    Disable MMX and SSE

    GCC 4.8.0 adds some optimizations that will use movups/movaps (and use
    %xmm* registers) when they're faster, and of course that won't work at
    all since UEFI firmwares aren't guaranteed to initialize the mmx/sse
    instructions.

    This will be even more annoying, since most UEFI firmwares don't
    initialize the #DE or #UD trap handlers, and your backtrace will be a
    random path through uninitialized memory, occasionally including
    whatever address the IDT has for #UD, but also addresses like "0x4" and
    "0x507" that you don't normally expect to see in your call path.

    bug in make 3.82 expand to odd values

    Some Makefiles tickle a bug in make 3.82 that cause libefi.a
    and libgnuefi.a dependencies to expand to the odd values:

    libefi.a: boxdraw.o) smbios.o) ...
    libgnuefi.a(reloc_x86_64.o:

    The patch replaces libgnuefi.a($(OBJS)) & libefi.a($(OBJS))
    with an equivalent expansion that should work with any make
    that supports $(patsubst).

    cleanup and fix Make.defaults

    Reorder variables in Make.defaults so that they are grouped by
    functions. Also fixed ifeq (x,y) to have required syntax and make it
    work for ARCH amd64->x86_64 renaming on BSD. Also provides top-level
    Makefile with a "mkvars" target that displays effective variables.

    automatically determine number of uefi_call_wrapper() args on x86_64

    Instead of asking developers to explicitly pass the number of
    parameters to the functions that get called, we determine them
    automatically at preprocessing time. This should result in more
    robust code.

    Argument va_num is now ignored in x86_64 code, both with and
    without HAVE_USE_MS_ABI.

    Credits to the macro magic given in the comments.

    fix parameter-passing corruption on x86_64 for >= 5 args

    On x86_64 without HAVE_USE_MS_ABI support, uefi_call_wrapper() is a
    variadic function. Parameters >=5 are copied to the stack and, when
    passed small immediate values (and possibly other parameters), gcc
    would emit a movl instruction before calling uefi_call_wrapper(). As a
    result, only the lower 32b of these stack values are significant, the
    upper 32b potentially contain garbage. Considering that
    uefi_call_wrapper() assumes these arguments are clean 64b values
    before calling the efi_callX() trampolines, the latter may be passed
    garbage. This makes calling functions like
    EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL.Mem.Read()/Write() or BS->OpenProtocol() quite
    unreliable.

    This patch fixes this by turning uefi_call_wrapper() into a macro that
    allows to expose the efi_callX() trampoline signatures to the callers,
    so that gcc can know upfront that it has to pass all arguments to
    efi_callX() as clean 64b values (eg. movq for immediates). The
    _cast64_efi_callX macros are just here to avoid a gcc warning, they do
    nothing otherwise.

    - Removes the ElfW() macro usage from reloc_ia32.c and reloc_x86_64.c. These
    macros only exist in link.h on Linux. On FreeBSD, the equivalent macro is
    __ElfN(). But the macro usage is redundant. You're only going to compile the
    ia32 file for IA32 binaries and the x86_64 file for X64 binaries. If you had
    just one file built for both cases, then using the macro might make more
    sense.

    - Removes the "#define foo_t efi_foo_t" macros from reloc_ia32.c and
    reloc_x86_64.c.

    - Modifies inc/x86_64/efibind.h and inc/ia32/efibind.h to use the new
    definitions for uint64_t, int64_t and int8_t. The 64-bit types are now defined
    as:

            typedef int __attribute__((__mode__(__DI__)))           int64_t;
            typedef unsigned int __attribute__((__mode__(__DI__)))  uint64_t;

    This removes the conflict between the host types dragged in by elf.h and the
    type definitions in efibind.h that made the #define foo_t efi_foo_t" hack
    necessary. Also, int8_t is now defined as signed char instead of just char
    (assuming char == signed char is apparently not good enough).

    - Also modifies these files to use stdint.h instead of stdint-gcc.h. It's
    unclear if this is completely correct, but stdint-gcc.h is not present with
    all GCC installs, and if you use -std=c99 or later you will force this case to
    be hit. This also can break clang, which doesn't have a stdint-gcc.h at all.

    - Removes the #include of <link.h> from reloc_ia32.c and reloc_x86_64.c (since
    with the previous changes it's not needed anymore).

    - Places the #include of <elf.h> after #include <efi>/#include <efilib.h> so
    that we know the types will always be defined properly, in case you build on a
    system where <elf.h> doesn't automatically pull in the right header files to
    define all the needed types. (This actually happens on VxWorks. It's harmless
    elsewhere. If you don't care about VxWorks, you can leave this out.)

