Michael Lotz 9c1714ec1a Enable IO-APICs by default. It's been tested on a broad spectrum of hardware and
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.

Michael Lotz 56b5ad0781 Added a temporary opt-in option "enable_ioapic" to the boot menu. This way the
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.

Ingo Weinhold 7b1d69ecbb Added safe mode option B_SAFEMODE_4_GB_MEMORY_LIMIT (plus a boot loader menu
item) and kernel settings option "4gb_memory_limit". Enabling either one
causes the memory beyond 4 GB to be ignored.

Axel Dörfler 6242fd5977 * Added the possibility to debug latency issues with spinlocks.
* 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.

Michael Lotz 69dddbdea1 Initial work towards supporting IO APICs. This cannot work for PCI interrupts
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.

Ingo Weinhold 6b202f4e3d * Introduced new header directory headers/private/system which is supposed
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).
