shell.S: Add .section .bss to make Clang happy

* The boot loader does now set up an IDT that allows it to catch processor
exceptions (page faults and the like). The handler dumps possibly interesting
information (registers, a (numerical) stack trace) to the serial output, and,
if possible, also to the screen. That should help debugging boot loader
crashes.
* For the IDT the boot loader sets up for the kernel the descriptors are set up
the same way, so until the kernel initializes the IDT itself (arch_init()) the
facility is still in place and can thus catch very early kernel boot crashes.
Unfortunately the on-screen output doesn't seem to work anymore at that point,
so the output only goes to the serial port...
* ... and to the debug syslog -- dprintf() does now append it there after
debug_cleanup() has been called. Seems to work fine in qemu, but when I tested
it on real hardware the debug syslog was gone.

Make multiboot.h usable from assembler, and remove duplicate defines.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@39303 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Add MultiBoot support.
Based on a patch from Dustin Howett, reworked, and help from Vladimir 'phcoder' Serbinenko.
- used defines for clarity, the rest of teh code could make use of them too...
- added a gMultiBootInfo pointer to the passed args, to let C code handle it instead of faking the boot drive ID,
- conditionalized the copy back, maybe we can get rid of it when QEMU handles our default load address correctly,
- added video mode info to ask for 1024x768 but QEMU ignores it anyway, and we might need to show the menu, so it's disabled.

Make the tgz archive offset in floppy image settable. Set it to 270k for now, until zbeos gets some diet.


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@28657 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Removed platform_boot_device_is_image() - platform_get_boot_device() now fills
in the adequate field in the kernel_args structure.
Renamed gCDFloppyBoot variable to gBootedFromImage (as network boot should look
similar).
The "kernel_args.boot_disk.cd" field is now maintained as well.
The print_item_at() menu function now prints the Menu::ChoiceText() instead
of that of its marked item.

Improved comments about the manual symbol relocations.
Minor cleanup.

The boot loader now has special support for being booted from a boot image
like floppy or CD boot.
This allows it to reduce the number of scans needed to identify the boot
partition - when booted from a real floppy, this speeds up the boot
process by a magnitude.
Also, the loader now has a fall back in case there were no "boot" links
on the disk - the current boot floppy script doesn't create them.
With these changes, I was able to boot into a HD based Haiku installation
from a floppy disk. It's not yet enough to boot from CD (as the boot
device selection is a bit too simplistic right now), but it will eventually
come next. Testing is a lot slower here, though, as neither qemu nor
Bochs support multi-session CDs (at least I have no idea how to get them
to do this).

Now loads the maximum size of zbeos when booted from a floppy or CD.
Note, this value should be patched by the build system to the actual size
of zbeos - but since we don't have this mechanism in place yet, the maximum
value is probably the best default, even if it should slow down a floppy
boot considerably.
