xHCI: drive Port Reset on port reuse; WIREBIND: kill the console VM too (FABRIC-3.md §XI.5)
Two independent bugs that together caused a reliable hotplug wedge:
reusing an xHCI port for a second identity right after an unclean
detach of a first would leave no further hotplug events reaching the
guest at all.

Bug 1 (xhci.c/xhci_driver.h): the xHCI driver never drove PORTSC.PR --
a known, named gap since Milestone 2e (the code's own comment flagged
it, PORTSC_PR/PRC were defined but never referenced). A port's first
connect each boot reads PED already set, so skipping the reset
happened to work; a second device on the same port after a prior
disconnect reads PED clear, and Address Device reliably failed without
an explicit reset cycle. New XHCI_CONN_AWAIT_PORT_RESET state drives
PR and waits for PED to read set before proceeding to Enable Slot.

Bug 2 (capsule_wirebind.c): capsule_wirebind_eject()/unclean_detach()
compared g_repl_active_vm against the *user* VM's pointer
(g_wirebind_attached_vm_id tracks that one, not the console VM) --
never equal, since USE/g_repl_active_vm always points at the console
VM. The guard never fired and the console VM was never killed at all,
only orphaned -- paired to a dead user VM but still the REPL's active
session. New wirebind_teardown_console() helper resolves and tears
down the console VM by its own tracked bare username.

Verified live on amd64: the exact repro (identity 01 on port 2,
unclean detach, identity 02 on the same port immediately after) --
previously wedged with "xhci: address device failed" and no further
hotplug activity; now attaches cleanly and fast, both VMs' KILL
messages appear, console is immediately interactive on the new
identity. Three-arch clean qemu acceptance passed, all clean on the
first attempt.

include/starkernel/

Headers for LithosAnanke, the bare-metal UEFI kernel (src/starkernel/). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; gated by __STARKERNEL__ when shared with hosted code.

  • uefi.h — UEFI protocol/type definitions consumed by the loader.
  • elf64.h, elf_loader.h — ELF64 parsing and kernel-image loading.
  • boot_info_offsets.h — struct-offset constants shared between the assembly bootstrap and the C boot path.
  • arch.h, apic.h, timer.h — architecture init, APIC interrupt controller, timer (TSC/HPET/APIC, 100 Hz heartbeat).
  • console.h, framebuffer.h, vt100.h — UART 16550 console, framebuffer driver, and VT100 terminal emulation over the framebuffer.
  • pmm.h, vmm.h, kmalloc.h — physical memory manager (bitmap allocator), 4-level x86_64 paging, kernel heap allocator.
  • pci.h, virtio_blk.h — PCI enumeration and the VirtIO block device driver (disk backend for the kernel block subsystem).
  • capsule.h, capsule_birth.h, capsule_loader.h, capsule_run.h, capsule_vm_physics.h, capsule_generated.h — capsule system types, birth protocol, physics-runtime capsule bindings, and the build-time- generated capsule directory (see tools/mkcapsule.c).
  • kernel_args.h, cmdline.h — boot-time kernel argument parsing (starforth.cfg / command line).
  • repl.h — kernel REPL.
  • log.h, doe_log.h — kernel logging and DoE metrics logging.
  • q48_16.h — kernel-build copy of Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.
  • xxhash64.h — content-addressing hash used for capsule IDs.
  • hal_memory.h — hardware-abstraction-layer memory interface.

Subdirectories:

  • hal/ — top-level hardware-abstraction-layer interface.
  • vm/ — kernel VM subsystem headers (capsule arena, parity logging, bootstrap wiring).
  • freestanding/ — minimal libc-shim headers (assert.h, ctype.h, errno.h, inttypes.h, math.h, sched.h, signal.h, stdio.h, stdlib.h, string.h, time.h, sys/time.h, sys/types.h) for building shared VM code in the freestanding kernel environment, where no real libc is available.
