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.

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.
