Old PowerMac G5 (powerpc64) Giant lock usage: a list of warnings shown by dmesg -a (openfirm, kdb, powermac_nvram)

[Mark Millard]

The list is shorter than it was for an old PowerMac G4
(32-bit powerpc).

For a G5 powerpc64 example running head -r356187 (so
ELFv2):

# dmesg -a | grep Giant
WARNING: Device "openfirm" is Giant locked and may be deleted before FreeBSD 13.0.
WARNING: Device "kbd" is Giant locked and may be deleted before FreeBSD 13.0.
WARNING: Device "powermac_nvram" is Giant locked and may be deleted before FreeBSD 13.0.
