If you can add the paragraph below, then I'll wrap up (close) the PR in GitHub.
Thanks.

UEFI boot is improved for amd64. The loader detects whether the loaded kernel
can handle the in-place staging area (non-copying mode). The default is
`copy_staging auto`. Auto-detection can be overridden, for example: with
`copy_staging enable`, the loader will unconditionally copy the staging area to
2M, regardless of kernel capabilities. Also, the code to grow the staging area
is more robust; for growth to occur, it's no longer necessary to hand-tune and
recompile the loader. _(Sponsored by the FreeBSD Foundation)_

kib@ that is, paraphrased from the final paragraph of
<https://www.freebsd.org/status/report-2021-07-2021-09/#_improved_amd64_uefi_boot>.
Please, have I preserved the essence?
In particular (original):
> … detects if the loaded kernel can handle in-place staging area …
– becomes (here):
> … detects whether the loaded kernel can handle the in-place staging area …
– correct?
