* 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.

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.

* Added kPartitionTypeEFI to the constants.

* Also moved out KMessage handling from Message.cpp to MessageAdapter.cpp

* BMailSettings::StatusWindowFrame() now returns some useful defaults.
* Minor cleanup.
* The MDR kit needs some serious overhaul before it can be part of R1.

* Added a TRACE_S3SAVAGE macro that turns on debug output - should be set conditionally
if DEBUG is defined (see DriverInterface.h), but is currently always on, as requested
by Gerald.
* Some minor style fixes.

* vm_copy_on_write_area() now does no longer overwrite the ref_count, but keeps
it's reference to the cache until it has unlocked it.
* It now also locks its reference from the start, preventing any other thread
to interfere.
* vm_cache_remove_consumer() now detects if it has to remove a foreign busy
page itself in order to preserve a mapped page.
* vm_soft_fault() now keeps a reference to the cache that owns the page to be
mapped until it has actually mapped it.
* vm_unmap_pages() removed the mappings of all pages of the area instead of only
those that are within the requested range.
* Kept (disabled) debug output for convenience.

Disabled by default, but all kernel devs are *highly* recommended to turn them on for your builds and see if it trips anything, and then fix it.

the maximum width. The latter supports unlimited maximum width. The
_BMCMenuBar_ draws fine when resized wider than its min/preferred width, but
not the complete "button" area will cause the menu to open when being pressed.

Implemented SetIndexedColors hook, although not really correct.
I don't know why the driver's 8 bit mode were disabled. They seem to
work fine. I had to enable at least 640x480x8 to be able to test
WindowScreen. There are some TODOs in the code. I'll look into them
later.

despite being talked about repeatedly, does not currently exist.
Adding this required adding some new Jam rules to deal with this shared source
directory and headers. I had some fun figuring this out. Despite writing
articles about Jam in the Haiku newsletter a few years ago I still find Jam to
be a PITA at times.
But my solution seems to work pretty well. Basically you just call the rule
UseSharedSource and pass the name of the shared source file you want to use.
This rule sets up the header directories and the right Jam variables for the
source file. You then add the source file to the source list in the Application
rule like any other source file.
I also made the authors list sent to the about window constructor null
terminated instead of passing the size of the array, as suggested by Hugo.

realized that calling it a window may not be strictly correct since it isn't a
decendent of BWindow, but just uses a BAlert. Oh well, it can be changed if
need be.
I'm also checking in the first use of it, in ShowImage. Since ShowImage can
still be compiled for R5 I've added a #ifdef around the new BAboutWindow
related code.
I'm open for suggestions for the interface for this class, well mostly the
constructor. I'm not a big fan of having to specify the number of authors.
For now I'm making the header private, but I don't think it would be a big deal
to expose it publically.

BMenuWindow. BMenuScroller now is just the scroller button, and it's a
child of BMenuWindow. This simplifies attaching/detaching the
scrollers, and it's also a bit cleaner.
The lower scroller wasn't shown anymore for some reason, and this commit also fixes this problem.
A drawing bug shows up now, though: when scrolling the menu UP, some
spurious lines are drawn over the menu. I wonder if this is an
app_server bug or what.

correctly.
* Got rid of this superfluous cookie stuff - either the VFS behaves correctly, or
we're screwed anyway.
* Made adding debugger commands optional depending on if DEBUG_COMMANDS is defined
or not.
* Minor other cleanup.

doesn't work on i965 yet.
* B_GET_DISPLAY_MODE now returns the mode actually configured in the chip instead
of the last mode set; while this isn't really necessary, it allows to check what
mode was used during startup.

libroot). It's available in the kernel through the private
get_haiku_revision() and added to the kernel syslog output.

* PowerStatus is now using this API when compiled for Haiku.
* Note, I'm not sure why yet, but running PowerStatus in the background
crashes at least my laptop after some time.
