a 'module searchpath' for required modules. - The bootstrap file on i386 is now called 'loader' to permit the /boot directory to use that name. - Discard the old i386 pread() function, as it's replaced by arch_readin()

This is the new unified bootstrap, sometimes known previously as the 'three-stage' bootstrap. There are a number of caveats with the code in its current state: - The i386 bootstrap only supports booting from a floppy. - The kernel and kld do not yet know how to deal with the extended information and module summary passed in. - PnP-based autodetection and demand loading of modules is not implemented. - i386 ELF kernel loading is not ready yet. - The i386 bootstrap is loaded via an ugly blockmap.
On the alpha, both net- and disk-booting (SRM console machines only) is supported. No blockmaps are used by this code.
