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).

create_area() and friends should fail if it's not supported.

- the above file now also exports a function to finally complete the kernel's
address space translation map after semaphores became available (was just
not done before)
- renamed some functions, especially the *_init2() functions are now called
like *_init_post_area() to indicate they are called after the area functionality
became available
- removed the _struct suffix from certain structures
- fixed some return types
- added prototype for vm_free_unused_boot_loader_range() to be called by
arch code.

The former now only contains the structure definitions, while the other one
contains the arch-specific function prototypes (which do not have the arch_
prefix).
Added a ToDo comment to remember cleaning this up one day.
Made all headers C++ safe, simplified where possible.
