 === Boot Loader Changes
 
+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.

 `boot1` and `loader` have been fixed on powerpc64le.
