support file creation.
* Extended open() and open_from() to support O_CREAT to create files.
open_from() has got an optional "permissions" parameter for that purpose.
* Fixed errno. It would crash when being used. Also changed the POSIX functions
to return their error code via errno as expected.
* Added writev().
* FAT file system:
- Added support for reading long file names.
- Added support for creating files (8.3 name only) and writing to them.
- Enabled scanning partitions with it.
* Boot loader menu:
- Enabled the "Reboot" menu item unconditionally.
- Added "Save syslog from previous session" menu item to the debug menu.
Currently saving the syslog to FAT32 volumes is supported.

received, but if the signal was in the thread's signal block mask, it would
not be handled. Added thread::sig_temp_enabled, an additional mask of not
blocked signals, which is set by sigsuspend() and evaluated and reset by
handle_signals(). Fixes#5567.

* The kernel syslog ring buffer is no longer emptied by the syslog sender
thread. Instead we only drop the oldest data from the buffer when we're
writing to it and there's not enough free space in it.
Advantages: We drop old data rather than the most recent data when the buffer
is full. The "syslog" KDL command has more data available now. So the odds
are that kernel syslog messages not written to disk yet are at least still
in the kernel buffer.
* Changed dprintf_no_syslog() semantics: Now it writes to the syslog, but
doesn't notify the syslog sender thread.
boot loader:
* Added the ring_buffer implementation and a dummy user_memcpy().
* bios_x86: Moved the syslog stuff from serial.{cpp,h} to debug.{cpp.h}.
* Moved the debug options from the "Select safe mode options" menu to a new
"Select debug options" menu.
* Added option "Enable debug syslog" to the new menu (ATM available on x86
only). It allocates a 1 MB in-memory buffer for the syslog for this session
in such a way that it can be accessed by the boot loader after a reset.
* Added item "Display syslog from previous session" to the new menu, doing
what its name suggests.

without changing its state.

BLOCK_CACHE_DEBUG_CHANGED feature had been enabled.

the maximum magazine count wasn't reached yet. With object_depot_store() not
resetting its local variable, a magazine could thus be emptied and freed
twice. Fixes#5489 and #5497.

condition would never be false this way.

from inserting a clean page, if a fault happens. VMNullCaches are used by the
slab's memory manager -- all page faults in slab areas are serious bugs and
we want to panic() immediately.

providing incorrect memory types. It doesn't cost us anything, since the
kernel reserves all but the unusable range later anyway. Should fix#1925.

(the time of the last access), as what we really want is a frequency/last
access time scoring, and accessed alone is useless for that.
* put_cached_block() no longer frees any unused blocks.
* The low memory handler will now only lock the cache if there is something
to do. Also, it did not take address space warnings into account.
* Even when memory is critical, we don't free all unused blocks anymore - if
the number of blocks we free now (10000) is not sufficient to get out of the
critical condition, chances are good that we will be called again :-)
* block_notifier_and_writer() now tries to make sure that the total block cache
memory consumption grows not much larger than half of the available RAM.
* This should all help to limit the block cache usage a bit better. Hopefully,
a checkfs run will no longer run out of memory here (couldn't test yet).

* Made the page table allocation more flexible. Got rid of sMaxVirtualAddress
and added new virtual_end address to the architecture specific kernel args.
* Increased the virtual space we reserve for the kernel to 16 MB. That
should suffice for quite a while. The previous 2 MB were too tight when
building the kernel with debug info.
* mmu_init(): The way we were translating the BIOS' extended memory map to
our physical ranges arrays was broken. Small gaps between usable memory
ranges would be ignored and instead marked allocated. This worked fine for
the boot loader and during the early kernel initialization, but after the
VM has been fully set up it frees all physical ranges that have not been
claimed otherwise. So those ranges could be entered into the free pages
list and would be used later. This could possibly cause all kinds of weird
problems, probably including ACPI issues. Now we add only the actually
usable ranges to our list.
Kernel:
* vm_page_init(): The pages of the ranges between the usable physical memory
ranges are now marked PAGE_STATE_UNUSED, the allocated ranges
PAGE_STATE_WIRED.
* unmap_and_free_physical_pages(): Don't free pages marked as unused.

object_cache_alloc(): the ObjectCache::total_objects count was increased in
ObjectCache::InitSlab(), but the slab was really only added at a later point
between the cache could be unlocked.
* If a second object_cache_reserve_internal() managed to be called while the
lock was unlocked, it would see that there has to be space available, and
will then return -- however, since the other thread could not yet place the
slab into the cache, object_cache_alloc() cannot find it.

remove the block from an unlocked cache and the cache->lock would be unlocked
twice when the calling function unlocked. It panics in that case anyway, but
this should make it continuable and is more correct.

it is fully initialized.
* arch_vm_translation_map_is_kernel_page_accessible(): Check whether
sPhysicalPageMapper has already been initialized.
If a panic() during or before the initialization of the physical page mapper
occurred, we no longer access a partially initialized object or a NULL pointer.
This should fix the triple fault part of #1925.
