2d72cbec41 SYSENTER/SYSCALL support
. add cpufeature detection of both
	. use it for both ipc and kernelcall traps, using a register
	  for call number
	. SYSENTER/SYSCALL does not save any context, therefore userland
	  has to save it
	. to accomodate multiple kernel entry/exit types, the entry
	  type is recorded in the process struct. hitherto all types
	  were interrupt (soft int, exception, hard int); now SYSENTER/SYSCALL
	  is new, with the difference that context is not fully restored
	  from proc struct when running the process again. this can't be
	  done as some information is missing.
	. complication: cases in which the kernel has to fully change
	  process context (i.e. sigreturn). in that case the exit type
	  is changed from SYSENTER/SYSEXIT to soft-int (i.e. iret) and
	  context is fully restored from the proc struct. this does mean
	  the PC and SP must change, as the sysenter/sysexit userland code
	  will otherwise try to restore its own context. this is true in the
	  sigreturn case.
	. override all usage by setting libc_ipc=1

6cb94cc91b tests: don't chmod 777 everything upon cleanup
rm -rf works just fine no matter what mode bits are set (modulo
file ownership and current user id). Test 43 creates a symlink
to / and the chmod operation would change file permissions outside
of the test directory.

25817b0854 vm: change NO_MEM to a more impossible value
fixes an assert() firing when starting X. thanks to the report by pikpik.

	. NO_MEM was 0, which is actually an existing piece
	  of physical memory. it can't be allocated because it's reserved
	  for bios data (by the kernel), but it can be mapped in (e.g.
	  by X), causing sanity check disaster.
	. NONCONTIGUOUS is also obsolete as all allocations are single-page
	  now, i.e. NONCONTIGUOUS is really the default and only mode.

ed1af3c86c VM: full munmap
complete munmap implementation; single-page references made
a general munmap() implementation possible to write cleanly.

	. memory: let the MIOCRAMSIZE ioctl set the imgrd device
	  size (but only to 0)
	. let the ramdisk command set sizes to 0
	. use this command to set /dev/imgrd to 0 after mounting /usr
	  in /etc/rc, so the boot time ramdisk is freed (about 4MB
	  currently)

992799b91f VFS: make all IPC asynchronous
By decoupling synchronous drivers from VFS, we are a big step closer to
supporting driver crashes under all circumstances. That is, VFS can't
become stuck on IPC with a synchronous driver (e.g., INET) and can
recover from crashing block drivers during open/close/ioctl or during
communication with an FS.

In order to maintain serialized communication with a synchronous driver,
the communication is wrapped by a mutex on a per driver basis (not major
numbers as there can be multiple majors with identical endpoints). Majors
that share a driver endpoint point to a single mutex object.

In order to support crashes from block drivers, the file reopen tactic
had to be changed; first reopen files associated with the crashed
driver, then send the new driver endpoint to FSes. This solves a
deadlock between the FS and the block driver;
  - VFS would send REQ_NEW_DRIVER to an FS, but he FS only receives it
    after retrying the current request to the newly started driver.
  - The block driver would refuse the retried request until all files
    had been reopened.
  - VFS would reopen files only after getting a reply from the initial
    REQ_NEW_DRIVER.

When a character special driver crashes, all associated files have to
be marked invalid and closed (or reopened if flagged as such). However,
they can only be closed if a thread holds exclusive access to it. To
obtain exclusive access, the worker thread (which handles the new driver
endpoint event from DS) schedules a new job to garbage collect invalid
files. This way, we can signal the worker thread that was talking to the
crashed driver and will release exclusive access to a file associated
with the crashed driver and prevent the garbage collecting worker thread
from dead locking on that file.

Also, when a character special driver crashes, RS will unmap the driver
and remap it upon restart. During unmapping, associated files are marked
invalid instead of waiting for an endpoint up event from DS, as that
event might come later than new read/write/select requests and thus
cause confusion in the freshly started driver.

When locking a filp, the usage counters are no longer checked. The usage
counter can legally go down to zero during filp invalidation while there
are locks pending.

DS events are handled by a separate worker thread instead of the main
thread as reopening files could lead to another crash and a stuck thread.
An additional worker thread is then necessary to unlock it.

Finally, with everything asynchronous a race condition in do_select
surfaced. A select entry was only marked in use after succesfully sending
initial select requests to drivers and having to wait. When multiple
select() calls were handled there was opportunity that these entries
were overwritten. This had as effect that some select results were
ignored (and select() remained blocking instead if returning) or do_select
tried to access filps that were not present (because thrown away by
secondary select()). This bug manifested itself with sendrecs, but was
very hard to reproduce. However, it became awfully easy to trigger with
asynsends only.

373cb6526c IPC server: do not loop to find syscall handler
Instead of using a loop to find a matching ipc (inter process
communication) system call type, the offset in the call table can be
simply calculated in constant time.

Also, when the interprocess communication server receives an ipc
system call from a process, ipc should tell VM to watch the process
only once. This patch fixes that also.

(Patch and commit message slightly edited by committer.)
