Don't store a KMessage in kernel_args for the boot volume, only the buffer address/size.

Pointers in kernel_args are going to be changed to unconditionally use 64-bit
storage (to make kernel_args compatible with both the x86 and x86_64 kernels).
KMessage stores a pointer to its buffer, however since KMessage is used
outside of the boot code it is undesirable to change it to use 64-bit storage
for the pointer as it may add additional overhead on 32-bit builds. Therefore,
only store the buffer address and size and then construct a KMessage from
those in the kernel.

boot_loader_openfirmware: Add iSCSI boot support

If no Haiku remote disk server is found, try an iSCSI discovery session on
the TFTP server, using the IP address from the boot command or OF options.
All available IPv4 targets are considered, Target Portal Groups are ignored.

RFC 4173 suggests a mechanism that avoids a discovery session by using DHCP;
that requires a compatibly configured DHCP server though and we wouldn't have
access to such data currently anyway. iSCSI is currently used as fallback,
and when it doesn't succeed it falls back to the menu as before.

Resolves ticket #5319.

* Turned the kernel platform support from a library into an object.
* Moved the Open Firmware function platform_get_next_device() from
the boot loader into the kernel (renamed to of_get_next_device()).



git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@16101 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

* Introduced new build system variables
{HAIKU,HOST,TARGET}_KERNEL_PIC_{CC,LINK}FLAGS which define the
compiler/linker flags specifying the kind of position independence
the kernel shall have. For x86 we had and still have -fno-pic, but the
PPC kernel has -fPIE (position independent executable) now, as we
need to relocate it.
* The boot loader relocates the kernel now. Mostly copied the relocation
code from the kernel ELF loader. Almost completely rewrote the PPC
specific relocation code, though. It's more correct and more complete now
(some things are still missing though).
* Added boot platform awareness to the kernel. Moved the generic
Open Firmware code (openfirmware.c/h) from the boot loader to the kernel.
* The kernel PPC serial debug output is sent to the console for the time
being.
* The PPC boot loader counts the CPUs now and allocates the kernel stacks
(made OF device iteration a bit more flexible on the way -- the search
can be restricted to subtree). Furthermore we really enter the kernel...
(Yay! :-) ... and crash in the first dprintf() (in the atomic_set()
called by acquire_spinlock()). kprintf() works, though.

Added a mini networking stack to the boot loader. It speaks basic ARP,
IP, and UDP, as well as a home brewn UDP based protocol, "remote disk",
which provides random access to a single remote file/device. The Open
Firmware flavored boot loader automatically initializes the net stack,
searches for a remote disk, and tries to boot from it, if the boot
device is a network device (e.g. when loading the boot loader via
TFTP).

This is quite nice for developing with a two-machine setup, since one
doesn't even need to install Haiku on the test machine anymore, but can
serve it directly from the development machine. When the networking
support in the kernel is working, this method could even be used to
fully boot, not just for loading kernel and initial modules.
