c9ab8cce43 Changed minor number of /dev/zero from 6 to 5.
(Make sure to update your system accordingly or /dev/zero won't work.)
Cleaned up comments in MEMORY driver.

74711a3b14 Check if kernel calls is allowed (from process' call mask) added. Not yet
enforced. If a call is denied, this will be kprinted. Please report any such
errors, so that I can adjust the mask before returning errors instead of
warnings.

Wrote CMOS driver. All CMOS code from FS has been removed. Currently the
driver only supports get time calls. Set time is left out as an exercise
for the book readers ... startup scripts were updated because the CMOS driver
is needed early on. (IS got same treatment.) Don't forget to run MAKEDEV cmos
in /dev/, otherwise the driver cannot be loaded.

Fixed drivers. HARD_STOP message no longer exists.

0129d98ae1 Added new signal types for kernel events:
- SIGKMESS: new kernel message (sent to TTY, IS, or LOG)
- SIGKSTOP: MINIX is shut down (sent to TTY-> switch to primary console)
- SIGKSIG: kernel signals pending (sent to PM)

Renamed SYS_SETPRIORITY to SYS_NICE.

8c024e28a1 Changed Makefiles: drivers are now installed in /usr/sbin.
TTY now gets SYS_EVENT message with sigset (e.g., SIGKMESS, SIGKSTOP).

640eb73ca2 New log driver; buffers messages and makes them available to userland.
Added some fields in the generic device table to support this driver
using libdriver. Updated other drivers to fill these fields with nops
and NULLs.

f2a85e58d9 Various updates.
* Removed some variants of the SYS_GETINFO calls from the kernel;
  replaced them with new PM and utils libary functionality. Fixed
  bugs in utils library that used old get_kenv() variant.
* Implemented a buffer in the kernel to gather random data.
  Memory driver periodically checks this for /dev/random.
  A better random algorithm can now be implemented in the driver.
  Removed SYS_RANDOM; the SYS_GETINFO call is used instead.
* Remove SYS_KMALLOC from the kernel. Memory allocation can now
  be done at the process manager with new 'other' library functions.

e782e76944 Created new findproc system call to the PM (to replace similar kernel
functionality). Currently working on memory allocation (not yet finished).

6d23f072f3 Cleaned up src/lib/utils library. Renamed server_ functions to more logical
names. All system processes can now either use panic() or report() from
libutils, or redefine their own function. Assertions are done via the standard
<assert.h> functionality.
