Add a dummy nop at the end of _start() to maintain the invariant that
the return-pointer (rp) always point to the calling function. This
makes unwinding stop at the last frame, as it should.

This patch implements PAL_VM_SUMMARY (and PAL_MEM_ATTRIB for good
measure) and pretends that the simulated machine is a McKinley.

Thanks to Stephane, we've now worked out the real cause of the
`Linux will not boot on simulator' problem. Turns out it's a stack
overflow because the stack pointer wasn't being initialised properly
in boot_head.S (it was being initialised to the lowest instead of the
highest address of the stack, so the first push started to overwrite
data in the BSS).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