    - Modifies setjmp_ia32.S and setjmp_x86_64.S so to change "function" to
    @function. The clang compiler doesn't like the former. Clang and GCC both like
    the latter.

    - Modifles Make.defaults so that if ARCH is detected as "amd64," it's changed
    to "x86_64." It happens that uname -m on 64-bit FreeBSD reports the former
    rather than the latter, which breaks the build. This may also be the case on
    some other OSes. There's a way to force uname(1) to return x86_64 as the
    machine type, but this way is a little friendlier.

    - Creates gnuefi/elf_ia32_fbsd_efi.lds which specifies the object file type as
    elf-ia32-freebsd. This is required for building on FreeBSD/i386, not just
    FreeBSD/amd64.

    - Modifies apps/Makefile to always use
    $(TOPDIR)/gnuefi/elf_$(ARCH)_fbsd_efi.lds when building on either 32-bit or
    64-bit FreeBSD instead of just for the x86_64 case.

    - Changed LDFLAGS in Make.defaults to include --no-undefined. This will cause
    linking to fail if there are any unsatisfied symbols when creating foo.so
    during any of the app builds, as opposed to just silently succeeding and
    producing an unusable binary.

    - Changed CFLAGS to include -ffreestanding -fno-stack-protector -fno-stack-
    check. This prevents clang from inserting a call to memset() when compiling
    the RtZeroMem() and RtSetMem() routines in lib/runtime/efirtlib.c and guards
    against the native compiler in some Linux distros from adding in stack
    checking code which relies on libc help that isn't present in the EFI runtime
    environment.

    This does the following:

    - Cleans up the ia32 and x86-64 relocation code a bit (tries to break the
    dependency between the host ELF headers and the EFI runtime environment)
    - Avoids the dependency on stdint-gcc.h which may not always be available
    - Allows GNU EFI to build out of the box on both FreeBSD/i386 and
    FreeBSD/amd64
    - Allows GNU EFI to build out of the box with either GCC or clang on
    FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64 9.0 and later.
    - Makes things a little easier to port to VxWorks
    - Avoids creating un-runable binaries with unresolved symbol definitions
    (which can be very confusing to debug)

	* Change from Peter Jones <pjones (a] redhat.com>
	  - Previously we were incorrectly passing 3 functions with
            the System V ABI to UEFI functions as EFI ABI functions.
            Mark them as EFIAPI so the compiler will (in our new
            GNU_EFI_USE_MS_ABI world) use the correct ABI.
          - These need to be EFIAPI functions because in some cases
            they call ST->ConOut->OutputString(), which is an EFIAPI
            function. (Which means that previously in cases that
            needed "cdecl", these didn't work right.)
          - If the compiler version is new enough, and GNU_EFI_USE_MS_ABI
            is defined, use the function attribute ms_abi on everything
            defined with "EFIAPI".  Such calls will no longer go through
            efi_call*, and as such will be properly type-checked.
          - Honor PREFIX and LIBDIR correctly when passed in during the build.
          - Add machine type defines for i386, arm/thumb, ia64, ebc, x86_64.
          - __STDC_VERSION__ never actually gets defined unless there's a
            --std=... line.  So we were accidentally defining lots of c99
            types ourself. Since it's 2012, use --std=c11 where appropriate,
            and if it's defined and we're using gcc, actually include gcc's
            stdint definitions.
          - New test application added: route80h. This is a test program
            for PciIo.  It routes ioport 80h on ICH10 to PCI. This is also
            useful on a very limited set of hardware to enable use of
            a port 80h debug card.
          - New test applcation added: modelist. This lists video modes

            because the stack gets screwed. x86_64 EFI already aligns the
            stack, so there's no need for so much code to find a proper
            alignment, we always need to shift by 8 anyway.

	* merged ELI and LILO (as of gnu-efi-1.1) together, mostly
	  taking the config file feature of ELI.

	* renamed LILO to ELILO to make the distinction

	* restructured code to make it easier to understand and maintain

	* fixed FPSWA driver checking and loading: we try all possible
	  files and let the driver itself figure out if it is the most
	  recent.
	* added support for compression (gzip) but keep support for plain
	  ELF image. ELILO autodetects the format

	* change the way the kernel is invoked. Now we call it in
	  physical memory mode. This breaks the dependency between the
	  kernel code and the loader. No more lilo_start.c madness.

	* changed the way the boot_params are passed. We don't use the
	  ZERO_PAGE_ADDR trick anymore. Instead we use EFI runtime memory.
	  The address of the structure is passed to the kernel in r28
	  by our convention.

	* released as gnu-efi-2.0
