Merge binutils 2.17.50 to head. This brings a number of improvements to
x86 CPU support, better support for powerpc64, some new directives, and
many other things. Bump __FreeBSD_version, and add a note to UPDATING.

Thanks to the many people that have helped to test this.

Align the .ctors section correctly.

This fixes the 75% probable panic when using basic block profiling.

Commit Bosko's patch to clean up the PSE/PG_G initialization to and
avoid problems with some Pentium 4 cpus and some older PPro/Pentium2
cpus. There are several problems, some documented in Intel errata.
This patch:
1) moves the kernel to the second page in the PSE case. There is an
errata that says that you Must Not point a 4MB page at physical
address zero on older cpus. We avoided bugs here due to sheer luck.
2) sets up PSE page tables right from the start in locore, rather than
trying to switch from 4K to 4M (or 2M) pages part way through the boot
sequence at the same time that we're messing with PG_G.

For some reason, the pmap work over the last 18 months seems to tickle
the problems, and the PAE infrastructure changes disturb the cpu
bugs even more.

A couple of people have reported a problem with APM bios calls during
boot. I'll work with people to get this resolved.

Add two symbols start_ctors and stop_ctors to allow us to find the
.ctors section so we can call the constructors.

Use the new freebsd output format from Binutils 2.13.1.

Remove hard coded magic load address. Now to change the load address,
we just have to change the pmap.h constants and ld will automatically
adapt based on the "kernbase" symbol.

Add $FreeBSD$
Make the alpha linker script more like the i386 version - delete the
/usr/local and egcs directories

Remove a rather bogus search path reference..

Increased kernel virtual address space to 1GB. NOTE: You MUST have fixed
bootblocks in order to boot the kernel after this! Also note that this
change breaks BSDI BSD/OS compatibility.
Also increased default NKPT to 17 so that FreeBSD can boot on machines
with >=2GB of RAM. Booting on machines with exactly 4GB requires other
patches, not included.

Make the ELF kernel build produce a dynamic executable (!). This enables
the in-kernel linker to access the _DYNAMIC data for doing loadable elf
modules. The alpha kernel is already done this way, I've borrowed some of
the hacks from there.

This is primarily aimed at the 3-stage boot process which is intended to
be able to do pre-loading of kernel modules.

Note that the entry point isn't 0xf0100000 any more, it'll be a little
further on - but this value is stored in the headers. I don't think this
will be a problem, but I'm sure somebody will tell me if it is. :-)

I'm not sure if btxboot is going to like this, it doesn't do proper ELF
header checking and assumes that there are exactly two program header
entries and that they are both PT_LOAD entries - a bad assumption.
