d22f5cff9c - use uint8_t instead of char for boot block blobs
- bbinfo_params:
	- replace "int littleendian" with "bbinfo_endian endian"
	- add comments
- shared_bbinfo_clearboot():
	- add callback method to shared_bbinfo_clearboot()
	- don't clear from 0..headeroffset; use a callback to do that
- add news68k and newsmips support.
  From Izumi Tsutsui <tsutsui@ceres.dti.ne.jp>, with a rework by me to
  take advantage of the new shared_bbinfo_clearboot() callback.
  (XXX: untested yet)

1bdd92ee90 user visible stuff:
- add `-B s2bno', to provide the starting block for the secondary bootstrap.
  intended for use on platforms where the blocks of the stage2 bootstrap
  are hardcoded into the stage1 bootstrap (currently: sparc, sun2)
- don't support `-b s1bno' for sparc or sun2, since the primary is always
  at a fixed location on the disk.
- if `filesystem' is a regular file, use fsync(2) instead of sync(2)

code changes:
- add hardcode_stage2(), which uses -B s2bno and the size of the
  provided secondary bootstrap (as an actual file, not as part of the
  `filesystem' argument) to provide a sequential list of blocks from s2bno,
  each block being the appropriate file system size (from
  params->fstype->blocksize)
- add blocksize and needswap run-time parameters to ib_fs
- in *_match(), set params->fstype->blocksize to the underlying block size
  (8KB for raw), and params->fstype->needswap as appropriate
- rename IB_STARTBLOCK to IB_STAGE1START, and add IB_STAGE2START
- use hardcode_stage2() to implement raw_findstage2() and IB_STAGE2BLOCK
  support for ffs_findstage2()
- improve some comments, add some prototypes, ...

80ae5fb69d implement "raw" file system type. this can be used when the primary
bootstrap is being installed at a particular block offset and the underlying
filesystem doesn't matter (e.g, alpha ustarboot in ustar floppies)

878d42b158 Add sun2 backend from Matthew Fredette.
(Implemented with "sun68k.c" as it should eventually support "sun3" as well.)

8eb8919e12 - Add code from Matt Fredette <fredette@theory.lcs.mit.edu> to implement
fstype checking, and back-end "ffs" support.
- Consistently use at least uint32_t for blocknumbers (vs. int / long / ...)
- Consistently use uintXX_t instead of u_intXX_t.
- Move various duplicated prototypes into "installboot.h"

d280442683 - support optional secondary bootstrap arg for install (unused by
existing backends, but future ones need it)
- use "bootstrap" instead of "boot block" in various messages where appropriate
- rename some members of ib_params
