- add loading of kernel debugger/ modules
- add a kgets() exported func for use by nasty modules =)

action has been set for the signal. If so, it doesn't try to install a
debugger, but simply lets the caller deliver the signal.
Fixes bug #237 (VLC entering the debugger when checking for processor
extensions).

This should eliminate the cases where commands doesn't seem to be accepted (but look fine on screen).

* exchanged sBlueScreenEnabled and sBlueScreenOutput (so that they better
match the sSerialDebugEnabled and sSyslogDebugEnabled variables).

{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.

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).

* To always be on the safe side, thread_hit_debug_event() now checks
whether the thread is the debug nub thread.

Extracted scheduler_init() from start_scheduler() (which is now called scheduler_start()).
Moved scheduler related function prototypes from thread.h to the new scheduler.h.
Cleanup.

the CPU value doesn't get lost when exiting a nested debugger.

even if "kernel_startup" was "true". Page faults are now no longer allowed
during kernel startup (and could be easily avoided). The only situation where
we accept page faults with interrupts turned off now is during a kernel debugger
session.
Added a command debug_debugger_running() to test for that situation.
kernel_debugger() no longer sets kernel_startup while it's running; there should
be no situation when this could be helpful.
Interrupts are no longer enabled when a page fault happens in the kernel
debugger.
This potentially fixes all sorts of problems, and not only in the kernel debugger,
it could also have affected SMP (will test later).

available.
Broken escape sequences are now properly ignored (read one character too much before).
Since the current line buffer is part of the history, we now delete that buffer when
crossing the current line again while traversing the history (restoring the former
buffer would be the nicest way, but that would require another empty buffer and more
copying).
Cleanup.

(dprintf() locks using acquire_spinlock() which can itself drop into the
kernel debugger, causing an endless loop (until the stack was full).
Removed debug_putchar().
The gdb interface is now calling arch_debug_serial_*() directly.

This helps to reduce the flood of commands for those blue screen "users" :-)

called by debug_init_post_vm().
Since the availability of a blue screen specific getchar() is static anyway, there
is no need for the sBlueScreenGetChar variable (only the message "only serial input
available" gets lost, but since that is platform specific anyway...).
Hello blue screen! We now have an on-screen KDL, to be enabled by the kernel
setting "bluescreen", just like on BeOS.
The blue screen does not yet support any cursor actions or backspace, though (need
to grab some stuff from our console driver).
