        src/sys/arch/i386/include: multiboot.h

Log Message:
Implement support for 'The Multiboot Specification' so that i386 kernels
can be booted directly from Multiboot-compliant boot loaders (e.g. GRUB).
See the added multiboot(8) manual page for more information.

No objections in tech-kern@; only positive comments.
