kernel: +arch_get_thread_debug_cpu_state()

Similar to arch_get_debug_cpu_state(), but the thread whose CPU state
to retrieve is specified. Works only for threads that aren't running,
and on x86-64 we can get the FPU state only when the thread was
interrupted in userland.
Not implemented for the incomplete architecture ports.

Merged the signals branch into trunk, with these changes:
* The team and thread kernel structures have been renamed to Team and Thread
respectively and moved into the new BKernel namespace.
* Several (kernel add-on) sources have been converted from C to C++ since
private kernel headers are included that are no longer C compatible.

Changes after merging:
* Fixed gcc 2 build (warnings mainly in the scary firewire bus manager).

* Always include the public arch_debugger.h headers. The structures defined
there are prefixed with the respective architecture name. Useful for remote
debugging a different architecture.
* <x86/arch_debugger.h>: Introduced a structure for the FPU state, so that it
isn't left to the debugger.
* Removed the _kern_get_thread_cpu_state() syscall. Was originally intended for
bdb compatiblity, but isn't really needed.
* Kernel x86 arch_get_debug_cpu_state(): The use of fnsave was broken, since
it reinits the FPU after saving the state. This resulted in weird results
when debugging functions using the FPU. We now use fxsave, if available.
Otherwise fnsave + frstor should be used -- not fully implemented yet.
Same for arch_set_debug_cpu_state().

User debugger support:
* Generalized address checks. The debugger can now also read the commpage.
* Added new syscall _kern_get_thread_cpu_state() to get the CPU state of a
not running thread. Introduced arch_get_thread_debug_cpu_state() for that
purpose, which is only implemented for x86 ATM (uses the new
i386_get_thread_user_iframe()).
* Don't allow a debugger to change a thread's "esp" anymore. That's the esp
register in the kernel. "user_esp" can still be changed.
* Generally set RF (resume flag) in eflags in interrupt handlers, not only
after a instruction breakpoint debug exception. This should prevent
breakpoints from being triggered more than once (e.g. when the breakpoint is
on an instruction that can cause a page fault). I still saw those with bdb
in VMware, but that might be a VMware bug.

- handle the supervisor bit from SR correctly on iframes
- various notes on 060 vs others:
- 060 has 040 compatible mmu, except pgtables must *not* be on copyback memory
- 060 has a processor control reg which has a revision number to use in system_info
- notes on ctx switch:
- must be kept in sync with asm code
- fsave generate variable size frames, so reserve space and use non-predecrementing EA.

- missing ppc stub
- kernel_m68K almost links now, jsut bails out on the linker script...


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@26096 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Ditto.
cleanup
Less ppc, more m68k :)


git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22822 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

Unfinished kernel support for m68k.
Based on ppc/x86 from r22648.
