LoadKernel already returns the partition number for the selected kernel.
This change makes it also return the GPT Entry's UniqueGuid, which will
eventually be passed to the kernel itself, so the kernel can determine which
of several possible devices it has booted from. It doesn't know for certain
because the BIOS and the kernel may enumerate the devices in a different
order.

load_kernel_test was failing because it wasn't setting
params->kernel_buffer_size before calling LoadKernel(). This fixes that,
plus adds some checks to LoadKernel so that it will notice bad params if it
happens again.

This is a mostly NOOP change which modifies the source code
to compile cleanly in the MSVC command line build
environment.
A new makefile is introduced (msc/nmakefile) along with a
README.txt in the same directory explaining how to build
the code in the DOS window. As of this submission the build
is running in a 32 bit environment, the intention is to use
the same makefile for 64 bit builds in the future.
Enabling high compilation warnings level allowed to
identify a couple of bugs in the code which are being fixed.
Not all sources are being compiled in the MSVC environment,
only those in firmware/ and most of those in test/
subdirectories. The benchmark calculations require porting
of the timer facilities and are being postponed.
TEST
Built in DOS and linux environments. Ran unit tests in
linux environment.

Firmware-side code for LoadKernel() is in place now. LoadFirmware() replacement coming soon.
The new functions are implemented in parallel to the existing ones (i.e., everything that used to work still does).

Also includes part of LoadKernel(), which I'll split into a separate
CL. With some hacks, gets into VerifyKernel() before dying because
I'm not passing in the right key blob.
cgptlib is now pretty stable, and worth looking at. LoadKernel() less so.
Thanks,
Randall
