If you can add the paragraph below, then I'll wrap up (close) the PR in Git=
Hub.
Thanks.=20

UEFI boot is improved for amd64. The loader detects whether the loaded kern=
el
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 are=
a to
2M, regardless of kernel capabilities. Also, the code to grow the staging a=
rea
is more robust; for growth to occur, it's no longer necessary to hand-tune =
and
recompile the loader. _(Sponsored by the FreeBSD Foundation)_

kib@ that is, paraphrased from the final paragraph of
<https://www.freebsd.org/status/report-2021-07-2021-09/#_improved_amd64_uef=
i_boot>.
Please, have I preserved the essence?

In particular (original):

> =E2=80=A6 detects if the loaded kernel can handle in-place staging area =
=E2=80=A6

=E2=80=93 becomes (here):

> =E2=80=A6 detects whether the loaded kernel can handle the in-place stagi=
ng area =E2=80=A6

=E2=80=93 correct?
