rather than in kmain() as some subsystems may now require early console
I/O.
Added 16-bit read/write I/O functions to asm/io.h. These functions are
inw() and outw() respectively.
Added the file kernel/fs.h which will contain definitions relating to
filesystem functions.
Defined the type off_t as a signed 32-bit value in sys/types.h. This
type will be required for filesystem functionality.
Added the directory 'kernel/fs' to the project's source tree. The
kernel's makefile has been updated accordingly. This directory will
contain any source files relating to filesystem functionality (both
assembly and C files).
Added the file 'fs/hd.c' to the kernel's source tree. This file
currently contains three main functions (which are defined in
kernel/hd.h). These functions are as follows; hd_init() to enumerate and
initialize the hard disks, hd_read() to read sectors from the disk and
hd_write() to write sectors to the disk. Currently, all transfers are
done in ATA PIO mode using polling, however this will change in future.
The function hd_init() is called during the kernel's boot sequence in
kboot().
Added the file hd.img to the project's root directory. This is a 20MB
raw image file that will be used by Qemu as a 20MB hard disk. The main
makefile has been updated to tell Qemu to use this file on launch.
