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.

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).
