[[boot-loader]] === 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.
