80d671aea7 _cpuid() - full cpuid instruction wrapper
- the prototype changes to 

	_cpuid(u32_t *eax, u32_t *ebx, u32_t *ecx, u32_t *edx)

- this makes possible to use all the features of the cpuid instruction as
  described in the Intel specs

8a44a44cb9 Local APIC
- local APIC timer used as the source of time

- PIC is still used as the hw interrupt controller as we don't have
  enough info without ACPI or MPS to set up IO APICs

- remapping of APIC when switching paging on, uses the new mechanism
  to tell VM what phys areas to map in kernel's virtual space

- one more step to SMP

based on code by Arun C.

8a54d267f0 - VM_KERN_NOPAGEZERO feature is gone
- sys_getbiosbuffer feature is gone (from kernel; available from vm)
- bump version number because munmap() calls that newly compiled binaries
  will do trigger an ugly (but harmless) error message in older VM's
- some new VM calls and flags, the new IPC calls
- some new CR0 register bits
- added files for shared memory

bdab3c4cfb Library call for cpu features; make kernel and vm use this to query cpu
features (specifically: 4MB pages and TLB global bit).  Only enable
these features in CR4 if available. 4MB pages to be used in the near
future.

c078ec0331 Basic VM and other minor improvements.
Not complete, probably not fully debugged or optimized.
