391fd926ff TASK_PRIVILEGE and level0() removed
- there are no tasks running, we don't need TASK_PRIVILEGE priviledge anymore

- as there is no ring 1 anymore, there is no need for level0() to call sensitive
  code from ring 1 in ring 0

- 286 related macros removed as clean up

728f0f0c49 Removal of the system task
* Userspace change to use the new kernel calls

	- _taskcall(SYSTASK...) changed to _kernel_call(...)

	- int 32 reused for the kernel calls

	- _do_kernel_call() to make the trap to kernel

	- kernel_call() to make the actuall kernel call from C using
	  _do_kernel_call()

	- unlike ipc call the kernel call always succeeds as kernel is
	  always available, however, kernel may return an error

* Kernel side implementation of kernel calls

	- the SYSTEm task does not run, only the proc table entry is
	  preserved

	- every data_copy(SYSTEM is no data_copy(KERNEL

	- "locking" is an empty operation now as everything runs in
	  kernel

	- sys_task() is replaced by kernel_call() which copies the
	  message into kernel, dispatches the call to its handler and
	  finishes by either copying the results back to userspace (if
	  need be) or by suspending the process because of VM

	- suspended processes are later made runnable once the memory
	  issue is resolved, picked up by the scheduler and only at
	  this time the call is resumed (in fact restarted) which does
	  not need to copy the message from userspace as the message
	  is already saved in the process structure.

	- no ned for the vmrestart queue, the scheduler will restart
	  the system calls

	- no special case in do_vmctl(), all requests remove the
	  RTS_VMREQUEST flag

dac531addf Support for VMWare Workstation 6.x
VMWare Workstation 6.x would previously die when running MINIX 3 with an
IOSPACE assertion and several error messages about multiply registered
I/O ports. The assertion is triggered when we probe for BAR sizes in
record_bar(). The solution: The PCI driver now disables I/O and mem
access before probing for BAR sizes.

Bumped up NR_PCIDEV and NR_PCIBUS, since Workstation 6.x virtualizes
more PCI buses and devices.

b00f287449 Restore user-owned bits from PSW after a signal handler, instead of
copying complete PSW after signal handler.

This fixes a psw corruption bug reported by Jens de Smit <jst260@few.vu.nl>.

6f77685609 Split of architecture-dependent and -independent functions for i386,
mainly in the kernel and headers. This split based on work by
Ingmar Alting <iaalting@cs.vu.nl> done for his Minix PowerPC architecture
port.

 . kernel does not program the interrupt controller directly, do any
   other architecture-dependent operations, or contain assembly any more,
   but uses architecture-dependent functions in arch/$(ARCH)/.
 . architecture-dependent constants and types defined in arch/$(ARCH)/include.
 . <ibm/portio.h> moved to <minix/portio.h>, as they have become, for now,
   architecture-independent functions.
 . int86, sdevio, readbios, and iopenable are now i386-specific kernel calls
   and live in arch/i386/do_* now.
 . i386 arch now supports even less 86 code; e.g. mpx86.s and klib86.s have
   gone, and 'machine.protected' is gone (and always taken to be 1 in i386).
   If 86 support is to return, it should be a new architecture.
 . prototypes for the architecture-dependent functions defined in
   kernel/arch/$(ARCH)/*.c but used in kernel/ are in kernel/proto.h
 . /etc/make.conf included in makefiles and shell scripts that need to
   know the building architecture; it defines ARCH=<arch>, currently only
   i386.
 . some basic per-architecture build support outside of the kernel (lib)
 . in clock.c, only dequeue a process if it was ready
 . fixes for new include files

files deleted:
 . mpx/klib.s - only for choosing between mpx/klib86 and -386
 . klib86.s - only for 86

i386-specific files files moved (or arch-dependent stuff moved) to arch/i386/:
 . mpx386.s (entry point)
 . klib386.s
 . sconst.h
 . exception.c
 . protect.c
 . protect.h
 . i8269.c

ENABLE_K_LOCKCHECK in config.h.

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.
