it clear when boot_splash_set_stage() must no longer be used.
* Free the memory associated with the kernel args before starting the
init process. Unlike the original TODO stated there are quite a few
more users of the kernel args (including the boot splash screen),
hence we can't really do that earlier, unless we decide to copy the
data over to the kernel heap.

It follows the semantics of the BFS R/W lock, though, that is, if you unlock
your write lock before the read locks, the read locks effectively become
write locks, too.
* Added a mutex_transfer_lock() function that will allow you to unlock a mutex
in a different thread than the one which locked it (only matters if KDEBUG
is enabled, though).

serve, bin sizes and page size. This minimizes the amount of "large"
allocations made in heaps that don't have a bin for the allocation size
(combining multiple pages). This is desirable as such large allocations
are generally pretty inefficient, and also because it separates larger from
smaller allocations better, making the chance of a heap becoming empty higher.
For now there are three heap classes "small", "large" and "huge", with a
predefined set of bin sizes for each. This might need some finetuning later on.
Reduce the grow size to 4MB though as the allocations should now be spread
across heap classes which each grow on their own.

the newly found disk systems.
* _ScanPartition() now allows to restrict the disk systems to a predefined set.
* _ScanPartition() now even scans partitions that already have a disk system
assigned; if a better one is found, the existing one is replaced. It will
ignore mounted or partitions with children, though.
* KPartition now also stores the priority of the disk system assigned to it.

per cache.
* Changed the strategy vm_cache_acquire_page_cache_ref() uses to ensure
that the cache isn't deleted while trying to get a reference. Instead
of the global cache pages hash table lock, it holds the global cache
list lock now. We acquire + release this lock in delete_cache() after
removing all pages and just before deleting the object.
* Some small optimizations using the property that the cache's pages are
ordered, now (vm_cache_resize(), vm_page_write_modified_page_range(),
vm_page_schedule_write_page_range()).
* Replaced some code counting a cache's pages by simply using
vm_cache::page_count.

a flattened argument/environment buffer now. This simplifies the work
for the kernel a bit, since it can just copy the buffer and check
whether it looks OK instead of messing around with individual strings.
The runtime loader also gets a flattened array.
* Set the maximum size of the arguments/environment buffer to 128 KB.
When more arguments are passed, we fail with a proper error code
(instead of just truncating the arguments as before).
* On exec*() the first argument was silently replaced by the given path
name, which is not correct.

waiting for a heap grow.
* Use that nogrow version in the VM code to avoid a deadlock with the address
space lock when a grow operation would try to create an area while a malloc
happened from such a function in the VM.
* When waiting for a grow to happen, notify the waiting thread from the grower
also if it failed to allocate a new heap. Otherwise a thread would just sit
there and wait until another thread requested growing too and that one
succeeded (or just forever in the worst case).
* Make the dedicated grow heap growable too. If the current grow heaps run low
on memory it will instruct the grower to allocate a new grow heap. This
reduces the likelyhood of running out of memory with no way to grow to a
minimum. As the growing is done asynchronously it is still possible to
happen, but it is highly unlikely as the grow heap is solely used to
allocate memory in the process of creating new heap areas and it will even
try using normal public memory if the dedicated memory has run out.
* Reduced the dedicated grow heap from 2 to 1MB. As it can now grow itself, it
doesn't need to last so long.
* Extract heap creation into it's own function that does area creation and heap
attach and use this function for growing normal and grow heaps.

and remove the then unneeded mutex_init() for them.
* Remove the workaround for allowing uninitialized mutexes on kernel startup.
As they are all initialized statically through the MUTEX_INITIALIZER() now
this is not needed anymore.
* An uninitialized mutex will now cause a panic when used to find possibly
remaining cases.
* Remove now unnecessary driver_settings_init_post_sem() function.

keymap there too.
* Add a config header where one can select what KDL keymap should be used
(currently only 'us' and 'sg' are available though).
* Provide a third keymap that is used when the alt modifier is used (the swiss
german keymap is pretty useless without alt as all the useful keys like
backslash and curly braces use alt).
Our KDL is so powerful and nice to use, the only thing that bothered me was
that I always had to think about where some of the special keys are located in
the US keymap. So this simple compile-time keymap switching provided to be
helpful for me and might be for others too. Keymaps for other layouts obviously
have to be written before this becomes really useful.

* The VESA driver now supports gettings the EDID information as well; this
is necessary now, since the app_server no longer takes over the mode the
boot loader had chosen.

the kernel part again.

B_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_CONTENTION is defined to 1. It typedefs spinlock to a
structure (thus breaking BeOS binary compatibility), containing a
counter which is incremented whenever a thread has to wait for the
spinlock.
* Added macros for spinlock initialization and access and changed
code using spinlocks accordingly. This breaks compilation for BeOS --
the macros should be defined in the respective compatibility wrappers.
* Added generic syscall to get the spinlock counters for the thread and
the team spinlocks.

pipes in the shell, though the semantics is a little different: The
second command is invoked whenever the first command has written a
complete line. The line is passed as last argument to the second
command. The new command flag B_KDEBUG_PIPE_FINAL_RERUN causes the
second command to be invoked again (with NULL argument) after the
first command is done.
* Added kprintf_unfiltered() and kputs_unfiltered() which bypass the
pipe mechanism and directly print to the bluescreen/serial output.
* Moved most commands from debug.cpp to the new
debug_builtin_commands.cpp.
* B_KDEBUG_DONT_PARSE_ARGUMENTS commands don't get an argument anymore,
if it would consist of white space only.
* Added new debugger command return value B_KDEBUG_ERROR, which
indicates that executing the command failed. This return code will
abort a complete pipe.
* Since debugger commands can nest (i.e. one command can invoke another
one) the setjmp()/longjmp() mechanism to restore the stack after a
page fault in a command needs more than one jump buffer.
* Added abort_debugger_command(), which longjmp()s out of the currently
executed command. This will also abort the current pipe.
* When pagination is enabled pressing "a" will abort the running command
(as opposed to "q" which only disables the blue screen output, but
lets the command continue).
* Added debugger commands:
- "grep" which can be used to filter output by pattern. Removed the
"filter" command and the underlying mechanism that did that before.
- "head" which prints only the first lines of output of another
command.
- "wc" counts lines, words, and characters of another command's
output.

support from it.
* Removed fast_log module.
* There are a couple of (temporary) regressions, though:
- legacy SATA and ISA IDE support is disabled, the drivers haven't been
ported yet.
- The not yet used ATA bus manager hasn't been ported yet, either.
- AHCI changes have not been tested.
- the listdev command has been removed from the build (as it currently
doesn't work anymore).
- device manager generated IDs currently are not freed anymore when a device
node is removed.
- generic drivers can't yet use the new driver architecture.
- simple busses that do not support device types won't work yet.
- legacy driver publishing/unpublishing (ie. what USB needs) has not been
tested, and may be broken.
