New Revision: 233941
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/233941

Log:
  retrofit Safe Mode loader menu item actions
  
  The menu item is now made completely independent with the ACPI item - most
  modern systems seem to require ACPI and become even more "unsafe"
  without it.
  Safe Mode no longer disables APIC for the same reason.
  kbdmux is not disabled as this feature has proven itself stable.
  
  New actions:
  - SMP is disabled in the Safe Mode now
  - eventtimers are forced to periodic mode (some real and virtual systems
    seem to have problems otherwise)
  - geom extra vigorous integrity checking is disabled, this is to
    facilitate migration from previous versions
  
  Possible short term to do:
  - make SMP switch a separate menu item
  - restore APIC switch as a separate menu item
  
  Longer term to do:
  - turn various tweaks into separate menu items in a Safe Mode sub-menu
  
  Please consider adding a safety tweak to Safe Mode when introducing
  new major features or changes that may cause instabilities.
  
  Discussed with:       jhb, scottl, Devin Teske
  MFC after:    3 weeks (stable/9 only)
