62c666566e SMP - We boot APs
- kernel detects CPUs by searching ACPI tables for local apic nodes

- each CPU has its own TSS that points to its own stack. All cpus boot
  on the same boot stack (in sequence) but switch to its private stack
  as soon as they can.

- final booting code in main() placed in bsp_finish_booting() which is
  executed only after the BSP switches to its final stack

- apic functions to send startup interrupts

- assembler functions to handle CPU features not needed for single cpu
  mode like memory barries, HT detection etc.

- new files kernel/smp.[ch], kernel/arch/i386/arch_smp.c and
  kernel/arch/i386/include/arch_smp.h

- 16-bit trampoline code for the APs. It is executed by each AP after
  receiving startup IPIs it brings up the CPUs to 32bit mode and let
  them spin in an infinite loop so they don't do any damage.

- implementation of kernel spinlock

- CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_MAX_CPUS set by the build system

45badf4c05 ACPI in kernel
- the ability for kernel to use ACPI tables to detect IO APICs. It is
  the bare minimum the kernel needs to know about ACPI tables.

- it will be used to find out about processors as the MPS tables are
  deprecated by ACPI and not all vendorsprovide them.

df0ba02a38 Multiboot support (contributed by Feiran "Fam" Zheng);
keep in mind that GRUB needs to be patched to read MFS for now;
use /boot/image_latest to boot the last compiled image in GRUB

9ba760e603 kernel: oxpcie serial card support.
ask to map in oxpcie i/o memory and support serial i/o for it in the
kernel. set oxpcie=<address> in boot monitor (retrieve address using
pci_debug=1 output). (no sanity checking is done on the address
currently.) disabled by default.

The change also contains some other minor cleanup (a new serial.h to set
register info common to UART and the OXPCIe card, in-kernel memory
mapping a little more structured and env_get() to get sysenv variables
without knowing about the params_buffer).
