32fbbd370c - pages that points to page directory values of all processes,
shared with the kernel, mapped into kernel address space; 
   kernel is notified of its location. kernel segment size is
   increased to make it fit.
 - map in kernel and other processes that don't have their
   own page table using single 4MB (global) mapping.
 - new sanity check facility: objects that are allocated with
   the slab allocator are, when running with sanity checking on,
   marked readonly until they are explicitly unlocked using the USE()
   macro.
 - another sanity check facility: collect all uses of memory and
   see if they don't overlap with (a) eachother and (b) free memory
 - own munmap() and munmap_text() functions.
 - exec() recovers from out-of-memory conditions properly now; this
   solves some weird exec() behaviour
 - chew off memory from the same side of the chunk as where we
   start scanning, solving some memory fragmentation issues
 - use avl trees for freelist and phys_ranges in regions
 - implement most useful part of munmap()
 - remap() stuff is GQ's 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.
