Description
Port the MSIM MIPS simulator to HelenOS. This should be a rather simple exercise and it would allow us to demonstrate running HelenOS simulated in HelenOS (a step towards being self-hosting).
For MSIM, it is also likely that we can easily push changes to upstream, if needed.

I must say WOW! Got HelenOS in msim in HelenOS in Qemu/no-kvm running all the way up to the command line! Took quite a few minutes to inflate initrd… 
Nice work!

Please merge this to mainline. Further improvements (like TTY emulation) can be added later.

Merged as changeset:mainline,1501. Still remains to implement the tab completion and do something about HelenOS using ANSI escape sequences when compiled for MSIM. I will probably create new tickets for these and close this one afterwards.
