This should fix the loader problem some folks were seeing on beos binaries.

The solution is less than optimal, but should work for now.

a function pointer, which it isn't.
The mistake was probably made because there appears to be multiple stdio implementations
in the tree (BSD and glibc) so it's easy to look at the wrong code. Perhaps
we should clean that up.

Basically, there was a pretty subtle race between the cpus in main where if the main cpu released the AP cpus and then before the AP cpus had a chance to run the boot cpu started creating the main thread (which causes smp ici messages to be created) the system would livelock, where the boot cpu waited forever for the AP cpu to acknowledge the ICI (for a TLB flush when creating the kernel stack).
Added smp_cpu_rendezvous(), used to synchronize all the cpus to a particular point, and used it a few times in main().
While i was at it i fixed another race that'll probably never happen, but what the hey. Make sure the kernel args are copied into kernel space by the main cpu before letting any other ones use it.

The kernel arg logic was faulty, and wasn't using strlcpy properly (which returns the size of the src string, not the remaining size). Replaced it with a simpler, but less efficient series of strlcat()s.

The first use is to let the kernel decide what the preferred syscall mechanism is at boot time and copy the
appropriate user space code there. Can be used for routines the kernel can decide best how to use (memcpy, some
timing routines, etc).

the new cpuid stuff was apparently exacerbating an existing problem where various bits of low level
cpu code (specifically get_current_cpu) weren't really initialized before being used. Changed the
order to set up a fake set of threads to point each cpu at really early in boot to make sure that at
all points in code it can get the current 'thread' and thus the current cpu.
A probably better solution would be to have dr3 point to the current cpu which would then point to the
current thread, but that has a race condition that would require an int disable, etc.

away cpuid info into the current cpu structure. Trouble was the code was running before the current
thread pointer was set on each cpu, so it was always looking up cpu 0's structure and saving there,
leaving the other ones uninitialized. Surprisingly this works fine on my machine, but obviously fails
on others (cpuid info would have been zeroed probably). Solution is to change the order that things
are brought up on each cpu to set the current thread pointer first. I don't really like that solution
but it'll work for now. Added a comment to the effect.

Now two complete tss structures exist within the per-cpu structure. Instead
of having to create a seperate area per each one, initialize them in place.
Also, the old mechanism to getting all of the cpus to get initialized was
subtly broken, but still managed to work. Now, just force all the cpus to
initialize at boot, which makes the actual swapping of esp0 somewhat simpler.

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.

then the overhead of a call into libroot, and finally the overhead of a syscall
(using is_computer_on).
The numbers are totally abysmal right now. :(

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.

debug only if you specify TEST_DEBUG. The debug binaries don't seem to
work right anyway.
Hopefully this didn't mess anyone up.

-Turns out the area removal routine had a massive race condition inside
vm_put_area(). Basically the area was removed from the address space's
area list before the pages were unmapped, so the vm could (and would)
recycle the space before the pages were finally unmapped.
It was completely reproducable on my machine during initialization of a bunch
of storage drivers that were bringing the locked_pool module into and out of
existence, which caused a thread to be spawned and stopped in rapid sucession.
On a dual processor machine, it was possible for the new thread to be started
up while the old one was still shutting down, and the kernel stack of the new
one would get wiped out.
Note, there still is a page ref counting problem with this area removal code.
It doesn't decrement the ref count of the page as it unmaps it. Will have to
figure that out.

put a spinlock around the serial debug routines to keep multiple
cpus from interleaving their output.
