53002f6f6c recognize and execute dynamically linked executables
. generalize libexec slightly to get some more necessary information
	  from ELF files, e.g. the interpreter
	. execute dynamically linked executables when exec()ed by VFS
	. switch to netbsd variant of elf32.h exclusively, solves some
	  conflicting headers

927b9ef243 kernel: align gdt and idt base addresses
patch my fdmanana:
As recommended by the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Developer's
Manual Volume 3A, the GDT and IDT base addresses should be aligned on an
8 byte boundary to yield better processor performance.

6659ae1fc3 Fix booting into single user mode
Due to a shift, mountfstab was unable to locate the fstab file and
mount other file systems causing a number of errors to be generated.

26ec619a30 VFS: fix filp reuse race
Pipes consist of two filps (read filp and write filp) and a shared
vnode. When the writer leaves the filp reference count drops to
zero and subsequent find_filp()s should not find the filp when a
reader looks for it and the reader gets EOF. However, the pipe()
system call tries to find two filps, marks them in use, and only
after a successful node creation on PFS, overwrites the shared
vnode with the new vnode. Consequently, this leaves a small window
where a just closed 'pipe write filp' gets reused and marked as
present, before becoming the actual new 'pipe write filp' for a new
pipe. A reader for the old pipe will think a writer is present and
wait for that writer to write something or to leave; both actions
should revive the suspended reader. This will never happen and the
reader will be stuck forever.

ca7a466f48 TTY: don't allow multiple readers on tty minor
TTY has no way of keeping track of multiple readers for a tty minor
device. Instead, it stores a read request for the last reader only.
Consequently, the first ("overwritten") reader gets stuck on a read
request that's never going to be finished. Also, the overwriting
causes a grant mismatch in VFS when TTY returns a reply for the
second reader.

This patch is a work around for the actual problem (i.e., keeping track
of multiple readers). It checks whether there is a read operation in
progress and returns an error if it is --preventing that reader from
getting overwritten and stuck. It fixes a bug triggered by executing
'top | more' and pressing the space bar for a while (easily reproducable
in a VM, not on hardware).

91a38b6d4e VFS: fix dead lock
When running out of worker threads to handle device replies a dead
lock resolver thread is used. However, it was only used for FS
endpoints; it is now used for "system processes" (drivers and FS
endpoints). Also, drivers were marked as system process when they
were not "forced" to map (i.e., mapping was done before endpoint was
alive).

8f55767619 VFS: make m_in job local
By making m_in job local (i.e., each job has its own copy of m_in instead
of refering to the global m_in) we don't have to store and restore m_in
on every thread yield. This reduces overhead. Moreover, remove the
assumption that m_in is preserved. Do_XXX functions have to copy the
system call parameters as soon as possible and only pass those copies to
other functions.

Furthermore, this patch cleans up some code and uses better types in a lot
of places.

ef7b484e5c Create SFFS library out of HGFS
This Shared Folders File System library (libsffs) now contains all the

now a stub that passes on all the work to libsffs. The libhgfs library
is changed accordingly.

1e399dd8bd various kernel printing fixes
. remove some call cycles by low-level functions invoking printf(); e.g.
	  send_sig() gets a return value that the caller should check
	. reason: very-early-phase printf() would trigger a printf() causing
	  infinite recursion -> GPF
	. move serial initialization a little earlier so DEBUG_EXTRA works for
	  serial earlier (e.g. its first instance, for "cstart")
	. closes tracker item 583:
	  System Fails to Complete Startup with Verbose 2 and 3 Boot Parameters,
	  reported by Stephen Hatton / pikpik.
