* The documented the notify_*() functions - only notify_listener() was deprecated
among them.
* Replaced spaces with tabs - there is no reason to deviate from the standard we're
using everywhere else.
* Completed the docs here and there.

* Images preloaded by the boot loader had to be modules to be of any use
to the kernel. Extended the mechanism so that any images not accepted
by the module code would later be tried to be added as drivers by the
devfs. This is a little hacky ATM, since the devfs manages the drivers
using a hash map keyed by the drivers inode ID, which those drivers
obviously don't have.
* The devfs emulates read_pages() using read(), if the device driver
doesn't implement the former (all old-style drivers), thus making it
possible to BFS, which uses the file cache which in turn requires
read_pages(), on the device. write_pages() emulation is still missing.
* Replaced the kernel_args::boot_disk structure by a KMessage, which can
more flexibly be extended and deals more gracefully with
arbitrarily-size data. The disk_identifier structure still exists,
though. It is added as message field in cases where needed (non net
boot). Moved the boot_drive_number field of the bios_ia32 platform
specific args into the message.
* Made the stage 1 PXE boot loader superfluous. Moved the relevant
initialization code into the stage 2 loader, which can now be loaded
directly via PXE.
* The PXE boot loader does now download a boot tgz archive via TFTP. It
does no longer use the RemoteDisk protocol (it could actually be
removed from the boot loader). It also parses the DHCP options in the
DHCPACK packet provided by PXE and extracts the root path to be
mounted by the kernel.
* Reorganized the boot volume search in the kernel (vfs_boot.cpp) and
added support for network boot. In this case the net stack is
initialized and the network interface the boot loader used is brought
up and configured. Since NBD and RemoteDisk are our only options for
net boot (and those aren't really configurable dynamically) ATM, the
the boot device is found automatically by the disk device manager.
Booting via PXE does work to some degree now. The most grievous problem
is that loading certain drivers or kernel modules (or related activity)
causes a reboot (likely a triple fault, though one wonders where our
double fault handler is on vacation). Namely the keyboard and mouse input
server add-ons need to be deactivated as well as the media server.
A smaller problem is the net server, which apparently tries to
(re-)configure the network interface we're using to boot, which
obviously doesn't work out that well. So, if all this stuff is disabled
Haiku does fully boot, when using the RemoteDisk protocol (not being
able to use keyboard or mouse doesn't make this a particular fascinating
experience, though ;-)). I had no luck with NBD -- it seemed to have
protocol problems with the servers I tried.

they have been mapped. The previous method relied on their physical
pages living in the identity mapped region, which they wouldn't, when
the boot loader allocated enough memory before.

32 MB the kernel's VM initialization code would run into trouble.
Accessing freshly mapped memory in the generic page mapper would
result in a page fault. To be investigated.
* Apparently in the boot loader the file systems are responsible for
resolving symbolic links (instead of the VFS). We do that now.

with the same size as the class is defined.
* The SetTo() methods do now accept an unspecified (negative) bufferSize
in case of being told to initialize from the given buffer.
* Added handy Get*() methods returning a field element value or a
supplied default value, if the field element doesn't exist.
* Added also handy Set*() methods setting the value of first element of
a field, i.e. adding it, if it didn't exist before, otherwise
replacing the old value. Only for fixed size types.
* Moved _FindType() inline template method into the header.
* Made the source file fit for use in the boot loader. If the macro
KMESSAGE_CONTAINER_ONLY is defined, the message sending/receiving part
is omitted.

generates a C source file defining an array variable containing the file's
data. DataFileToSourceFile is the respective jam rule.
The idea is to directly built the boot archive into the boot loader for
network booting (and thus avoiding to download it from somewhere). In
case of PXE this doesn't work, though, due to restrictions to the size
of the NBP. Maybe Open Firmware is less restrictive.

* On these targets, we must load ACPI's modules dependencies ourself!
* Only the main B_ACPI_MODULE_NAME will work on non-Haiku targets, as
the (work-in-progress?) extra ACPI modules (ACPI_ROOT_MODULE_NAME, ACPI_NS_DUMP_MODULE_NAME,
and ACPI_DEVICE_MODULE_NAME) needs Haiku's Device Manager.
* "cat /dev/power/namespace" was successfully tested on a BeOS R5+Bone system.
* My P5W DH Deluxe-based system have a huge ACPI namespace ;-)
* A graphical ACPI Namespace Viewer will be welcomed (Hint)

work on arbitrary "containers". The image rules are just
specializations.
* Added rules, a definition file (build/jam/NetBootArchive), and a shell
script for creating a gzipped tar archive containing kernel and modules
required for network booting (the contents may need some fine-tuning).
ATM it can be built via the haiku-netboot-archive pseudo target. It is
generated in the output directory (e.g. "generated").

* Prepared for other uses than just boot floppies (/CDs). We first try to
inflate the contents of the given device at offset 0 before using the
floppy disk offset. This will make it easy to mount tgz files loaded via
network or built into the boot loader itself.
