Implement structures to allow the kernel to log to the screen. Use a mutex lock on the display framebuffer, wrapped in a structure that holds cursor positions and current text content, to do this.

First things first, I should probably move the display code out of the arch folder. The structure of the framebuffer returned by limine is consistent across architectures and thus requires no special per-architecture code.

What's more, I should be looking to exclude this display code from the kernel entirely, and simply hand off the framebuffer region to a server process's address space. Adding driver code to the kernel will only produce dependencies on kernel code that I will have to correct later.

Hence, this is blocked by #3.
