* Insert the pause op in all spin wait loops (as macro for platform independent sources or as inline assembly on x86 only files)
* Fix some warnings with tracing on and extended some output
* Minor cleanups here and there
The pause instruction is implemented since P4 systems but is fully backwards compatible (it's a no-op prior to P4). According to Intel specs it reduces performance penalties as memory order violations can be avoided. Also power consumption is reduced. Most of all this will be beneficial to hyper-threading systems as it frees resources to the other logical processor when one logical processor executes a fast spinning loop.

* ACPI is evaluated first as it also handles things like multi core or hyper threading setups
* Removed other (disabled) hyper threading code per the notes in the corresponding ToDo
* Limit the detected CPU count to 2 for now as I wasn't able to get it working in either emulation nor real hardware with more than 2 CPUs
* Added a reserved byte to the mp_config_table struct, it worked only by luck as the compiler did padding there to get to the same size
I can now boot my Core 2 Quad with two out of four processors active :-)

passes that information on to the kernel. This should fix wrong bytes per row with
certain resolutions and graphics cards.
* The boot loader now recognizes 15 bit modes that are advertised as 16 bit modes.
This should fix wrong colors in 16 bit modes on some cards.
* Reenabled setting MTRR for VESA mode - don't remember why I disabled it, but it
works fine on my test machines.

serial output, and puts it into the new kernel_args::debug_output field.
* syslog_init() will now check if there is anything in kernel_args::debug_output
and will put that into the syslog buffer.
* dump_block() now also prints an offset.
* Fixed warning in mmu.cpp.

* Images preloaded by the boot loader had to be modules to be of any use
to the kernel. Extended the mechanism so that any images not accepted
by the module code would later be tried to be added as drivers by the
devfs. This is a little hacky ATM, since the devfs manages the drivers
using a hash map keyed by the drivers inode ID, which those drivers
obviously don't have.
* The devfs emulates read_pages() using read(), if the device driver
doesn't implement the former (all old-style drivers), thus making it
possible to BFS, which uses the file cache which in turn requires
read_pages(), on the device. write_pages() emulation is still missing.
* Replaced the kernel_args::boot_disk structure by a KMessage, which can
more flexibly be extended and deals more gracefully with
arbitrarily-size data. The disk_identifier structure still exists,
though. It is added as message field in cases where needed (non net
boot). Moved the boot_drive_number field of the bios_ia32 platform
specific args into the message.
* Made the stage 1 PXE boot loader superfluous. Moved the relevant
initialization code into the stage 2 loader, which can now be loaded
directly via PXE.
* The PXE boot loader does now download a boot tgz archive via TFTP. It
does no longer use the RemoteDisk protocol (it could actually be
removed from the boot loader). It also parses the DHCP options in the
DHCPACK packet provided by PXE and extracts the root path to be
mounted by the kernel.
* Reorganized the boot volume search in the kernel (vfs_boot.cpp) and
added support for network boot. In this case the net stack is
initialized and the network interface the boot loader used is brought
up and configured. Since NBD and RemoteDisk are our only options for
net boot (and those aren't really configurable dynamically) ATM, the
the boot device is found automatically by the disk device manager.
Booting via PXE does work to some degree now. The most grievous problem
is that loading certain drivers or kernel modules (or related activity)
causes a reboot (likely a triple fault, though one wonders where our
double fault handler is on vacation). Namely the keyboard and mouse input
server add-ons need to be deactivated as well as the media server.
A smaller problem is the net server, which apparently tries to
(re-)configure the network interface we're using to boot, which
obviously doesn't work out that well. So, if all this stuff is disabled
Haiku does fully boot, when using the RemoteDisk protocol (not being
able to use keyboard or mouse doesn't make this a particular fascinating
experience, though ;-)). I had no luck with NBD -- it seemed to have
protocol problems with the servers I tried.

pages living in the identity mapped region, which they wouldn't, when
the boot loader allocated enough memory before.

The BuildPXEstage1 actions use "as" ATM, which is not correct, since it
should actually use the target platform assembler (i.e.
cross-compilation won't work). It should be replaced by $(TARGET_CC),
but that results in the following errors, when compiling with gcc 2.95.3:

device in the Open Firmware implementation of boot loader and
pass its path to the kernel, where it's opened and used for
getting/setting the real time. The expensive atomic_*64() on PPC

64 bit multiplication and division instructions won't really
allow system_time() to be anywhere near as fast as on x86. :-/

bus, and time base frequency) in the PPC boot loader, and propagate
them to the kernel via kernel_args.
* Now we use the correct time base frequency for timer calculations.
* Implemented PPC specific system info stuff. Added a few PPC CPU
types to <OS.h>.

