The T_DUMPCORE implementation was not only broken - it would currently
produce a coredump of the tracer process rather than the traced
process - but also deeply flawed, and fixing it would require serious
alteration of PM's internal state machine. It should be possible to
implement the same functionality in userland, and that is now the
suggested way forward. For now, also remove the (identical) utilities
using T_DUMPCORE: dumpcore(1) and gcore(1).

These days, DEV_OPEN calls to character drivers block the calling
thread until completion or failure, and thus never return SUSPEND to
the caller. The same already applied to BDEV_OPEN calls to block
drivers. It has thus become impossible for a process to enter a state
of being blocked on a device open call.
There is currently no support for restarting device open calls to
restarted character drivers. This support was present in the _DOPEN
logic, but was already no longer triggering. In the future, this case
should be handled by the thread performing the open request.

- change all sync char drivers into async drivers;
- retire support for the sync protocol in libchardev;
- remove async dev style, as this is now the default;
- remove dev_status from VFS;
- clean up now-unused protocol messages.

* Removed startup code patches in lib/csu regarding kernel to userland
ABI.
* Aligned stack layout on NetBSD stack layout.
* Generate valid stack pointers instead of offsets by taking into account
_minix_kerninfo->kinfo->user_sp.
* Refactored stack generation, by moving part of execve in two
functions {minix_stack_params(), minix_stack_fill()} and using them
in execve(), rs and vm.
* Changed load offset of rtld (ld.so) to:
execi.args.stack_high - execi.args.stack_size - 0xa00000
which is 10MB below the main executable stack.

The main motivation for this change is that only Loris supports
multithreading, and Loris supports dynamic thread allocation, so the
number of supported threads can be implemented as a bit flag (i.e.,
either 1 or "at least as many as VFS has"). The ABI break obviates the
need to support file system versioning at this time, and several
other aspects are better implemented as flags as well. Other changes:
- replace peek/bpeek test upon mount with FS flag as well;
- mark libsffs as 64-bit file size capable;
- remove old (3.2.1) getdents support.

- pass in file system type through mount(2), and return this type in
statvfs structures as generated by [f]statvfs(2);
- align mount flags field with NetBSD's, splitting out service flags
which are not to be passed to VFS;
- remove limitation of mount ABI to 16-byte labels, so that labels
can be made larger in the future;
- introduce new m11 message union type for mount(2) as side effect.

The following types are modified (old -> new):
* _BSD_USECONDS_T_ int -> unsigned int
* __socklen_t __int32_t -> __uint32_t
* blksize_t uint32_t -> int32_t
* rlim_t uint32_t -> uint64_t
On ARM:
* _BSD_CLOCK_T_ int -> unsigned int
On Intel:
* _BSD_CLOCK_T_ int -> unsigned long
bin/cat is also updated in order to fix warnings.
_BSD_TIMER_T_ has still to be aligned.

During startup machine.board_id is now determined. The kernel can now
at runtime determine how to configure itself and does so.

On startup determine the board_id based on the board name
passed from u-boot. This code also export "board" for use
by userland using sysenv.

Modified the machine struct in include/minix/type.h to have an
additional field called board_id. This fields can be read out
by userland and drivers at runtime to enable automatic
configuration. The board_id field contains information about
the hardware architecture / board and such.

A script that creates a HD image ready to be booted by an x86
emulator, ready to work in a crossbuild environment.
It's really just for qemu/kvm as there's no boot code in
the MBR and no bootloader installed so we rely on the in-kvm
multiboot implementation for now. This is very convenient for
passing args too.
To minimize reliance on external tools, we use the Minix
'partition' utility to write the partition table of the HD
image, which therefore has to be compiled natively.
. new script releasetools/x86_hdimage.sh
. natively compile minix 'partition' utility
. make <machine/partition.h> 64-bit safe for it

Many i2c device drivers used similar code to access registers on
the ICs they drive. This commit implements that functionality in
libi2cdriver and updates the drivers to use the library instead of
their own register access functions. The net result is 375+ fewer
lines of code and less work for people developing new drivers.
The two exceptions were cat24c256 and parts of tda19988. They access
the bus in uncommon ways. It doesn't make sense at this time to
move their read/write functions into libi2cdriver.

* port libgpio to am335x.
* increase NR_IRQ to 16 to avoid too many IRQs requested error.
* move gpio binary to /sbin (that's where mount looks for drivers).
* fix bug that re-enabled banks that were disabled due to bad revision.
* fix padconf masks for dm37xx in gpio driver (should be 16-bit).
* fix a few typos in README.txt and comments.

On the AM335X, writes to the padconf registers must be done in privileged
mode. To allow userspace drivers to dynamically change the padconf at
runtime, a kernel call has been added.

Previously, all incoming messages would be blocked before a DL_CONF
message arrives from the TCP/IP stack. This however makes it impossible
for a driver to process interrupts before the DL_CONF initialization.
This patch blocks only datalink messages before the initial DL_CONF,
and lets through all other messages to the driver.

- the message field for RTCDEV_GRANT wasn't the right type.

The VM server now manages its call masks such that all user processes
share the same call mask. As a result, an update for the call mask of
any user process will apply to all user processes. This is similar to
the privilege infrastructure employed by the kernel, and may serve as
a template for similar fine-grained restrictions in other servers.
Concretely, this patch fixes the problem of "service edit init" not
applying the given VM call mask to user processes started from RC
scripts during system startup.
In addition, this patch makes RS set a proper VM call mask for each
recovery script it spawns.
