c02c9880b6 AK: Add Eternal<T> and use it in various places.
This is useful for static locals that never need to be destroyed:

Thing& Thing::the()
{
    static Eternal<Thing> the;
    return the;
}

The object will be allocated in data segment memory and will never have
its destructor invoked.

60d25f0f4a Kernel: Introduce threads, and refactor everything in support of it.
The scheduler now operates on threads, rather than on processes.
Each process has a main thread, and can have any number of additional
threads. The process exits when the main thread exits.

This patch doesn't actually spawn any additional threads, it merely
does all the plumbing needed to make it possible. :^)

022f7790db Use modern C++ attributes instead of __attribute__ voodoo.
This is quite nice, although I wish [[gnu::always_inline]] implied inline.
Also "gnu::" is kind of a wart, but whatcha gonna do.

1f159eaab0 Add a fast memcpy() using MMX when we're moving >= 1KB.
This is a nice speedup for WindowServer. I'll eventually have to do this
with SSE but the kernel doesn't support SSE yet so this is it for now.

5e9ba2ac84 Kernel: Rewrite ProcFS.
Now the filesystem is generated on-the-fly instead of manually adding and
removing inodes as processes spawn and die.

The code is convoluted and bloated as I wrote it while sleepless. However,
it's still vastly better than the old ProcFS, so I'm committing it.

I also added /proc/PID/fd/N symlinks for each of a process's open fd's.

14712ad9c5 Let's do dword-at-a-time memcpy() and memset() in userspace as well.
Also fix a dumb bug that showed up when I was memsetting something other
than zeroes.

c43903eebd Don't use dword-by-dword memset/memcpy if the addresses are unaligned.
Also don't enable the large kmalloc catcher by default.

24b2cadb82 Make the kernel's memcpy() and memset() go fast with dword copies.
Also I learned that the ABI allows us to assume DF=0 on function entry.

9d05f6b7a7 Make bash-2.05b build with minimal changes.
This is really neat. :^)

ebf308d413 Make kernel build with clang.
It's a bit faster than g++ and seems to generate perfectly fine code.
The kernel is also roughly 10% smaller(!)

0f20be05a6 Implement sys$getcwd properly.
Also fixed broken strcpy that didn't copy the null terminator.

9396108034 Import the "gerbert" kernel I worked on earlier this year.
It's a lot crappier than I remembered it. It's gonna need a lot of work.
