So far I privilegied working on a fix to the boot problem that was
reported, rather than spending time on a revert. This was not a futile
effort, since at this point we have a fix that we agree on. My idea was
to commit it and then to address the other points you raised, but if
you cannot stand that, feel free to do the revert on your own.

There is also this problem that seems worth spending time to me:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2020/01/02/msg025911.html

I hit this bug 100% reliabily with qemu/EFI, even with the multiboot
stuff removed, and it seems to match what Masanobu Saitoh reported. 
I suspect the multiboot changes just undercovered it.
