The firmware on OCTEON machines usually does not provide an interface
for accessing devices, which has made it tricky to implement an OpenBSD
bootloader. To solve this device access problem, this new loader has
been built on top of a small kernel. The kernel provides all the
necessary devices drivers, while most of the usual bootloader logic
is in a userspace program in a ramdisk.
The loader program is accompanied by a special device, octboot(4).
The main purpose of this device is to implement a mechanism for
loading and launching kernels. The mechanism has been inspired by Linux'
kexec(2) system call.
The bootloader will be enabled later when it is ready for general use.

1) Replace '.elif !exists(${OBJDIR}/Makefile)' with just '.else'. espie
pointed out, that if the file existed, make wouldn't be reading this
file, so the check is superflous. Less clutter.
2) Unconditionally define the 'clean' and 'cleandir' targets, also when
obj doesn't exist. This changes the behaviour of 'make clean' to be
successful (doing nothing) without obj@ or obj/.

if srctree is not rooted at /usr/src]. As a result, stock GENERIC & RAMDISK
kernels are commited to the tree, to ensure the src tree can be "readonly"
during builds, with all writes occuring inside the obj space. config -b
options are handled by ../Makefile.inc. The canonical new way to configure
one of these kernels is:
% cd /sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP
% doas make obj
% make config
% make
% doas cp obj/bsd /bsd
The build infrastructure will use this new mechanism in a de-escalation
way using BUILDUSER.
Much help from natano and tb.
