Finished FPU lazy context switching - first version. I have not tested it and there are many things which must be changed when
it runs first time OK.

Line 
1+ implement true memory management
2 + [ia32] use int 0x15 ax=0xe820 to get memory map and memory size
3 + [mips] use some heuristics to get memory map and memory size
4 + reimplement heap so that it can allocate/deallocate itself frames as necessary
5 + provide native four-level portable page table interface
6 + every architecture uses its native page table format
7 + kernel provides unified four-level page table interface for all architectures
8 + track usage of frames containing middle-level page tables (frame leak)
9
10+ get user mode support for all architectures
11
12+ save/restore floating point context on context switch
13 + [ia32] lazy context switch using TS flag
14+ [ia32] MMX,SSE1-.. initialization
15+ [ia32] review privilege separation
16 + zero IOPL in EFLAGS
17 + before IRET (from SYSCALL), zero NT in EFLAGS
18+ [ia32] review the cache controling bits in CR0 register
19+ [ia32] zero the alignment exception bit in EFLAGS
20+ make emulated architectures also work on real hardware
21+ bring in support for other architectures (e.g. PowerPC)
