2fe8fb192f Full switch to clang/ELF. Drop ack. Simplify.
There is important information about booting non-ack images in
docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and
booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the
new boot monitor is recommended.

Changes in this commit:

	. drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support
	. facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor
	  can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING
	. no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries
	. some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases
	. drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support
	  commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet).
	. a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir
	. new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/
	. test compile fix
	. harmonize includes
	. /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no
	  kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping
	  is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even
	  less on the state of the machine making them now.
	. rename nbsd_lib* to lib*
	. reduce mtree

2487445f5f make panic() work for multiboot/elf case
. we cannot use the boot monitor to print the system diag buffer
	. for serial, we do nothing, just reset, everything is already printed
	. for not-serial, we print the current diag buffer using direct video
	  memory access from the kernel

5c0927e108 SMP - clock calibration spurious IRQ deadlock fix
- this patch fixes a deadlock which may occur if we get a
   spurious interrupt while calibrating clocks during the boot
   time. Since we never handle interrupts while in the kernel
   (BKL locked) the interrupt code locks the lock. This is a
   different situation, a corner case, boot time only. We do not
   return to userspace but to the kernel, so the BKL is not
   unlocked. So we need irq handler which leaves the BKL
   unlocked.  The clock handler does it already, this patch adds
   a dummy spurious irq handler for the same reason. It is better
   to handle the situation this way to keep the normal runtime
   code simple.

c468f4efa5 SMP - no_apic=0 and acpi=1 set when CONFIG_SMP=y
- this is a temporary change which makes images compiled for SMP
  boot in SMP mode by default.

- this change is needed until we can configure the multiboot
  images from the boot loader again.

8fa95abae4 SMP - fixed usage of stale TLB entries
- when kernel copies from userspace, it must be sure that the TLB
  entries are not stale and thus the referenced memory is correct

- everytime we change a process' address space we set p_stale_tlb
  bits for all CPUs.

- Whenever a cpu finds its bit set when it wants to access the
  process' memory, it refreshes the TLB

- it is more conservative than it needs to be but it has low
  overhead than checking precisely

0a55e63413 SMP - fixed IPI livelock
- two CPUs can issue IPI to each other now without any hazzard

- we must be able to handle synchronous scheduling IPIs from
  other CPUs when we are waiting for attention from another one.
  Otherwise we might livelock.

- necessary barriers to prevent reordering

	  handler) but also the stacktrace of when the exception
	  happened

c51cd5fe91 Server/driver protocols: no longer allow third-party copies.
Before safecopies, the IO_ENDPT and DL_ENDPT message fields were needed
to know which actual process to copy data from/to, as that process may
not always be the caller. Now that we have full safecopy support, these
fields have become useless for that purpose: the owner of the grant is
*always* the caller. Allowing the caller to supply another endpoint is
in fact dangerous, because the callee may then end up using a grant
from a third party. One could call this a variant of the confused
deputy problem.

From now on, safecopy calls should always use the caller's endpoint as
grant owner. This fully obsoletes the DL_ENDPT field in the
inet/ethernet protocol. IO_ENDPT has other uses besides identifying the
grant owner though. This patch renames IO_ENDPT to USER_ENDPT, not only
because that is a more fitting name (it should never be used for I/O
after all), but also in order to intentionally break any old system
source code outside the base system. If this patch breaks your code,
fixing it is fairly simple:

- DL_ENDPT should be replaced with m_source;
- IO_ENDPT should be replaced with m_source when used for safecopies;
- IO_ENDPT should be replaced with USER_ENDPT for any other use, e.g.
  when setting REP_ENDPT, matching requests in CANCEL calls, getting
  DEV_SELECT flags, and retrieving of the real user process's endpoint
  in DEV_OPEN.

The changes in this patch are binary backward compatible.

9e01a83636 SMP - reduced TLB flushing
- flush TLB of processes only if the page tables has been changed and
  the page tables of this process are already loaded on this cpu which
  means that there might be stale entries in TLB. Until now SMP was
  always flushing TLB to make sure everything is consistent.
