* Integration of the new driver architecture.
* Moved devfs from fs/ to device_manager/, and separated the legacy driver
support from it.
* Removed fast_log module.
* There are a couple of (temporary) regressions, though:
- legacy SATA and ISA IDE support is disabled, the drivers haven't been
ported yet.
- The not yet used ATA bus manager hasn't been ported yet, either.
- AHCI changes have not been tested.
- the listdev command has been removed from the build (as it currently
doesn't work anymore).
- device manager generated IDs currently are not freed anymore when a device
node is removed.
- generic drivers can't yet use the new driver architecture.
- simple busses that do not support device types won't work yet.
- legacy driver publishing/unpublishing (ie. what USB needs) has not been
tested, and may be broken.

* Driver probe code now uses find_directory() to get the directories to
look for drivers (also added common directory).
* Now also honours the B_SAFEMODE_DISABLE_USER_ADD_ONS setting.

added a jam rule AddDriverRegistrationToHaikuImage to add device mappings on the image
commented the insertion of the attribute name in patterns in the case of a string attribute
notify_probe_by_file chooses a module based on a bus specific suffix
dm_register_child_device has a parameter to optionally check the support for the node
added scanning of bus devices after the boot filesystem is mounted
fixed dm_rescan, locking was misbehaving
fixed SYSTEM_DRIVER_REGISTRATION definition
added B_DRIVER_MAPPING attributes for PCI and ACPI devices:
%vendor%_%device% for PCI, hid_%hid% and type_%type% for ACPI
moved acpi_device_module_info definition to public ACPI.h

* each device manager node has now an autogenerated identifier
* added a generic syscall for device_manager
it enables to iterate the device manager tree from userland
* the listdev tool is now using it: it's still incomplete as it only dumps nodes and attributes

* Added get_root() to device_manager_info. Surprisingly enough, it
returns the root device node. Now its actually possible to
traverse the device node tree without a node to start with.
* Fixed execution order problem in dm_get_next_child_node(). The
supplied node was put first (which could cause its immediate
deletion), but was still accessed thereafter.
