* Rename of_support.h/cpp back to support.cpp as per Axel

* Rename a few variables to make more sense
* OF_FAILED is a signed int.. fix return of of_address_cells
* OF_FAILED is a signed int.. fix return of of_size_cells

* Add header file to support of_support.cpp
* Add support functions to obtain address and size cell lengths
* Small style cleanups
* Add support for G5 PowerPC cpus...
* Refactor memory region code to be aware of 64-bit OF addresses.
As-is the boot loader wouldn't start on G5 systems because
OpenFirmware memory base addresses are stored as two 32-bit
unsigned int 'cells' vs one 32-bit unsigned int 'cell' on G3/G4.
I removed the static struct and replaced it with a template
and pass uint32 or uint64 depending on the address cell size.
Thanks for the idea DeadYak!

{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.
