Note that this MFC contains some seemingly unrelated zfsloader bits -- this
was needed in order to pull in some later fixes for GELI hand-off w/ ZFS
bits included.

r336252:
Extend loader(8) geli support to all architectures and all disk-like devices.

This moves the bulk of the geli support from lib386/biosdisk.c into a new
geli/gelidev.c which implements a devsw-type device whose dv_strategy()
function handles geli decryption. Support for all arches comes from moving
the taste-and-attach code to the devopen() function in libsa.

After opening any DEVT_DISK device, devopen() calls the new function
geli_probe_and_attach(), which will "attach" the geli code to the open_file
struct by creating a geli_devdesc instance to replace the disk_devdesc
instance in the open_file. That routes all IO for the device through the
geli code.

A new public geli_add_key() function is added, to allow arch/vendor-specific
code to add keys obtained from custom hardware or other sources.

With these changes, geli support will be compiled into all variations of
loader(8) on all arches because the default is WITH_LOADER_GELI.

r336254:
Use if rather than case for a simple boolean. gcc thinks blks is
undefined sometimes with the case, but enc is always 0 or 1, so
and if / else is better anyway.

r336256:
Fix glitched indentation (and rewrap as needed due to deeper indent).
No functional changes.

r336354:
zfsboot: fix build with WITHOUT_LOADER_GELI

r336532:
Collapse zfsloader functionality back down into loader.

We no longer really need a separate zfsloader. It was useful when we
were first supporting ZFS and had limited ability to properly boot off
of ZFS without the special boot loader. Now that the boot loader has
matured, go the way loader.efi pioneered and just build one
binary. Change the name of the loader to load in the secondary boot
blocks to be just /boot/loader. Provide a symbolic link from zfsloader
to loader so people who have not upgraded their boot blocks are not
affected. This has the happy benefit of making coexistence easier as
well (fewer binaries in the matrix).

r336533:
Eliminate zfsloader man page.

Remove all cross references to zfsloader.8 and /boot/zfsloader.
Move ZFS specific info into loader.8.

r336534:
NM and OBJCOPY are already defined for all builds. There's no need to
conditionally define them here.

r336537:
Mention zfsloader being folded into loader in UPDATING.

r336626:
Older zfs boot blocks don't support symlinks. install the link to
zfsloader as a hard link. While newer ones do, the whole point of the
link was to transition to the new world order smoothly. A hard link is
less flexible, but it works and will result in fewer bumps. Adjust
UPDATING entry to match.

r337326:
loader: biosdisk.c has leftover geli header.

A small cleanup, remove unneeded #include.

r337349:
zfsboot: Fix startup crash

On a FreeNAS mini XL, with geli encrypted drives the loader crashed in
geli_read().

When we iterate over the list of disks and allocate the zfsdsk structures we
don’t zero out the gdev pointer. In one case that resulted in geli_read()
(called on the bogus pointer) dividing by zero.

Use calloc() to ensure the zfsdsk structure is always zeroed, so the pointer is
initialised to NULL. As a side benefit it gets rid of one #ifdef
LOADER_GELI_SUPPORT.

r341071:
Restore the ability to override the disk unit/partition at the boot: prompt
in gptboot.

When arch-independent geli support was added, a new static 'gdsk' struct
was added, but there was still a static 'dsk' struct, and when you typed
in an alternate disk/partition, the string was parsed into that struct,
which was then never used for anything. Now the string gets parsed into
gdsk.dsk, the struct that's actually used.

r341160:
Add comments describing the bootargs handoff between loader(8) and gptboot
or zfsboot, when loader(8) is the BTX loader. No functional changes.

r341420:
Eliminate duplicated code and struct member definitions in the handoff
of args data between gptboot/zfsboot and loader(8).

Despite what seems like a lot of changes here, there are no actual
changes in behavior, or in the data layout in the structures involved.
This is just eliminating identical code pasted into multiple locations.

In detail, the changes are...

- Move struct zfs_boot_args definition from libsa/zfs/libzfs.h to
i386/common/bootargs.h because it is specific to x86 booting and the
handoff between zfsboot and loader, and has no relation to the zfs
library code in general.

- The geli_boot_args and zfs_boot_args structs both contain an identical
set of member variables containing geli information. Extract this out
to a new geli_boot_data struct, and embed it in the arg-passing structs.

- Provide new routines geli_import_boot_data() and geli_export_boot_data()
that can be shared between gptboot, zfsboot, and loader instead of
pasting identical code into several different .c files.

- Remove some checks for a NULL pointer that can never be true because the
pointer being tested was set using pointer math (kargs + 1) and that can
never result in NULL in this code.

r341473:
Fix args cross-threading between gptboot(8) and loader(8) with zfs support.

When loader(8) is built with zfs support enabled, it assumes that any extarg
data present is a zfs_boot_args struct, but if the first-stage loader was
gptboot(8) the extarg data is actually a geli_boot_args struct. Luckily,
zfsboot(8) and gptzfsboot(8) have always passed KARGS_FLAGS_ZFS along with
KARGS_FLAGS_EXTARG, so we can use KARGS_FLAGS_ZFS to decide whether the
extarg data is a zfs_boot_args struct.

To avoid similar problems in the future, gptboot(8) now passes a new
KARGS_FLAGS_GELI to indicate that extarg data is geli_boot_args. In
loader(8), if the neither KARGS_FLAGS_ZFS nor KARGS_FLAGS_GELI is set but
extarg data is present (which will be the case for gptboot compiled before
this change), we now check for the known size of the geli_boot_args struct
passed by the older versions of gptboot as a way of confirming what type of
extarg data is present.

In a semi-related tidying up, since loader's main() has already decided
what type of extarg data is present and set the global 'zargs' var
accordingly, don't repeat the check in extract_currdev, just check whether
zargs is NULL or not.

r341651:
Don't reference zfs-specific variables if LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT is undefined
because the variables will be undefined too.

r342793:
MK_ZFS -> {MK_ZFS|MK_LOADER_ZFS}, this is so we can diable userland / kernel
ZFS but keep the boot-loaders when using ZoL port.

Relnotes: yes (GELI support extended)
Relnotes: yes (zfsloader has been collapsed into loader and may be
removed after boot blocks have been updated)
