the default setting for the "debug syslog" feature (can still be overridden
in the boot loader). Per default enabled for kdebug level >= 1.

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.

contribute significantly to the usable memory, but possibly make the MTRR
setup impossible. Might improve #5550.

* 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.

gKernelArgs.physical_allocated_range array. This way it is always up to date
and we don't need to fix it in mmu_init_for_kernel().

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

* 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.

Entering the boot loader menu has changed/simplified while reducing the boot time by .75 seconds.
Now it is enough to hold one of shift/Esc/F8/F12/Space. Thanks!
I've also updated the boot loader documentation to reflect the change, but I only mentioned holding shift.
I know that changing the documention directly is not preferred anymore, but I wanted to make sure this
patch is complete.

allocate all pages the given range intersects with. When not page aligned
it could fail to allocate the last page.
* mmu_free():
- Adjusted semantics to be compatible with mmu_map_physical_memory().
- The validity check was broken, because page number and addresses were
mixed, and because KERNEL_BASE + kMaxKernelSize doesn't mark the end of
the allocated virtual ranges.
- The final check against sNextVirtualAddress was broken.

PPC kernel booting a little further.

* The kernel's _start entry function expects now a second argument, the
current CPU index. The PPC boot loader didn't initialize GPR4, passing
its second argument, the kernel entry address, as CPU index, causing
smp_cpu_rendezvous() to loop forever. This fix gets the PPC boot to a
kernel debug prompt. The CPU index is currently fixed to 0.
Thanks a lot!

* Choosing Reboot from the menu will now reboot the system instead of
returning to the OpenFirmware prompt. Places, where returning to the
prompt was desirable have been adapted to maintain their current behavior.

the function shall nevertheless return the length of the string that would
be written, if the buffer were large enough.
Added a touch of C++ while doing that. :-)
* Fixed the instances in boot loader, kernel, and kernel modules where the
wrong semantics were expected. The majority of uses actually.
