Michael Lotz 6eba063647 * Added simplified possibility to schedule UHCI transfers from within KDL.
* Added debugger commands to resolve usb_ids to pipes.
* Adjusted the physical memory allocator to be usable in a slimmed down mode
  when running inside the kernel debugger.
* Implemented USB keyboard support for KDL through a kernel debugger add-on.
* Added kgetc() and made use of it where previously individual methods were used
  to ensure that reading characters always goes through the kernel debugger
  add-ons and the other methods.

This has some preconditions to meet though:
1) The keyboard must be in the boot protocol (currently the case but needs to
   be revisited once we have a full usb_hid).
2) The keyboard must be attached to a UHCI root port (i.e. not use EHCI or OHCI,
   also not through hubs unless those are USB 1.1).
3) the usb_hid driver has to be opened for this to work. This means that for the
   time between initializing USB and when usb_hid is opened by the input_server
   there is no keyboard support.

Also note that this has no way of detecting hot-plug, meaning that you can't
re-attach your USB keyboard from the hub to the root port once in KDL.

On the bright side of things, since this is a non-destructive mechanism it is
possible to enter and leave KDL without loosing the USB state.

Tested OK in QEMU, not tested on real hardware yet, will see in a few minutes.
