565f13088f make vfs & filesystems use failable copying
Change the kernel to add features to vircopy and safecopies so that
transparent copy fixing won't happen to avoid deadlocks, and such copies
fail with EFAULT.

Transparently making copying work from filesystems (as normally done by
the kernel & VM when copying fails because of missing/readonly memory)
is problematic as it can happen that, for file-mapped ranges, that that
same filesystem that is blocked on the copy request is needed to satisfy
the memory range, leading to deadlock. Dito for VFS itself, if done with
a blocking call.

This change makes the copying done from a filesystem fail in such cases
with EFAULT by VFS adding the CPF_TRY flag to the grants. If a FS call
fails with EFAULT, VFS will then request the range to be made available
to VM after the FS is unblocked, allowing it to be used to satisfy the
range if need be in another VFS thread.

Similarly, for datacopies that VFS itself does, it uses the failable
vircopy variant and callers use a wrapper that talk to VM if necessary
to get the copy to work.

	. kernel: add CPF_TRY flag to safecopies
	. kernel: only request writable ranges to VM for the
	  target buffer when copying fails
	. do copying in VFS TRY-first
	. some fixes in VM to build SANITYCHECK mode
	. add regression test for the cases where
	  - a FS system call needs memory mapped in a process that the
	    FS itself must map.
	  - such a range covers more than one file-mapped region.
	. add 'try' mode to vircopy, physcopy
	. add flags field to copy kernel call messages
	. if CP_FLAG_TRY is set, do not transparently try
	  to fix memory ranges
	. for use by VFS when accessing user buffers to avoid
	  deadlock
	. remove some obsolete backwards compatability assignments
        . VFS: let thread scheduling work for VM requests too
          Allows VFS to make calls to VM while suspending and resuming
          the currently running thread. Does currently not work for the
          main thread.
        . VM: add fix memory range call for use by VFS

cfd3379bb1 Removing CSU patches
* Removed startup code patches in lib/csu regarding kernel to userland
   ABI.

 * Aligned stack layout on NetBSD stack layout.

 * Generate valid stack pointers instead of offsets by taking into account
   _minix_kerninfo->kinfo->user_sp.

 * Refactored stack generation, by moving part of execve in two
   functions {minix_stack_params(), minix_stack_fill()} and using them
   in execve(), rs and vm.

 * Changed load offset of rtld (ld.so) to:
      execi.args.stack_high - execi.args.stack_size - 0xa00000
   which is 10MB below the main executable stack.

aa94c9ed55 arm:switch to dynamic configuration for the kernel.
During startup machine.board_id is now determined. The kernel can now
at runtime determine how to configure itself and does so.

3139ce9631 arm:omap timers remove hardcoded base address.
Omap timers remove hardcoded base address and add some initial
support for the beaglebone's timers. Frclock_util will need
refactoring to remain independent of the ARM flavour.

db8c1ee9d0 ARM: provide free running clock to replace ccnt
The Cycle CouNTer on ARM cannot be used reliably as it wraps around
rather quickly and can be altered by user space (on Minix). Furthermore,
it's buggy when wrapping and is not implemented at all on the Linaro
Beagleboard emulator.

This patch programs GPTIMER10 as a free running clock at 1.625 MHz (it
doesn't generate interrupts). It's memory mapped into every process,
which enables libsys to provide micro_delay().

b1c4ba4ab6 ARM updates
Due to the ABI we are using we have to use the earm architecture
moniker for the build system to behave correctly. This involves
then some headers to move around.

There is also a few related Makefile updates as well as minor
source code corrections.
