Probably due to old UEFI page tables going away, some systems failed to
load ACPI tables at their physical location. Make sure to translate them
to kernel offset-mapped addresses.
- Add a tag field to all endpoint messages, which doubles as a
notification field
- Add a endpoint_bind_irq syscall to enable an endpoint to listen for
interrupt notifications. This mechanism needs to change.
- Add a temporary copy of the serial port code to nulldrv, and let it
take responsibility for COM2
Calling `spinwait()` was hanging due to improper computation of the
clock rate because justin did a dumb at math. Also the period can be
greater than 1ns, so the clock's units were updated to microseconds.
Create a clock class which can be queried for current timestamp in
nanoseconds. Also implements a simple HPET class as one possible clock
source.

Look up the global constructor list that the linker outputs, and run
them all. Required creation of the `kutil::no_construct` template for
objects that are constructed before the global constructors are run.
Also split the `memory_initialize` function into two - one for just
those objects that need to happen before the global ctors, and one
after.

This commit makes several fundamental changes to memory handling:
- the frame allocator is now only an allocator for free frames, and does
not track used frames.
- the frame allocator now stores its free list inside the free frames
themselves, as a hybrid stack/span model.
- This has the implication that all frames must currently fit within
the offset area.
- kutil has a new allocator interface, which is the only allowed way for
any code outside of src/kernel to allocate. Code under src/kernel
_may_ use new/delete, but should prefer the allocator interface.
- the heap manager has become heap_allocator, which is merely an
implementation of kutil::allocator which doles out sections of a given
address range.
- the heap manager now only writes block headers when necessary,
avoiding page faults until they're actually needed
- page_manager now has a page fault handler, which checks with the
address_manager to see if the address is known, and provides a frame
mapping if it is, allowing heap manager to work with its entire
address size from the start. (Currently 32GiB.)
* Implement MSI style interrupts
* Move interrupt handling to device_manager for IRQs
* Give device_manager the ability to allocate IRQs
* Move achi::port to an interrupt-based scheme
