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).
set the %eflags used during a BIOS call via BTX to 0x202. Previously
the flags field was uninitialized garbage, and thus it was "random" if
interrupts were enabled or not during BIOS calls.
- Use constants from <machine/psl.h> for fields in %eflags.

Slightly cleanup the 'bootdev' concept on x86 by changing the various
macros to treat the 'slice' field as a real part of the bootdev instead
of as hack that spans two other fields (adaptor (sic) and controller)
that are not used in any modern FreeBSD boot code.
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.

- Teach the i386 and pc98 loaders to honor multiple console requests from
their respective boot2 binaries so that the same console(s) are used in
both boot2 and the loader.
- Since the kernel doesn't support multiple consoles, whichever console is
listed first is treated as the "primary" console and is passed to the
kernel in the boot_howto flags.
