MFC EFI support for the installer
r264978 (nwhitehorn):
Add EFI support to the installer. This requires that the kernel provide a sysctl to determine what firmware is in use. This sysctl does not exist yet, so the following blocks are in front of the wheels: - I've provisionally called this "hw.platform" after the equivalent thing on PPC - The logic to check the sysctl is short-circuited to always choose BIOS. There's a comment in the top of the file about how to turn this off.
If IA64 acquired a boot1.efifat-like thing (probably with very few modifications), the same code could be adapted there.
r265016 (nwhitehorn):
Finish connecting up installer UEFI support. If the kernel was booted using EFI, set up the disks for an EFI system. If booted from BIOS/CSM, set up for BIOS.
r268256 (nwhitehorn):
After EFI support was added to the installer, it needed to allow boot partitions of types other than "freebsd-boot" (in particular, "efi"). This allows the removal of some nasty hacks for supporting PowerPC systems, in particular aliasing freebsd-boot to apple-boot on APM and an IBM-specific code on MBR.
This changes the installer to use the correct names, which also breaks a degeneracy in the meaning of "freebsd-boot" that allows the addition of support for some newer IBM systems that can boot from GPT in addition to MBR. Since I have no idea how to detect which those systems are, leave the default on IBM PPC systems as MBR for now.

Change the set and unset ctlreqs by making the index argument optional. This allows setting attributes on tables. One simply does not provide an index in that case. Otherwise the entry corresponding the index has the attribute set or unset.
Use this change to fix a relatively longstanding bug in our GPT scheme that's the result of rev 198097 (relatively harmless) followed by rev 237057 (damaging). The damaging part being that our GPT scheme always has the active flag set on the PMBR slice. This is in violation with EFI. Existing EFI implementions for both x86 and ia64 reject the GPT. As such, GPT disks created by us aren't usable under EFI because of that.
After this change, GPT disks never have the active flag set on the PMBR slice. In order to make the GPT disk bootable under some x86 BIOSes, the reason of rev 198097, one must now set the active attribute on the gpt table. The kernel will apply this to the PMBR slice For (S)ATA: gpart set -a active ada0
To fix an existing GPT disk that has the active flag set in the PMBR, and that does not need the flag, use (again for (S)ATA): gpart unset -a active ada0
The EBR, MBR & PC98 schemes, which also impement at least 1 attribute, now check to make sure the entry passed is valid. They do not have attributes that apply to the table.

Implement the G_PART_DUMPCONF method for all 6 schemes. Also call the method for the (indent == NULL) case (i.e. the kern.geom.conftxt sysctl). The purpose is to extend the conftxt output with scheme- specific fields which can be used by libdisk. In particular, have the schemes dump the xs and xt fields, which contain the backward compatible values for class type and partition type. This allows libdisk to work with the legacy slicers as well as with gpart and helps/promotes migration.

Redefine G_PART_SCHEME_DECLARE() from populating a private linker set to declaring a proper module. The module event handler is part of the gpart core and will add the scheme to an internal list on module load and will remove the scheme from the internal list on module unload. This makes it possible to dynamically load and unload partitioning schemes.

Follow-up improvements to the handling of false positives: If the partition table is empty, check to see if we have something that looks sufficiently like a BPB. On non-i386 machines, the boot sector typically doesn't contain boot code; the end of the boot sector is all zeroes. This is also where the partition table is for MBRs. We only check the sector size and cluster size, as that seems to be the most reliable across implementations, BPB versions and platforms.

Better handle false positives. The MBR differs from the boot sector only because there's a partition table where the boot sector has boot code. Boot sectors without boot code look like a MBR for all practical purposes. This change adds a check for the partition table and fails the probe when it's obvously invalid. The assumption being that the sector contains a boot sector and not a MBR. More checks are needed to distinguish a boot secto without boot code from a (empty) MBR.

Have gpart synthesize a disk geometry if the underlying provider don't have it. Some partitioning schemes, as well as file systems, operate on the geometry and without it such schemes (e.g. MBR) and file systems (e.g. FAT) can't be created. This is useful for memory disks.
