and type) are overwritten with newer flags/ arguments. The interface from
within the kernel is lock_notify(). User processes can make a system call with
notify(). NOTIFY fully replaces the old notification mechanism.
The call works. Permission check, restriction of outstanding notifications
to be added. Low level code to make it work from within interrupt handlers
will be added as well.

. workaround for hanging keyboard bug after shutdown.. if key is pressed
during or after shutdown procedure, keyboard stops working. It looks like
irq 1 gets stuck high if no keyboard reading is done (e.g. because the
irq is masked or tty driver has exited). Workaround is to leave irqs
enabled until the last second, and call shutdown() immediately after the
last driver has stopped (tty task). This way the chance of an unserviced
interrupt occuring is negligible.
