Add simple cooperative threading scheme to allow parallel hw init.
Enable system for running hardware initialization in parallel.
The yield() call can now round-robin between "threads".
Rework ata controller init to use a thread per controller.
Make sure internal drives are registered in a defined order.
Run keyboard initialization in a thread.
Rework usb init to use a thread per controller.
Any thoughts Kevin?
Before this commit, the gPXE e1000 rom was able to successfully netboot
when selected as a boot device. With this commit, we get a "device not
found" error within gPXE when launched as a boot device but when run
from the gPXE command line, it launches successfully.
