re: vt_efifb: what I did was removed the duplicate entry, since it was already 
in the x86 one: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sys/x86/conf/NOTES#n332 .

Sure — although the correct fix would be to not build the driver at all on 
i386, since it doesn’t support 32-bit CPUs. Apple sold very few i386-based 
Intel chips before they transitioned to amd64-only ones (it was only a matter 
of 8-9 months IIRC) and asmc(4) doesn’t support any of the 32-bit chips (I 
checked).
Cheers,
