Keep kernel and modules in the first 256MB of memory in preparation
for the beaglebone. That target only has 256 MB of memory.

Removed hardcoded base address for in kernel serial. This will ease
porting to different boards and allow us to remap i/o at later stage.

Simplify the in kernel serial header to a minimum. The driver doing
the real handling is the tty driver.

We are planning on using the NetBSD config system to perform build
system configuration when targeting different hardware variants.
This functionality however is not integrated yet and we currently
rely on using ifdef's in the code. This commit add the DDM37XX flag.

- Added the possibility to define the number of parallel jobs from the
command line with (example, default is 1):
$ JOBS=8 ./releasetools/arm_sdimage.sh
- Generate filesystem filling the reserved partition area, instead of
being smaller.
- Added a possibility to specify additional parameter to the build.sh
script from the command line with (example):
$ BUILDVARS='-N0 -V MYVAR=yes' ./releasetools/arm_sdimage.sh

Previously, if a proto file was given, the -b argument would be ignored.
Also added:
- if the number of inodes is not given, then an estimation is used.
- sanity checks where moved from one special case to the general case.

A few symlinks were pointing to a nonexistent file named '(null)'
instead of their intended target. This was only seen when using the
arm_sdimage.sh script.
There is two ways of specifying links and directories. the first one
using an entry in one of the mtree files, and the second one in
/etc/Makefile.
Those entries where doubled, and one of them would specify some rights,
while the other had the target.
By removing those entries, I make sure there is only one definition of
these symlinks, which solves the problem I was seeing on an ARM image.
These symlinks are still present on a generated system, as they are
required.

mkfs -d is a feature that needs a stat() of the mkfs binary, which
often fails (as mkfs is often not invoked with a full path or from
the same directory). it makes setup look a bit messy as the error
is always printed while installing the system, for each created FS,
even though the situation is harmless. This change only complains
when the stat is actually needed (-d).

. an instruction fetch pagefault generates a prefetch
abort exception, this should also be a source of
a pagefault event
. the saved_lr argument to the C exception handler was
sometimes an address, sometimes a pointer to that address;
the kernel sometimes dereferences it, so it should always be
an in-kernel address, never a userspace address. fix in mpx.S
makes it always a pointer.
. move dumping of all processes over serial out of
the arch-specific arch_system.c
* restored the zone>block stuff
* generalized the support for more-than-1-block bitmaps to also deal
with big inodes maps in small blocks
* improved pexit() to printf-like syntax; also replaced pexit() with
err() or errx() where there are no reference to proto lines
* unified the allocation of blocks to all use alloc_block() instead
of raw malloc half of the time
* removed the V2_ d2_ etc. prefixes which are obscure and obsolete
While here, also
* used new-form definitions, and closer to KNF style in general
* used often-built-ins such as mem* or strncpy where relevant
* pruned a fair amount of constants which are irrelevant
Thanks to Thomas V. and Lionel who did a good amount of work with the
cross-compilation stuff and made that change to be much smoother.

. add receive hooks in the kernel to print asynchronously
delivered messages
. do not rely on MF_REPLY_PEND to decide between calls and errors,
as that isn't reliable for asynchronous messages; try both instead
. add _sendcall() that extract-mfield.sh can then reliably recognize
the fields for messages that are sent with just send()
. add DEBUG_DUMPIPC_NAMES to restrict printed messages to
from/to given process names

The natural term to use when talking about MINIX big pages on ARM
is SECTION. A section is a level 1 page table entry pointing to
a 1MB area.

libminixfs may now be informed of changes to the block usage on the
filesystem. if the net change becomes big enough, libminixfs may
resize the cache based on the new usage.
. update the 2 FSes to provide this information to libminixfs

This commit introduces a new request type called REQ_BPEEK. It
requests minor device blocks from the FS. Analogously to REQ_PEEK,
it requests the filesystem to get the requested blocks into its
cache, without actually copying the result anywhere.

In libexec, split the memory allocation method into cleared and
non-cleared. Cleared gives zeroed memory, non-cleared gives 'junk'
memory (that will be overwritten anyway, and so needn't be cleared)
that is faster to get.
Also introduce the 'memmap' method that can be used, if available,
to map code and data from executables into a process using the
third-party mmap() mode.

. use lmfs_* cache functions that provide the cache with inode
metadata whenever applicable, i.e. tell the cache code which
inode number and in-inode offset a particular cache block
corresponds to.
. needed for mmap implementation
Change-Id: Ic7d3c0c49029880f86a31368278722e907bc2896
Primary purpose of change: to support the mmap implementation, VM must
know both (a) about some block metadata for FS cache blocks, i.e.
inode numbers and inode offsets where applicable; and (b) know about
*all* cache blocks, i.e. also of the FS primary caches and not just
the blocks that spill into the secondary one. This changes the
interface and VM data structures.
This change is only for the interface (libminixfs) and VM data
structures; the filesystem code is unmodified, so although the
secondary cache will be used as normal, blocks will not be annotated
with inode information until the FS is modified to provide this
information. Until it is modified, mmap of files will fail gracefully
on such filesystems.
This is indicated to VFS/VM by returning ENOSYS for REQ_PEEK.

Memory types in VM are described by methods. Each mapped region has
a type, and all pages instantiated get that type on creation.
Individual page types has to be able to change though. This commit
changes the code to use the memory types of the individual pages,
where appropriate, instead of just the higher-level region, in case
it has changed. This is needed to e.g. support future copy-on-write
MAP_PRIVATE mmap modes.

Some (backwards-compatible) changes in mmap() call message fields
that allow for a 64-bit offset. minix_mmap() takes an off_t and
minix_mmap64() takes a u64_t. Some mmap() work in VM goes into a
separate function, using the new fields, so that that can be re-used
when files are to be mapped (future commit).

The filesystems already implement REQ_PEEK, but do not fully
use the new filesystem cache code yet. (Because it isn't committed
yet..) REQ_PEEK should be disabled for them until they do.
This indicates to VFS that they are not annotating their cache
blocks (in VM) with inode number/offset info, and therefore mmap()
shouldn't succeed on any of their files. (Most importantly exec()
won't fallback elegantly otherwise.)

This commit removes the secondary cache code implementation from
VM and its usage from libminixfs. It is to be replaced by a new
implementation.

There where two reasons for needing root access while making ARM builds. The
first reason was that we needed root permissions to create device nodes and
assign permissions to files. The second reason we needed root was that we used
loop mounted files to copy the build output to the file backed storage.
The first problem is solved by building in unprivileged mode (adding -U) during
compilation. The second problem is solved by using mcopy to put files on the
fat partition and use the mkfs.mfs proto files to create MFS file system.
Future work might be to replace this script by the netbsd makefs tool.
