Thanks.  I used to work around this using -Dms_abi=.

This is still broken.  ms_abi is in the application namespace.  Thus
my hack of defining it to nothing is valid, and so is defining it to
'syntax error', but the latter shows the brokenness of EFIABI_ATTR.

This was more broken when it was outside of _KERNEL.

This bug is not very common.  There seem to be no instances of it in
<sys> (only sys/cdefs.h uses __attribute__(()), and it seems to use
underscores for all the attributes).  Grepping sys/include/*.h for
attribute shows the following bugs:

X amd64/include/efi.h:#define	EFIABI_ATTR	__attribute__((ms_abi))
X i386/include/efi.h:#define	EFIABI_ATTR /* __attribute__((ms_abi)) */ /* clang fails with this */
X ofed/include/rdma/ib_user_mad.h:typedef unsigned long __attribute__((aligned(4))) packed_ulong;
X ofed/include/rdma/ib_smi.h:} __attribute__ ((packed));
X ofed/include/rdma/ib_mad.h:} __attribute__ ((packed));
X ofed/include/rdma/ib_mad.h:} __attribute__ ((packed));

The commented-out ms_abi was only a style bug.  Now it is a larger style
bug -- it is different and worse than amd64.

All uses of the packed attribute are bugs since it changes the ABI for
compilers that don't use it.  ofed has much larger bugs for it:
- it hard-codes __attribute__ instead of using __packed from cdefs.h
- it mis-hard-codes __attribute__ using the application namespace
- it uses gnu style (space before parentheses).  Perhaps ofed is supposed
   to use linux style instead of gnu style, but even linux (2.6.10 include
   directory) uses no spaces after __attribute__ more than half the time
   (it has a measly 420 instances with spaces and 538 without.  FreeBSD
   has a whole 30 instances of __attribute__ in cdefs.h and most of the
   instances not in there are bugs).

Grepping sys/*/* for attribute shows the following bugs:

X bsm/audit.h:typedef	u_int64_t	au_asflgs_t __attribute__ ((aligned (8)));
X libkern/explicit_bzero.c:__attribute__((weak)) void __explicit_bzero_hook(void *, size_t);
X libkern/explicit_bzero.c:__attribute__((weak)) void
X net/ieee8023ad_lacp.c:		    __attribute__((__format__(__printf__, 2, 3)));
X net/netmap.h:	uint8_t	__attribute__((__aligned__(NM_CACHE_ALIGN))) sem[128];
X net/netmap_user.h:	static void *__xxzt[] __attribute__ ((unused))  =
X netinet/sctp.h:#define SCTP_PACKED __attribute__((packed))
X netinet/sctp_header.h:#define SCTP_PACKED __attribute__((packed))
X netinet/sctp_input.c:__attribute__((noinline))
X netinet/sctp_input.c:__attribute__((noinline))
X netinet/sctp_os_bsd.h:#define SCTP_UNUSED __attribute__((unused))
X opencrypto/gfmult.h:#define	__aligned(x)    __attribute__((__aligned__(x)))
X xen/blkif.h:	uint64_t       __attribute__((__aligned__(8))) id;
X xen/blkif.h:	uint64_t       __attribute__((__aligned__(8))) id;
X xen/xen_intr.h:	__attribute__((format(printf, 2, 3)));

Almost all can be fixed by using the FreeBSD wrapper in cdefs.h.  I think
ms_abi is MD so it doesn't belong there, but almost everything else does.
