Justin C. Miller aae18fd035 [boot][kernel] Replace frame allocator with bitmap-based one ...

The previous frame allocator involved a lot of splitting and merging
linked lists and lost all information about frames while they were
allocated. The new allocator is based on an array of descriptor
structures and a bitmap. Each memory map region of allocatable memory
becomes one or more descriptors, each mapping up to 1GiB of physical
memory. The descriptors implement two levels of a bitmap tree, and have
a pointer into the large contiguous bitmap to track individual pages.
