7967177710 endpoint-aware conversion of servers.
'who', indicating caller number in pm and fs and some other servers, has
been removed in favour of 'who_e' (endpoint) and 'who_p' (proc nr.).

In both PM and FS, isokendpt() convert endpoints to process slot
numbers, returning OK if it was a valid and consistent endpoint number.
okendpt() does the same but panic()s if it doesn't succeed. (In PM,
this is pm_isok..)

pm and fs keep their own records of process endpoints in their proc tables,
which are needed to make kernel calls about those processes.

message field names have changed.

fs drivers are endpoints.

fs now doesn't try to get out of driver deadlock, as the protocol isn't
supposed to let that happen any more. (A warning is printed if ELOCKED
is detected though.)

fproc[].fp_task (indicating which driver the process is suspended on)
became an int.

PM and FS now get endpoint numbers of initial boot processes from the
kernel. These happen to be the same as the old proc numbers, to let
user processes reach them with the old numbers, but FS and PM don't know
that. All new processes after INIT, even after the generation number
wraps around, get endpoint numbers with generation 1 and higher, so
the first instances of the boot processes are the only processes ever
to have endpoint numbers in the old proc number range.

More return code checks of sys_* functions have been added.

IS has become endpoint-aware. Ditched the 'text' and 'data' fields
in the kernel dump (which show locations, not sizes, so aren't terribly
useful) in favour of the endpoint number. Proc number is still visible.

Some other dumps (e.g. dmap, rs) show endpoint numbers now too which got
the formatting changed.

PM reading segments using rw_seg() has changed - it uses other fields
in the message now instead of encoding the segment and process number and
fd in the fd field. For that it uses _read_pm() and _write_pm() which to
_taskcall()s directly in pm/misc.c.

PM now sys_exit()s itself on panic(), instead of sys_abort().

RS also talks in endpoints instead of process numbers.

50b06261b6 Implementation of truncate(), ftruncate() and the F_FREESP fcntl().
Implemented by changing write_map to accept a WMAP_FREE flag. In that
case, it doesn't update the datablock (creating indirect zones as
necessary) pointer, but it frees the datablock if present. Also it
frees the single and double indirect blocks if unused.

This makes the implementation of truncate_inode() simpler.
truncate_inode() now accepts a truncation length which makes
implementing truncate() and ftruncate() simple.

This also allowed implementing the F_FREESP fcntl().

b5e3e6d18c Two 'dynamic driver' features in FS:
.  When drivers disappear that have pending select()s, wake up
   those user processes with EAGAIN so that they can retry their
   select() and won't hang forever on it.
.  When drivers re-appear and are mapped into the dmap, run through
   the list of mounted filesystems and re-dev_open() every one (for
   partition tables and such). This can't happen before the driver
   has exec()ced itself, so processes that have fork()ed but not
   exec()ced yet are marked as DMAP_BABY in the dmap table if they
   are dmapped before they are execced. If that happens, the above
   procedure happens after the exec(). If the exec() happens before
   the dmapping, it (the dev_open()ing) happens right away.

6e8f484b3b . added cd-probe logic; tries to find the right root filesystem
if the boot monitor parameter is set. it also sets a boot monitor
  parameter (by talking to the PM) so userland knows it.
. ramdisk copy code made slightly smarter
. various select() prettifications (work in progress)

42050e39f8 kernel and servers send diagnostic messages to IS; IS sends them to TTY
and the new log driver if enabled.

new usyslogd is started from /usr/etc/rc. New device created by
MAKEDEV.sh. /var/log created by etc/mtree/minix.tree (on root for
now). Made select() slightly more generic, with less code duplication.

9664ba0c4f Started select() implementation.
Added interface to select() for pipes (also named pipes), and select()
stubs for regular files.

Added timer library in FS that select() is the first customer of.


This is unfinished, but committed anyway to get a new release out to
Al and testers.

e44e9ad261 small compile fixes; initial select() stubs; release.sh script doesn't
need /tmp any more since 16MB root device; increase to 3.0.5 to make new
CD with working FXP driver. (not tagged 3.0.5 yet as at driver bios-copy
workaround hasn't been done.)
