Add multiboot 2 support to x86 bootloaders
multiboot 2 is required to boot Xen on an EFI system. This also require a kernel patch for properly discovering the ACPI RSDP, which is available after 20190912, in src/sys/arch/x86/acpi/acpi_machdep.c 1.26-1.28
There are a few missing bit in this multiboot 2 implementation (which are unused by Xen): - Header tags Address, Freambuffer, and Relocatable are ignored - Tags APM and Network are not provided - Tags ACPI old and ACP new are only provided for ACPI boot - Tag boot device does not provides the subpart (BSD disklabel partition)
Notes: - multiboot2 is disabled in dosboot, otherwise the binary gets too big and build fails. - in src/sys/arch/i386/stand/efiboot, consinit() is renamed as efi_consinit() to avoid prototype conflicts in src/sys/sys/systm.h
