after loading the kernel's text segment. The kernel will do the
same for loaded modules, so don't worry about that.

- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.
Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing.
- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.

1. Make libefi portable by removing ia64 specific code and build
it on i386 and amd64 by default to prevent regressions. These
changes include fixes and improvements over previous code to
establish or improve APIs where none existed or when the amount
of kluging was unacceptably high.
2. Increase the amount of sharing between the efi and ski loaders
to improve maintainability of the loaders and simplify making
changes to the loader-kernel handshaking in the future.
The version of the efi and ski loaders are now both changed to 1.2
as user visible improvements and changes have been made.
