src/sys/boot/efi, branch releng/7.3

Major rework of the ia64 loaders. The two primary objectives are:

2006-11-05T22:03:04Z

1. Make libefi portable by removing ia64 specific code and build it on i386 and amd64 by default to prevent regressions. These changes include fixes and improvements over previous code to establish or improve APIs where none existed or when the amount of kluging was unacceptably high. 2. Increase the amount of sharing between the efi and ski loaders to improve maintainability of the loaders and simplify making changes to the loader-kernel handshaking in the future. The version of the efi and ski loaders are now both changed to 1.2 as user visible improvements and changes have been made.

Make this compile on EFI32. The EFI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS type is always

2006-11-03T04:19:31Z

64-bit, even when sizeof(void *) is 32-bit.

Sync the EFI headers with version 1.10.14.62 of the Intel sample EFI

implementation. This re-introduces C99 style comments that previously were replaced by original C comments.

Extend struct devdesc with a unit field, called d_unit. Promote the

2006-11-02T01:23:18Z

device (kind) specific unit field to the common field. This change allows a future version of libefi to work without requiring anything more than what is defined in struct devdesc and as such makes it possible to compile said version of libefi for different platforms without requiring that those platforms have identical derivatives of struct devdesc.

Remove more Alpha bits from the boot code including fixing several

stale comments.

Add loader(8) variables for RB_DFLTROOT, RB_MUTE, and RB_PAUSE:

2005-09-22T15:06:58Z

"boot_dfltroot", "boot_mute", and "boot_pause" respectively.

Don't try to use 'typedef struct foo' if just 'struct foo' makes more sense

netchild's mega-patch to isolate compiler dependencies into a central

2005-03-02T21:33:29Z

place. This moves the dependency on GCC's and other compiler's features into the central sys/cdefs.h file, while the individual source files can then refer to #ifdef __COMPILER_FEATURE_FOO where they by now used to refer to #if __GNUC__ > 3.1415 && __BARC__ <= 42. By now, GCC and ICC (the Intel compiler) have been actively tested on IA32 platforms by netchild. Extension to other compilers is supposed to be possible, of course.
