Microkernel timers are defined at compile time as a static list
but they are allocated dynamically in kernel execution.
The object tracing list will only list those timers that are
currently allocated at debug time. For this reason, timers
can be removed from the tracing list at any time.
A very simple double linked list was implemented to reduce the
complexity of the action to remove an item from the list from O(n)
to O(1) and simplify the remove implementation.

Restructure the kernel's object tracing implementation
to provide a public API that allows debug tools to use
the debug hooks easier and allows kernel developers
to extend the kernel's object tracing scope and include
new kernel objects easier.
The API provides the trace list abstraction to keep track
of different types of kernel objects. The API contains
a simple single-linked list implementation that allows
to save space and simplifies the access to the data for
debug tools such as gdb.
