corrected getmeminfo to use user space malloc'd memory
almost surely broken old memory support. So use FREE_PAGES_STACK
Added stack trace dump. Modified kassert to show the stack trace when assertion fails

Added brk()/sbrk() implementation and ported Doug Lea's Malloc to use until we make a custom one
Also moved kernel a bit higher. Source for dlmalloc is at http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html

Now the kernel parses the memory map table from the BIOS
