Subject2.1.93..

2.1.93 is out there. It is broken on other platforms than x86, because I
had to move some initialization code around, but this shoul dbe very easy
to fix (moving the device init code later makes a _lot_ of things easier:
the system is essentially up and running, and "kmalloc()" etc actually
works).

Now the PCI init code actually has the full SMP knowledge, which it needs
in order to get the interrupt mapping stuff right (for example - it might
eventually need it for other reasons too).

The PCI code has generally been cleaned up - thanks to Martin Mares (the
PCI cleanup is what forced me to do the other changes - anything else
would simply have been too ugly).

2.1.93 should also fix the stupid things in 92 (modules don't load due to
missing symbols, and NULL pointer dereferences in /proc under certain
circumstances etc).

The kernel should also be better at detecting the really low memory
circumstances, and eventually return NULL instead of just looping forever
trying to find a page that it won't ever find.
