Make rtems_initialize_data_structures(),
rtems_initialize_before_drivers() and rtems_initialize_device_drivers()
static. Rename rtems_initialize_start_multitasking() to
rtems_initialize_executive() and call the registered system
initialization handlers in this function. Add system initialization API
available via #include <rtems/sysinit.h>. Update the documentation
accordingly.
This is no functional change, only the method to call the existing
initialization routines changes. Instead of direct function calls a
table of function pointers contained in the new RTEMS system
initialization linker set is used. This table looks like this (the
actual addresses depend on the target).

Update #2408.
Move the storage for the thread queue heads to the threads. Each thread
provides a set of thread queue heads allocated from a dedicated memory
pool. In case a thread blocks on a queue, then it lends its heads to
the queue. In case the thread unblocks, then it takes a free set of
threads from the queue. Since a thread can block on at most one queue
this works. This mechanism is used in FreeBSD. The motivation for this
change is to reduce the memory demands of the synchronization objects.
On a 32-bit uni-processor configuration the Thread_queue_Control size is
now 8 bytes, compared to 64 bytes in RTEMS 4.10 (other changes reduced
the size as well).
Adds the possibility to register drivers before the IO Manager has
completed the initialization. Sometimes the BSP may want to register
a driver dynamically early in the boot process.
Deprecate Classic API Notepads. Mark task_set/get_note() with
the deprecated attribute, and also mark the notepads field.
Replace disable with enable option for notepads in confdefs.h,
and make notepads disabled by default. The previous option
CONFIGURE_DISABLE_CLASSIC_API_NOTEPADS is now unused and
will emit a compile-time warning. A new option
CONFIGURE_ENABLE_CLASSIC_API_NOTEPADS is available to turn
on notepads, but it also will emit a compile-time warning
to indicate that notepads are deprecated.
Closes#2265
Remove miniIMFS. Statically initialize the root IMFS.
Add configuration options to disable individual
features of the root IMFS, e.g.
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_CHOWN,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_FCHMOD,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_LINK,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_MKNOD,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_MOUNT,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_READLINK,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_RENAME,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_RMNOD,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_SYMLINK,
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_UNMOUNT, and
o CONFIGURE_IMFS_DISABLE_UTIME.