According to the spec we need to set it before taking over the MMU,
but we can't call it before arch_mmu_init(), since we need the OF
to allocate the page table. So we do it after we have allocated
the new page table.
* Added PPC specific kernel_args: The virtual address ranges we want
to keep in the kernel. We fill that in with the translations we
find when initializing the MMU stuff. We remove the memory the
boot loader occupies from those. Besides the stack for the boot
loader only the OF stuff remains.
* arch_mmu_allocate() now starts to search at KERNEL_BASE for a free
virtual address when no particular address is requested. This saves
us further trouble in the kernel, since those allocations would
need to be remapped otherwise.

arch_mmu_allocate() to set the "cache inhibited" flag. One negative
effect was that for such memory the lwarx instruction (used by the
atomic_*() functions) does "... cause the system data storage error
handle to be invoked...", as the architecture specification puts it.

{HAIKU,HOST,TARGET}_KERNEL_PIC_{CC,LINK}FLAGS which define the
compiler/linker flags specifying the kind of position independence
the kernel shall have. For x86 we had and still have -fno-pic, but the
PPC kernel has -fPIE (position independent executable) now, as we
need to relocate it.
* The boot loader relocates the kernel now. Mostly copied the relocation
code from the kernel ELF loader. Almost completely rewrote the PPC
specific relocation code, though. It's more correct and more complete now
(some things are still missing though).
* Added boot platform awareness to the kernel. Moved the generic
Open Firmware code (openfirmware.c/h) from the boot loader to the kernel.
* The kernel PPC serial debug output is sent to the console for the time
being.
* The PPC boot loader counts the CPUs now and allocates the kernel stacks
(made OF device iteration a bit more flexible on the way -- the search
can be restricted to subtree). Furthermore we really enter the kernel...
(Yay! :-) ... and crash in the first dprintf() (in the atomic_set()
called by acquire_spinlock()). kprintf() works, though.

specifying whether only the exact supplied address is acceptable. If
false, the address is considered a hint only. It will be picked, if
available, otherwise a greater address is tried to be acquired, and
as last resort any address. This feature is only implemented for PPC.
It is needed since the preferred kernel text base address 0x80000000
might not be available (and actually isn't on my Mac mini).
* Fixed a bug in the PPC memory management code:
is_{virtual,physical}_allocated() were checking whether the given
range was completely contained by an existing range instead of
checking for intersection. As a consequence we could (and did) allocate
a range intersecting with already allocated ranges. The kernel segment
thus overwrote OF memory for instance.
* The ELF loader makes sure that it got both text and data segment of
the image to be loaded.
The PPC boot loader successfully loads kernel and modules now. Next
comes the hard part, I'm afraid.

platform_allocation_region(). Since the callback stuff doesn't seem to
work, the Open Firmware didn't ask us to allocate memory in turn, and
thus we didn't know about the range that had been mapped and reused it
later.

IP, and UDP, as well as a home brewn UDP based protocol, "remote disk",
which provides random access to a single remote file/device. The Open
Firmware flavored boot loader automatically initializes the net stack,
searches for a remote disk, and tries to boot from it, if the boot
device is a network device (e.g. when loading the boot loader via
TFTP).
This is quite nice for developing with a two-machine setup, since one
doesn't even need to install Haiku on the test machine anymore, but can
serve it directly from the development machine. When the networking
support in the kernel is working, this method could even be used to
fully boot, not just for loading kernel and initial modules.

menu. The menu basically works, but has a couple of problems. The
harmless ones are graphical: we get cursor artifacts when the colors
are changed, and the item selection doesn't quite look as it should.
More serious is the lack of Home/End, Page Up/Down keys. All I read from
the console is a '\0' byte when such a key is pressed. The cursor keys
work fortunately. I mapped the functionality of Page Up/Down
additionally to the Left/Right cursor keys. So the menu should be usable
at least. I guess, I'll leave it in that state; Axel wants a graphical
menu anyway.

* __FUNCTION__ is no longer a string literal (but a string expression), i.e.
