Axel Dörfler e8885f2097 Basically rewrote the ports subsystem to use:
* its own heap allocator instead of cbuf - this makes cbuf superfluous, and I
  therefore removed it from the kernel. The heap is swappable, so lifts the
  kernel's resource usage a bit. In the future, the heap should grow as well;
  right now it should be at least as good as before.
* it no longer uses spinlocks, but just mutexes now for better scalability - it
  was not usable with interrupts turned off anyway (due to its semaphore usage).
* it no longer uses semaphores, but condition variables.
* Needed to move the port initialization to a later point, as swappable memory
  wasn't usable that early.
* All ports test are still passing, hopefully I didn't mess anything up :-)
