84b7bc5e14 Kernel: Add convenient ways to map whole BIOS and EBDA into memory
This patch adds a MappedROM abstraction to the Kernel VM subsystem.
It's basically the read-only byte buffer equivalent of a TypedMapping.

We use this in the ACPI and MP table parsers to scan for interesting
stuff in low memory instead of doing a bunch of address arithmetic.

6b74d38aab Kernel: Add 'ptrace' syscall
This commit adds a basic implementation of
the ptrace syscall, which allows one process
(the tracer) to control another process (the tracee).

While a process is being traced, it is stopped whenever a signal is
received (other than SIGCONT).

The tracer can start tracing another thread with PT_ATTACH,
which causes the tracee to stop.

From there, the tracer can use PT_CONTINUE
to continue the execution of the tracee,
or use other request codes (which haven't been implemented yet)
to modify the state of the tracee.

Additional request codes are PT_SYSCALL, which causes the tracee to
continue exection but stop at the next entry or exit from a syscall,
and PT_GETREGS which fethces the last saved register set of the tracee
(can be used to inspect syscall arguments and return value).

A special request code is PT_TRACE_ME, which is issued by the tracee
and causes it to stop when it calls execve and wait for the
tracer to attach.
