* recursive_lock_unlock() now returns a void to mirror it's counterpart better;
use recursive_lock_get_recursion() if you're interested in the lock depth.
* switch_sem(), and release_sem() now don't do anything anymore in kernel startup
mode.

for one quantum wasn't really a good idea, as this could get quite expensive for the thread
(depending on the system load, it might have taken a long time until the thread was scheduled
again, no matter what priority it was).
Also, calling thread_yield() in a loop would have taken 100% CPU time.
Now, we sort the thread into the queue as with any other thread, but we'll ignore it once.
This now guarantees an actual context switch, as well as a much fairer rescheduling policy
for threads calling that function.

at boot, per cpu, detect the cpu, pull down all the relevant cpuid bits and
save them into the per-cpu structure. Changed most of the code scattered here
and there that reads the cpuid to use a new api, x86_check_feature, which looks
at the saved bits.
Also changed the system_info stuff to read from these bits.
While i was at it, refreshed all the bits to be current.

Replaced the _kern_null syscall with _kern_is_computer_on.
is_computer_on_fire is a bit harder, since it returns a float from kernelland, which
at the moment isn't supported in haiku.

* we now always flush the TLBs after having unmapped some pages.
* vm_soft_fault() could traverse to a source cache while it was being collapsed
by vm_cache_remove_consumer() - this is now no longer possible as the latter
marks the cache as busy when doing so, and the former now tests this flag and
locks the cache (via the new fault_acquire_locked_source() function).
* if fault_acquire_locked_source() fails with B_BUSY, the current cache is locked
again, and tested again for the page - as it might have been moved upwards to it
with the destruction of its former source.
* The cache delivering the page for vm_soft_fault() is now locked until the end;
it can no longer go away before having actually mapped the page into the area.
* This also fixes the issue where pages would get lost as vm_soft_fault() put the
page in the active list, no matter if its cache still existed.
* Also, we now keep a reference of to a cache in case a dummy page is inserted; this
makes again sure that it doesn't go away during the execution of vm_soft_fault()
(which could even add this page to the free list...).
* divided vm_soft_fault() into several smaller functions which should make it much
more readable.
* Added a "cache_chain" KDL command that dumps the whole chain until the bottom
when giving a pointer to a vm_cache as parameter.
* now usually call vm_cache_acquire_ref() before map_backing_store(), even though
it shouldn't be really needed (I added it for debugging purposes).
* Some minor cleanup.
* NOTE: a major problem still persists: when removing a vm_cache, it's possible
that some of its pages are still mapped, and there is currently no mechanism
to get rid of these mappings! I've added TODO comments into vm_cache.c where
appropriate.

process group. This fixes bug #996.
* As a result, the process group stuff and wait_for_child() got much simpler;
get_death_entry() and update_wait_for_any() could go away completely.
* If a team goes away, all of its children are now "reparented" to the kernel team,
instead of the team's parent - this follows common implementations (and POSIX if
I understand it correctly), but not BeOS anymore. The OpenGroup Base says this
about this topic: "If a parent process terminates without waiting for all of its
child processes to terminate, the remaining child processes shall be assigned a
new parent process ID corresponding to an implementation-defined system process."
* We wait too long in wait_test_4 which at least puts us on par with Linux; see
comment in _user_setpgid().

this fixes bug #227 again (which I recently opened again accidently).
* We actually switched the last consumer's source without having acquired its
lock! This fixes some rare random app crashes as well as potential kernel
crash ("cache to be deleted still has consumers").
* Some more comments to explain why things are done and can be done the way they
are done :-)

* "sc"/"where"/"bt" now prints the area where the function of the stack frame
is located in case there is no other information (using the above function).

two cache_refs - it needs to count the consumers of the lower cache to find
its actual number of references; the upper cache could still be in use by
someone else.
* There were several locking bugs in the VM code; since cache_ref::cache can
change, we must not access it without having the cache_ref locked.
* As a result, map_backing_store() now requires you to have the lock of the
store's cache_ref held.
* And therefore, some functions in vm_cache.c must no longer lock the cache_ref
on their own, but require the caller to have it locked already.
* Added the -s option to the cache/cache_ref KDL commands: it will only print
the requested structure, and not its counterpart (useful if accessing one
structure results in a page fault, as was possible previously).

turned off - accessing userland memory. Now, arch_thread_enter_userspace() does that
job, and as a result, may also fail.
* dump_thread() now directly prints the info of the current thread when used without
argument (rather than iterating the thread list to look for the current thread).
* If arch_thread_init_tls() fails upon thread creation, the function will now return
an error.

them to commit substantially less memory (we we're committing about 40 MB (!) too much
after a complete system boot). This means you'll run out of memory less likely now.
* fill_area_info() no longer filters out kernel protection flags - we may want to keep
filtering them when called from userland, though, dunno.
* Added new debugger command "avail" which shows how much memory has been committed, and
how much is regarded as free space.

* wait_for_thread_etc() will now search the team's death entries in case the
thread is already gone; also resume_thread() is now done later, and its return
code will no longer matter (as we already have our death entry, no matter if
the thread is gone now or not).
* The fibo_load_image test now works as expected (only tested with low numbers
yet, though - the mean testing comes later (first comes functionality) :-))

* TODO: let the PPC/OpenFirmware implementation use those as well.

which case the actual group's session doesn't matter.

the same for now).
* Made team_get_process_group_locked() public, and rewrote send_signal_etc() to use

* Added an interrupt driven keyboard handler to the kernel that uses
