    sys/dev/uart         uart_cpu_sparc64.c 
  Log:
  - Change the code that determines whether to use a serial console and
    which serial device to use in that case respectively to not rely on
    the OFW names of the input/output and stdin/stdout devices. Instead
    check whether input and output refers to the same device and is of
    type serial (uart(4) was already doing this) and for the fallback
    to a serial console in case a keyboard is the selected input device
    but unplugged do the same for stdin and stdout in case the input
    device is nonexistent (PS/2 and USB keyboards) or has a 'keyboard'
    property (RS232 keyboards). Additionally also check whether the OFW
    did a fallback to a serial console in the same way in case the
    output device is nonexistent. While at it save on some variables
    and for sys/boot/sparc64/loader/metadata.c move the code in question
    to a new function md_bootserial() so it can be kept in sync with
    uart_cpu_getdev_console() more easily.
    This fixes selecting a serial console and the appropriate device
    when using a device path for the 'input-device' and 'output-device'
    OFW environment variables instead of an alias for the serial device
    to use or when using a screen alias that additionally denotes a
    video mode (like e.g. 'screen:r1024x768x60') but no keyboard is
    plugged in (amongst others). It also makes the code select a serial
    console in case the OFW did the same due to a misconfiguration like
    both 'input-device' and 'output-device' set to 'keyboard' or to a
    nonexisting device (whether the OFW does a fallback to a serial
    console in case of a misconfiguration or one ends up with just no
    console at all highly depends on the OBP version however).
  - Reduce the size of buffers that only ever need to hold the string
    'serial' accordingly. Double the size of buffers that may need to
    hold a device path as e.g. '/pci at 8,700000/ebus at 5/serial at 1,400000:a'
    exceeds 32 chars.
  - Remove the package handle of the '/options' node from the argument
    list of uart_cpu_getdev_dbgport() as it's unused there and future
    use is also unlikely.
