5acaa0814f kernel, ramdisk: some boot unification
To use the new SD building script, Linux has to be configured with
loop.max_part=15 on the command line (or set at module load time)
to make the loopback device see the partitions.

This commit removes a lot of differences between the ARM and x86
boot ramdisk and rc scripts. It changes the ARM build from running
from ramdisk to requiring a full filesystem on the SD image and
booting into it.

	. ramdisk: remove some arm-only utilities only used for running
	  from the shell
	. remove ARM-only rc.arm, proto.arm.small, ttys and mylogin.sh
	  boot-time ramdisk files
	. change kernel to add "arch" variable so userland knows what
	  we're running on from sysenv
	. make ARM use the regular ramdisk rc file, changed to distinguish
	  i386-only and ARM-only drivers; requires rootdevname to be set
	. change /etc/rc and /usr/etc/rc to start i386-only drivers only on
	  i386 systems
	. change the kernel/arm to have a special case for the memory
	  driver to load it higher so it can be bigger
	. add uEnv.txt, cmdline.txt and a for now highly linux-dependent
	  SD preparation script arm_sdimage.sh to the git repository in
	  releasetools/

2aa82a9c7b ARM: kernel: fix sanity check for copying
. phys_copy() (taken from memcpy) can legitimately
	  cause pagefaults below the source/dest address due
	  to word-alignment

First round, some more optimizations are possible and should be

b36292e232 ARM: Fix interrupt management
Interrupts where not correctly masked while in kernel, which
breaks one of the current main assumptions.

Also remove some duplication on ARM asm files, and add a function
to check the status of ARM irqs (not compiled by default)

3bc6d7df06 impove memory accounting
. the total amount of memory in the system didn't include the memory
	  used by the boot-time modules and some dynamic allocation by the
	  kernel at boot time (to map in VM). especially apparent on our
	  ARM board with 'only' 512MB of memory and a huge ramdisk.
	. also: *add* the VM loaded module to the freelist after it has
	  been allocated for & mapped in instead of cutting it *out* of the
	  freelist! so we get a few more MB free..

5a0585359d ARM divsi3.S: raise(SIGFPE) when called for
. raise(SIGFPE) for modulo-0/divide-0 operations in
	  internal int division functions
	. gcc: do not link with -lgcc anywhere so these internal
	  functions are always used from libc instead of (sometimes)
	  masked by -lgcc
	. together fixes test53 on ARM

298b41b523 libexec: detect short files
if an exec() fails partway through reading in the sections, the target
process is already gone and a defunct process remains. sanity checking
the binary beforehand helps that.

test10 mutilates binaries and exec()s them on purpose; making an exec()
fail cleanly in such cases seems like acceptable behaviour.

fixes test10 on ARM.

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().

e3e5cf6d34 arm: make signal handlers work
A few kernel and calling convention adjustments to make sigsend and
sigreturn work for arm.

	. provide a arch_proc_setcontext for earm in kernel
	. set LR in context of signal handler to provide a proper
	  return address (to __sigreturn)
	. change __sigreturn to retrieve the sigcontext pointer
	  from the sigframe struct and pass it to _sigreturn() in r0

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.
