  r341071:
  Restore the ability to override the disk unit/partition at the boot: prompt
  in gptboot.
  
  When arch-independent geli support was added, a new static 'gdsk' struct
  was added, but there was still a static 'dsk' struct, and when you typed
  in an alternate disk/partition, the string was parsed into that struct,
  which was then never used for anything.  Now the string gets parsed into
  gdsk.dsk, the struct that's actually used.
  
  r341160:
  Add comments describing the bootargs handoff between loader(8) and gptboot
  or zfsboot, when loader(8) is the BTX loader.  No functional changes.

+ * This struct describes the contents of the stack on entry to btxldr.S.  This
+ * is the data that follows the return address, so it begins at 4(%esp).  On
+ * the sending side, this data is passed as individual args to __exec().  On the
+ * receiving side, code in btxldr.S copies the data from the entry stack to a
+ * known fixed location in the new address space.  Then, btxcsu.S sets the
+ * global variable __args to point to that known fixed location before calling
+ * main(), which casts __args to a struct bootargs pointer to access the data.
+ * The btxldr.S code is aware of KARGS_FLAGS_EXTARG, and if it's set, the extra
+ * args data is copied along with the other bootargs from the entry stack to the
+ * fixed location in the new address space.
+ *
+ * The bootinfo field is actually a pointer to a bootinfo struct that has been
+ * converted to uint32_t using VTOP().  On the receiving side it must be
+ * converted back to a pointer using PTOV().  Code in btxldr.S is aware of this
+ * field and if it's non-NULL it copies the data it points to into another known
+ * fixed location, and adjusts the bootinfo field to point to that new location.
