disk_open(). Very often this is called several times for one file.
This leads to reading partition table metadata for each call. To
reduce the number of disk I/O we have a simple block cache, but it
is very dumb and more than half of I/O operations related to reading
metadata, misses this cache.
Introduce new cache layer to resolve this problem. It is independent
and doesn't need initialization like bcache, and will work by default
for all loaders which use the new DISK API. A successful disk_open()
call to each new disk or partition produces new entry in the cache.
Even more, when disk was already open, now opening of any nested
partitions does not require reading top level partition table.
So, if without this cache, partition table metadata was read around
20-50 times during boot, now it reads only once. This affects the booting
from GPT and MBR from the UFS.
number is not exactly specified. When the disk has MBR, also try to read
BSD label after ptable_getpart() call. When the disk has GPT, also set
d_partition to 255. Mostly, this is how it worked before.
'path' argument of ofw_parsedev() if devspec refers raw device with no path.
For example, `ls /pci@1f,0/ide@d/disk@0,0:a/` works fine, while
`ls /pci@1f,0/ide@d/disk@0,0:a` panicked before this change.
Use of __builtin_constant_p in a function that is only called via
a pointer is a good example of how out-of-date it was.

MSI are implemented via software interrupt. PCIe cards will write
into software interrupt register which will cause inbound shared
interrupt which will be interpreted as a MSI.

- Add functions to calculate clocks instead using hardcoded values
- Update reset and timers functions
- Update number of interrupts
- Change name of platform from db88f78100 to db78460
- Correct DRAM size and PCI IRQ routing in dts file.

The previous one was totally bogus as it used hash value of
_output_ variable as an index for searching...
The only reliable way to do a reverse lookup here is to iterate
over all entries.

libstand(3) tries to detect file system in the predefined order,
but zfsloader usually is used for the booting from ZFS, and there is
no need to try detect several file system types for each open() call.
r239274 added support for ranges. Update XLP DTS to provide the correct
range parameter for the XLP SoC bus. Also fix bus_space_map method
for XLP bus space.

in sys/boot/i386/libi386/biosdisk.c. Otherwise, when DISK_DEBUG is
enabled, the DEBUG() macros will clobber those fields, and cause the
probing to always fail mysteriously when debugging is enabled.
When we open the disk, check the type of partition table, that has
been detected. If this is BSD label, then we assume this is DD mode.
