all CPU specific implementations as much as possible.
AMD and Intel are now separated again, even though they are currently
equivalent besides the CPU vendor detection.

service depends on it, it doesn't make any sense to call it that early in the
game.
* The VFS now has a low memory handler for vnodes as well. If there is enough
memory left, it won't free any vnodes anymore.
* Potential crashing bug fix: some functions did not check if the FD passed
in belonged to the right type; they just assumed it had a valid vnode, but
it could have had a mount structure associated as well.

* the link were not initialized in cached_block, as its constructor were never called
(was using malloc/free instead of new/delete).

When memory gets low, the blocks on that list are also freed - but right now,
that only happens when a block is put back (not directly on demand, ie. via
a low memory handler).

memory status.
Added new B_NO_LOW_MEMORY constant for the usual case.

effect that we were linking not only against the complete glue code, but
also against libroot.so. Now we explicitly link against
crtbegin.o/crtend.o only.

kernel TLBs from being flushed on context switch.
* new arch_cpu_user_TLB_invalidate() that now does what arch_cpu_global_TLB_invalidate()
did before.
* arch_cpu_global_TLB_invalidate() will now flush all TLBs, even those from the
kernel.
* some cleanups.

* The boot loader now checks the CPU for the cpuid and rdtsc features, which we
currently both rely on.
* Removed old and no longer used stage2_priv.h header

has not yet been tested, though - I'll do this after this commit):
* Removed the arch_memory_type stuff from vm_area; since there are only 8 memory
ranges on x86, it's simply overkill. The MTRR code now remembers the area ID
and finds the MTRR that way (it could also iterate over the existing MTRRs).
* Introduced some post_modules() init functions.
* If the other x86 CPUs out there don't differ a lot, MTRR functionality might
be put back into the kernel.
* x86_write_msr() was broken, it wrote the 64 bit number with the 32 bit words
switched - it took me some time (and lots of #GPs) to figure that one out.
* Removed the macro read_ebp() and introduced a function x86_read_ebp()
(it's not really a time critical call).
* Followed the Intel docs on how to change MTRRs (symmetrically on all CPUs
with caches turned off).
* Asking for memory types will automatically change the requested length to
a power of two - note that BeOS seems to behave in the same, although that's
not really very clean.
* fixed MTRRs are ignored for now - we should make sure at least, though,
that they are identical on all CPUs (or turn them off, even though I'd
prefer the BIOS stuff to be uncacheable, which we don't enforce yet, though).

called before module_init(). Maybe it's even better to drop into the kernel
debugger.

Contains (emtpy) modules for Intel/AMD/VIA models.
Might be separated later, though, depending on how large they will get.
