la57 kernel support is required. we simply add a 5th level and enable the cr4
feature. the safemode option "256tb_memory_limit" is named after the 4gb one,
but the current support is limited to 512GB as before (this can be later extended).

SMAP will generated page faults when the kernel tries to access user pages unless overriden.
If SMAP is enabled, the override instructions are written where needed in memory with
binary "altcodepatches".
Support is enabled by default, might be disabled per safemode setting.

* Mostly useful for virtualization at the moment. Works in QEmu.
* Can be enabled by safemode settings/menu.
* Please note that x2APIC normally requires use of VT-d interrupt remapping feature
on real hardware, which we don't support yet.
all reports so far have been positive. We fall back to legacy mode in the cases
where we can't figure out the correct routing.

IO-APIC can be easily enabled to test it on various configurations. Note that
the previous default opt-out didn't work because the safemode options would not
be touched at all when not actually entering the boot menu.
Once IO-APIC is more broadly tested this can be removed again and the opt-out
option reenabled.

item) and kernel settings option "4gb_memory_limit". Enabling either one
causes the memory beyond 4 GB to be ignored.

* When DEBUG_SPINLOCK_LATENCIES is 1, the system will panic if any spinlock is
held longer than DEBUG_LATENCY micro seconds (currently 200). If your system
doesn't boot anymore, a new safemode setting can disable the panic.
* Besides some problems during boot when the MTRRs are set up, 200 usecs work
fine here if all debug output is turned off (the output stuff is definitely
problematic, though I don't have a good idea on how to improve upon it a lot).
* Renamed the formerly BeOS compatible safemode settings to look better; there
is no need to be compatible there.

though until we use ACPI for proper PCI IRQ routing through the IO APIC.
Therefore the IO APIC code path is not yet enabled and the IO APIC isn't used.
ISA interrupts would work though, as would PCI interrupts if you'd hardcode
them for your specific configuration.
Note that this change also modifies some parts in the bootloader and in the PIC
setup to make local APICs available even on non-SMP systems. This causes APIC
timers to be used instead the normal PIT if it is available (also on non-SMP
configurations).
Also fixes some general errors in SMP and PIC code as well as some code cleanup.

to contain headers shared by kernel and userland (mainly libroot).
* Moved quite a few private kernel headers to the new location. Split
several kernel headers into a shared part and one that is still kernel
private. Adjusted all affected Jamfiles and source in the standard x86
build accordingly. The build for other architectures and for test code
may be broken.
* Quite a bit of userland code still includes private kernel headers.
Mostly those are <util/*> headers. The ones that aren't strictly
kernel-only should be moved to some other place (maybe
headers/private/shared/util).
