URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/326857

Log:
  Turn loader GELI support in the boot loaders off by default as a
  temporary workaround. This fixes zfs booting generally, but breaks all
  GELI booting by default. Add note to UPDATING to this effect. When the
  GELI issues are resolved, this will be reverted.
