The work to make it possible to avoid bcache via using F_NORA modifier did
miss the fact that not all loader platforms are using the bcache, and so
it is possible the modifier is not cleared, as bcache strategy function is
not used.
For fix, we make sure the checks are dont with masked flag.
This patch does fix boot for platforms which do not use bcache.

Apparently the libstand dosfs optimization is a bit too optimistic
and did introduce possible memory corruption.
This patch is backing out the bad part and since this results in
dosfs reading full blocks now, we can also remove extra offset argument
from dv_strategy callback.
The analysis of the issue and the backout patch is provided by Mikhail Kupchik.

This change does modify devsw dv_print() to return the int value,
enabling walkers to interrupt the walk on non zero value from dv_print().
This will allow the pager_print actually to stop displaying data on
user input, and additionally pager is used in various *dev_print callbacks,
where it was missing.
For test, lsdev [-v] command should display data by screenfuls and should
stop when the key 'q' is pressed on pager prompt.

dev_net.c code.
The NETIF_OPEN_CLOSE_ONCE flag was added in r201932 to prevent that behaviour
on some architectures (sparc64 and powerpc64) the default was left to always
open and close the device for each open and close of a file by the loader
because it was necessary for u-boot on arm.
Since it has been added, the flag was turned on for every arches including the
u-boot loader for arm.
This also fixes netbooting on RPi3 (tested by gonzo@)
For the loader.efi it greatly speeds up netbooting

files and, in a number of these places, there were problems with how they
were declared.
Some used int return instead of time_t. On some architectures the bit
width of time_t did not naturally fit into an integer and could lead to
some unexpected behavior. (For example, 32-bit ARM builds uses a 64-bit
time_t.)
Make sure the function prototypes always specify void for the argument
list when they do not have any arguemnts, otherwise some compilers can
complain about the prototype.

The block cache implementation in loader has proven to be almost useless, and in worst case even slowing down the disk reads due to insufficient cache size and extra memory copy.
Also the current cache implementation does not cache reads from CDs, or work with zfs built on top of multiple disks.
Instead of an LRU, this code uses a simple hash (O(1) read from cache), and instead of a single global cache, a separate cache per block device.
The cache also implements limited read-ahead to increase performance.
To simplify read ahead management, the read ahead will not wrap over bcache end, so in worst case, single block physical read will be performed to fill the last block in bcache.

The powerpc support was the only supported architecture not prepending the elf format name
with "-freebsd" in base this change makes it consistent with other architectures.
On newer version of binutils the powerpc format is also prepended with "-freebsd".
Also modify the kernel ldscripts in that regards.
As a result it is now possible cross build the kernel on powerpc using newer binutils

particular, allow loaders to define the name of the RC script the
interpreter needs to use. Use this new-found control to have the
PXE loader (when compiled with TFTP support and not NFS support)
read from ${bootfile}.4th, where ${bootfile} is the name of the
file fetched by the PXE firmware.
The normal startup process involves reading the following files:
1. /boot/boot.4th
2. /boot/loader.rc or alternatively /boot/boot.conf
When these come from a FreeBSD-defined file system, this is all
good. But when we boot over the network, subdirectories and fixed
file names are often painful to administrators and there's really
no way for them to change the behaviour of the loader.

we can find a way to get the information from petitboot or to guess it, so
the current algorithm is:
1. See if ps3disk3p1 (first GPT slice on OtherOS partition) exists, and if
so try to boot it.
2. Otherwise, netboot.
