Playstation 2 linux kernelloader (ps2dev)

Kernelloader is a bootloader for ps2 linux and other ps2 operating systems. The current state is:
- Linux can be started, but most hardware is not working. Graphic, USB and memory card are working.
- A playstation kernel simulation is included. Only some ps2 syscalls are supported. Only single thread and a interrupt handler is supported. SIF RPC is working, so all hardware components should work.
