kernel: get rid of /boot/boot parametrization
there is no use for "bootdisk" variable parametrization
of /boot/boot and no point for the boot section with its
boot methods in the kernel configuration anymore. so
mkboot and boot$CONF.out are gone.
move the rules for bootfs.paq creation in 9/boot/bootmkfile.
location of bootfs.proto is now in 9/boot/bootfs.proto.
our /boot/boot target is now just "boot".

acme: fix buffer overrun in xfidutfread() and xfidruneread(), cleanup
the utf8 buffers b1 where allocated from fbufalloc() which gives
us BUFSIZE bytes, but Xfid->count can be bigger than that. so just
emalloc() the requested number of bytes.
when converting from Runes to utf-8, we have to account for the
terminating '\0' byte snprint() places, so fix the maxrune number
calculation instead of using BUFSIZE+1 as buffer size.
A buffer can be overflowed in the init function of kbmap.c by using a filename of more than 112 characters.
sample output:
% cd /sys/lib/kbmap
% touch aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
% kbmap
kbmap 1974: suicide: sys: trap: fault write addr=0xa6a96510 pc=0x000011df
offending code is most likely the call to sprint in the init function of /sys/src/cmd/kbmap.c,
which in this case writes /sys/lib/kbmap/$file to a 128-bit buffer.
I'm willing to submit a patch for this myself along with a few minor improvements/fixes to kbmap
if I can figure out the nuances of doing so.

bootrc: do not pass authserver with -a flag to factotum, handle multiple secstore addresses
factotum is started in bootrc before the network is setup
(as we need it to negotiate wpa key for wifi). once, the network
is setup, the bootstrap authservers are passed in /net/ndb,
which factotum reads when doing bootstrap authdial. it does
this only when no authserver was specified earlier! but we
want net.rc to select the proper bootstrap authserver...
the $secstore variable takes precedence over $auth. as
there is no connection server yet, we have to select the set
of servers here and pass them to secstore with -s flag.
note that this will work if multiple addresses where
specified.

- properly negotiate Fctrlrx feature bit for promisc and multicast.
- allow setting mac address with ea= option from plan9.ini
- dont read the isr register from ifstats() as it has the side effect of reseting isr status
- embedd the Vqueue array in the Ctlr structure avoiding indirection

- only read network status register if the feature has been negotiated

pc, pc64: more conservative pcirouting
when we hit a conflict where the pci INTL register gives us
a different irq than we get from southbridge irq router, dont
just change the router setting to the bios assigned irq (that
was previously known as the BIOS workarround), but assume the
southbridge setting to be valid and change the pci INTL register
on the device to it.
only when the router link doesnt seem to be configured or
disabled, then program the router to the irq that bios asisgned
in the INTL register.
the reason is that changing the router setting changes the
irq routing for *all* devices on the same link and changing
it breaks previously checked and valid interrupt routings.
(so happend with virtualbox where the last device on the bus
is some powermanagement device that has wrong INTL setting
and changing the routing breaks the ethernet interrupts)
this change shouldnt affect modern machines which use ioapic
and mp tables or acpi for pci interrupt routing.

pc64: get rid of fixed 8MB INIMAP and dynamically map KZERO-end in l.s
traditionally, the pc kernel mapped the first 8MB of physical
address space. when the kernel size grows beyond that memory mapping,
it will crash on boot and theres no checking in the build process

with the pc64 kernel, it is not hard to always map the whole
kernel memory image from KZERO to end[], so that the kernel will
always fit into the initial mapping.
