close()d).

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().

6a911b5284 Merge of minix-vmd symlink code.
. new_node() now returns inode of parent dir as argument that
	  has to be put_node()d again by the caller of new_node().
	  it can also return the name of the last component as last_dir()
	  did.
	. advance() takes a pointer to a pointer of an inode as the
	  parent now. This parent can change, in which case the old
	  one is put_node()d and a new one is put there.
	. eat_path() replaced by more flexible parse_path()
	. last_dir() replaced by call to parse_path().
	. do_slink(), do_readlink(), do_lstat() and slink_traverse() added.

Also added some truncate()/ftruncate()-introduction related changes.
(e.g. renamed truncate() to truncate_inode().)
