We only support 4 total chain entries at the moment, but that can be
"easily expanded"... We don't really have a lite dynamic vector, just
the big fat dynamic lists, so improving on this needs some extra effort.
This commit also drags in a bunch of random network work by necessity.
- The kernel version has been bumped to 0.9.0
- The timer resolution in the kernel has been increased to millseconds.
- The preemptive scheduling interval has been descreased to one
millisecond.
- Relative sleep continues to use 10 millsecond intervals for legacy
reasons.
- `gettimeofday` now uses the internal tick counter to calculate the
current time. Drift is calculated from the CMOS every 5 seconds and
applies only to `gettimeofday` and other places that use it.
- The resolution of timing information provided by debug functions has
been increased to three digits (milliseconds).
- The resolution of timing information provided by the procfs uptime
virtual file has been increased to three digits (milliseconds).
- Functions have been added to the debug shell to read the TSC. The TSC
is not used in timing functions at this time.
Completely removes:
* The kernel terminal (both VGA and graphical)
* The kernel ANSI parser (obviously)
* kgets() function
* Dozens of other functions that were made useless
Adds:
* Userspace terminal that should work (relatively) well
* Keyboard device driver (implemented with a "pipe" object)
* Stabalized interrupt interface
* `clear` uses the c library
* All panic screens and kprintf() output goes to the serial line ONLY
* The kernel boots directly into /bin/terminal (no arguments, unless you
want to add them (such as -f))
