c977bd8709 Added args to lock() and unlock() to tell them apart, for use
when lock timing is enabled in minix/config.h.

Added phys_zero() routine to klib386.s that zeroes a range of memory, and
added corresponding system call.

0165662cd9 Replaced flagalrm() timers with another technique to check for timeouts.
This allowed removing the p_flagarlm timer from the kernel's process table.
Furthermore, I merged p_syncalrm and p_signalrm into p_alarm_timer to save
even more space. Note that processes can no longer have both a signal and
synchronous alarm timer outstanding as of now.

322ec9ef8b Moved stime, time, times POSIX calls from FS to PM. Removed child time
accounting from kernel (now in PM).  Large amount of files in this commit
is due to system time problems during development.

c2be104821 Improved NOTIFY system: fixed a minor error, ignore pending notifications
on SENDREC system calls. To be done: resource (buffer pool) management;
make it structurally impossible to run out of buffers.

ccd17ecfed New NOTIFY system call! Queued at kernel. Duplicate messages (with same source
and type) are overwritten with newer flags/ arguments. The interface from
within the kernel is lock_notify(). User processes can make a system call with
notify(). NOTIFY fully replaces the old notification mechanism.
