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.

This code compiles and installs using a modified ebuild (which needs to be committed after this change).

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.

MSVC does not like bitfields with extra bits in them, so it made the GptEntry struct too big.
Fixed a missing return value in LoadFirmware().
Added some debug output.
Fixed calls to SetupTPM().
Tested with 'make && make runtests'. No errors.

This is a noop for host/chroot environment. When compiling
in the firmware space the standard include files will not be
included, the definitions will be supplied by the BIOS,
through the new file (firmware/include/sysincludes.h).
Testing
=======
RUNTESTS=1 make
in the top level directory succeeds, confirming that the
tree compiles cleanly and the unit tests pass.
