[librm] Add facility to provide register and stack dump for CPU exceptions
When DEBUG=librm_mgmt is enabled, intercept CPU exceptions and provide
a register and stack dump, then drop to an emergency shell. Exiting
from the shell will almost certainly not work, but this provides an
opportunity to view the register and stack dump and carry out some
basic debugging.
Note that we can intercept only the first 8 CPU exceptions, since a
PXE ROM is not permitted to rebase the PIC.

[librm] Add support for running in 64-bit long mode
Add support for running the BIOS version of iPXE in 64-bit long mode.
A 64-bit BIOS version of iPXE can be built using e.g.
make bin-x86_64-pcbios/ipxe.usb
make bin-x86_64-pcbios/8086100e.mrom
The 64-bit BIOS version should appear to function identically to the
normal 32-bit BIOS version. The physical memory layout is unaltered:
iPXE is still relocated to the top of the available 32-bit address
space. The code is linked to a virtual address of 0xffffffffeb000000
(in the negative 2GB as required by -mcmodel=kernel), with 4kB pages
created to cover the whole of .textdata. 2MB pages are created to
cover the whole of the 32-bit address space.
The 32-bit portions of the code run with VIRTUAL_CS and VIRTUAL_DS
configured such that truncating a 64-bit virtual address gives a
32-bit virtual address pointing to the same physical location.
The stack pointer remains as a physical address when running in long
mode (although the .stack section is accessible via the negative 2GB
virtual address); this is done in order to simplify the handling of
interrupts occurring while executing a portion of 32-bit code with
flat physical addressing via PHYS_CODE().
Interrupts may be enabled in either 64-bit long mode, 32-bit protected
mode with virtual addresses, 32-bit protected mode with physical
addresses, or 16-bit real mode. Interrupts occurring in any mode
other than real mode will be reflected down to real mode and handled
by whichever ISR is hooked into the BIOS interrupt vector table.

Move most arch/i386 files to arch/x86, and adjust the contents of the
Makefiles and the include/bits/*.h headers to reflect the new
locations.
This patch makes no substantive code changes, as can be seen using a
rename-aware diff (e.g. "git show -M5").
This patch does not make the pcbios platform functional for x86_64; it
merely allows it to compile without errors.

[legal] Relicense files under GPL2_OR_LATER_OR_UBDL
These files cannot be automatically relicensed by util/relicense.pl
since they either contain unusual but trivial contributions (such as
the addition of __nonnull function attributes), or contain lines
dating back to the initial git revision (and so require manual
knowledge of the code's origin).

[librm] Allow for the PIC interrupt vector offset to be changed
Some external code (observed with FreeBSD's bootloader) will continue
to make INT 13 calls after reconfiguring the 8259 PIC to change the
vector offsets for IRQs. If an IRQ (e.g. the timer IRQ) subsequently
occurs while iPXE is in protected mode, this will cause a general
protection fault since the corresponding IDT entry is empty.
A general protection fault is INT 0x0d, which happens to overlap with
the original IRQ5. We therefore do have an ISR set up to handle a
general protection fault, but this ISR simply reflects the interrupt
down to the real-mode INT 0x0d and then attempts to return. Since our
ISR is expecting a hardware interrupt rather than a general protection
fault, it doesn't remove the error code from the stack before issuing
the iret instruction; it therefore attempts to return to a garbage
address. Since the segment part of this address is likely to be
invalid, a second general protection fault occurs. This cycle
continues until we run out of stack space and triple fault.
Fix by reflecting all INTs down to real mode. This actually reduces
the code size by four bytes (but increases the bss size by almost
2kB).

[profile] Allow interrupts to be excluded from profiling results
Interrupt processing adds noise to profiling results. Allow
interrupts (from within protected mode) to be profiled separately,
with time spent within the interrupt handler being excluded from any
other profiling currently in progress.

[librm] Speed up real-to-protected mode transition under KVM
Ensure that all segment registers have zero in the low two bits before
transitioning to protected mode. This allows the CPU state to
immediately be deemed to be "valid", and eliminates the need for any
further emulated instructions.
Load the protected-mode interrupt descriptor table after switching to
protected mode, since this avoids triggering an EXCEPTION_NMI and
corresponding VM exit.
This reduces the time taken by real_to_prot under KVM by around 50%.

When running in a virtual machine, switching to real mode may be
expensive. Allow interrupts to be enabled while in protected mode and
reflected down to the real-mode interrupt handlers.

The userptr_t is now the fundamental type that gets used for conversions.
For example, virt_to_phys() is implemented in terms of virt_to_user() and
user_to_phys().
