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 some hardware is not working. graphic, usb and memory card are working. Hard disc is too slow and network is working with SCPH-10350 (not fully tested). CD/DVD is unstable.
- 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.
Changes:
- Support network.
