I can confirm reducing EFI_STAGING_SIZE back to 64 and building "cdrom" 
image successfully boots on ESXi 7, it does not with latest snapshot. 
More so, looks like 
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=355132 should 
take care, in a dynamic way, of the original problem increasing 
EFI_STAGING_SIZE was supposed to fix?
