e5eeda2ec9 run: support TFTP servers using absolute paths
TFTP server requiring absolute directory names are supported (better) -
specify in RUN_OPT "--tftp-absolute" to create Pulsar config with absolute
path names for PXE boot.

Additional a symbolic link is created from the build directory to
"$PXE_TFTP_DIR_BASE$PXE_TFTP_DIR_OFFSET" automatically. This eases the use
together with autopilot for x86.

2a761c7fea run: extend genode_until_run by a spawn id
genode_until_run can be called now with a spawn id to able to reattach to a
spawned process (amt, serial output). Run scripts can now call genode_until_run
multiple times.

38b2a3dbb4 nova: support to run script automatically with AMT
This enables us to use the run scripts applied to a native machine equipped
with Intel's AMT. If the environment variables are correctly set up, the remote
test machine is reseted via 'amttool', then via 'amtterm' the serial output
is collected and the normal run script matching pattern for success/failure of
the run script are applied.

'amttool' and 'amtterm' are part of the package called 'amtterm' shipped with
the Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Debian and lot more.

Following environment variables are required, to run the run scripts with a
native AMT test machine:

PXE_TFTP_DIR_BASE   - absolute path of TFTP directory
PXE_TFTP_DIR_OFFSET - relative path to PXE_TFTP_DIR_BASE where the config file
                      will be generated - named 'config-00-00-00-00-00-00'

AMT_TEST_MACHINE_IP  - TCP/IP address of target AMT test machine
AMT_TEST_MACHINE_PWD - password of target AMT test machine

fb3933faf3 nova: use bender by default
Bender fixes the serial output on modern PC hardware. Prior this patch,
it was used only when combined with pulsar. Now, we also use it when
booting via GRUB.

c63a6d94f6 NOVA: add chain_loader 'bender'
'Bender' can detect serial ports accessible via PCI and writes the I/O ports
to the Bios Data area (BDA).

Usage together with the PXE bootloader ease life running Genode/NOVA on native
hardware, where a standard serial device isn't available anymore anywhere.

c56c9f586d NOVA: use grub instead of pxe
Make pxe optional and use by default grub.
For that to work we use objcopy to repack the elf64
file into elf32.

With this commit more tests succeed. Most
tests use 64M and with that pulsar even does not start
the hypervisor. With 96M more test run however that would
mean to adjust most of the run scripts ...

ae6257dce1 Use NOVA microkernel from github, add 64bit
Use git to get recent kernels from github. Adjust NOVA patch to compile
with recent github version. Patch and use makefile of NOVA microkernel
to avoid duplicated (and outdated) makefile in Genode

Furthermore, this patch adds support for using NOVA on x86_64. The
generic part of the syscall bindings has been moved to
'base-nova/include/nova/syscall-generic.h'. The 32/64-bit specific
parts are located at 'base-nova/include/32bit/nova/syscalls.h' and
'base-nova/include/64bit/nova/syscalls.h' respectively.

On x86_64, the run environment boots qemu using the Pulsar boot loader
because GRUB legacy does not support booting 64bit ELF executables.

In addition to the NOVA-specific changes in base-nova, this patch
rectifies compile-time warnings or build errors in the 'ports' and
'libports' repositories that are related to NOVA x86_64 (i.e., Vancouver
builds for 32bit only and needed an adaptation to NOVAs changed
bindings)

Fixes #233, fixes #234
