Details

Summary

Update exec.c (copyied from efi/loader/arch/arm64/exec.c) to allow
execution of aarch64 kernels. This includes a new trampile code that
handles copying the UEFI memory map, if available from the Linux FDT
provided PA. This is a complete implementation now, able to boot from
the LinuxBoot environment on an aarch64 server that onyl offers
LinuxBoot (though a workaround for the gitv3 inability to re-init is not
upstream in FreeBSD yet).

installs or sets up, probably not both?

This is likely to fail on a non-4k kernel. Should be ok for an initial port, but is something to be aware about.

Does it need to be physically contiguous? If so malloc might not if it spans a page boundary.

You could make this an ldp instruction

thanks for the assembler tips

yea, we just use it for the trampoline, which we put AFTER the kernel, and its size doesn't really matter that much..

I'll keep this in mind in the future and come up with a better way to deal with.

IMO it'd be nice to have some sort of comment to this effect here.
