Jean-Baptiste Boric 666936a06b Kernel: Find boot device by enumerating devices ...

Since devices are enumerable and can compute their own name inside the
/dev hierarchy, there is no need to try and parse "root=/dev/xxx" by
hand.

This also makes any block device a candidate for the boot device, which
now includes ramdisk devices, so SerenityOS can now boot diskless too.
The disk image generated for QEMU is suitable, as long as it fits in
memory with room to spare for the rest of the system.
