* Introduced flag "invoke_scheduler" in the per CPU structure. It is
evaluated in hardware_interrupt() (x86 only ATM).
* Introduced SMP_MSG_RESCHEDULE_IF_IDLE message, which enters the
scheduler when the CPU currently runs an idle thread.
* Don't do dprintf() "CPU x halted!" when handling a SMP_MSG_CPU_HALT
ICI message. It uses nested spinlocks and could thus potentially
deadlock itself (acquire_spinlock() processes ICI messages, so it
could already hold one of the locks). This is a pretty likely scenario
on machines with more than two CPUs, but is also possible when the
panic()ing thread holds the threads spinlock. Probably fixes#2572.
* Reworked the way the kernel debugger is entered and added a "cpu"
command that allows switching the CPU once in KDL. It is thus possible
to get a stack trace of the thread not on the panic()ing CPU.
* When a thread is added to the run queue, we do now check, if another
CPU is idle and ask it to reschedule, if it is. Before this change, the
CPU was continuing to idle until the quantum of the idle thread
expired. Speeds up the libbe.so build about 8% on my machine (haven't
tested the full Haiku image build yet).
* When spinlock debugging is enabled (DEBUG_SPINLOCKS) we also record
the spinlock acquirer on non-smp machines. Added "spinlock" debugger
command to get the info.
* Added debugger commands "ici" and "ici_message", printing info on
pending ICI message respectively on a given one.
* Process not only a single ICI message in acquire_spinlock() and other
places, but all pending ones.
* Also process ICI messages when waiting for a free one -- avoids a
potential deadlock.
* Mask out non-existing CPUs in send_multicast_ici(). panic() instead of
just returning when there's no target CPU left.

the new cpuid stuff was apparently exacerbating an existing problem where various bits of low level
cpu code (specifically get_current_cpu) weren't really initialized before being used. Changed the
order to set up a fake set of threads to point each cpu at really early in boot to make sure that at
all points in code it can get the current 'thread' and thus the current cpu.
A probably better solution would be to have dr3 point to the current cpu which would then point to the
current thread, but that has a race condition that would require an int disable, etc.

at boot, per cpu, detect the cpu, pull down all the relevant cpuid bits and
save them into the per-cpu structure. Changed most of the code scattered here
and there that reads the cpuid to use a new api, x86_check_feature, which looks
at the saved bits.
Also changed the system_info stuff to read from these bits.
While i was at it, refreshed all the bits to be current.

time of the idle thread as a measure, we now compute the CPU activity on
each thread switch - the time the CPU worked is the total of user and kernel
time a thread spent during its quantum.
Unlike before, this mechanism works correctly on SMP machines. I hope this
works as expected :)

* Added syscalls _kern_set_cpu_enabled() and _kern_cpu_enabled().
* scheduler.c::sRunQueue::tail was not maintained at all; changed sRunQueue to
be a simple thread pointer instead of a struct thread_queue.
* Turns out we're monitoring CPU activity incorrectly when we've got more
than one CPU.
* Renamed the global CPU array from "cpu" to gCPU.

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).

Extracted scheduler_init() from start_scheduler() (which is now called scheduler_start()).
Moved scheduler related function prototypes from thread.h to the new scheduler.h.
Cleanup.

is perfectly okay on x86 anyway, but should be moved into the arch stuff).

and why they are called.
Introduced a cpu_init_post_vm() that will now call arch_init_post_vm() instead
of letting main() doing it.
Fixed some return types (mostly from int to status_t).

some broken C++ export definitions, added missing licenses etc.
