8f3fbf7cc1 Cleanup: Remove minix.bootprog.mk
The build system distinction between "bootprog" and "service" is
meaningless as boot programs are standard services.

As minix.service.mk simply imports minix.bootprog.mk, reduce confusion
by removing minix.bootprog.mk and placing the rules in minix.service.mk.

f93afa00e9 Remove MINIXSRCDIR and use NETBSDSRCDIR
NETBSDSRCDIR is used all over the place anyway, and this reduces
our diff with NetBSD a little.

b4cf88a04f Userspace scheduling
- cotributed by Bjorn Swift

- In this first phase, scheduling is moved from the kernel to the PM
  server. The next steps are to a) moving scheduling to its own server
  and b) include useful information in the "out of quantum" message,
  so that the scheduler can make use of this information.

- The kernel process table now keeps record of who is responsible for
  scheduling each process (p_scheduler). When this pointer is NULL,
  the process will be scheduled by the kernel. If such a process runs
  out of quantum, the kernel will simply renew its quantum an requeue
  it.

- When PM loads, it will take over scheduling of all running
  processes, except system processes, using sys_schedctl().
  Essentially, this only results in taking over init. As children
  inherit a scheduler from their parent, user space programs forked by
  init will inherit PM (for now) as their scheduler.

 - Once a process has been assigned a scheduler, and runs out of
   quantum, its RTS_NO_QUANTUM flag will be set and the process
   dequeued. The kernel will send a message to the scheduler, on the
   process' behalf, informing the scheduler that it has run out of
   quantum. The scheduler can take what ever action it pleases, based
   on its policy, and then reschedule the process using the
   sys_schedule() system call.

- Balance queues does not work as before. While the old in-kernel
  function used to renew the quantum of processes in the highest
  priority run queue, the user-space implementation only acts on
  processes that have been bumped down to a lower priority queue.
  This approach reacts slower to changes than the old one, but saves
  us sending a sys_schedule message for each process every time we
  balance the queues. Currently, when processes are moved up a
  priority queue, their quantum is also renewed, but this can be
  fiddled with.

- do_nice has been removed from kernel. PM answers to get- and
  setpriority calls, updates it's own nice variable as well as the
  max_run_queue. This will be refactored once scheduling is moved to a
  separate server. We will probably have PM update it's local nice
  value and then send a message to whoever is scheduling the process.

- changes to fix an issue in do_fork() where processes could run out
  of quantum but bypassing the code path that handles it correctly.
  The future plan is to remove the policy from do_fork() and implement
  it in userspace too.

bef0e3eb63 - Add support for the ucontext system calls (getcontext, setcontext,
swapcontext, and makecontext).
- Fix VM to not erroneously think the stack segment and data segment have
  collided when a user-space thread invokes brk().
- Add test51 to test ucontext functionality.
- Add man pages for ucontext system calls.

1f9ce647cf Move archtypes.h, fpu.h, and stackframe.h
Move archtypes.h to include/ dir, since several servers require it. Move
fpu.h and stackframe.h to arch-specific header directory. Make source
files and makefiles aware of the new header locations.

5f497bcf22 - Introduce some macros for field names, so that endpt, pendpt,
addr and taddr don't have to be defined any more, so that <sys/mman.h>
    can be included for proper prototypes of munmap() and friends.
  - rename our GETPID to MINIX_GETPID to avoid a name conflict with
    other sources
  - PM needs its own munmap() and munmap_text() to avoid sending messages
    to VM at the startup phase. It *does* want to do that, but only
    after initialising. So they're called again with unmap_ok set to 1
    later.
  - getnuid(), getngid() implementation

3cc092ff06 . new kernel call sysctl for generic unprivileged system operations;
now used for printing diagnostic messages through the kernel message
   buffer. this lets processes print diagnostics without sending messages
   to tty and log directly, simplifying the message protocol a lot and
   reducing difficulties with deadlocks and other situations in which
   diagnostics are blackholed (e.g. grants don't work). this makes
   DIAGNOSTICS(_S), ASYN_DIAGNOSTICS and DIAG_REPL obsolete, although tty
   and log still accept the codes for 'old' binaries. This also simplifies
   diagnostics in several servers and drivers - only tty needs its own
   kputc() now.
 . simplifications in vfs, and some effort to get the vnode references
   right (consistent) even during shutdown. m_mounted_on is now NULL
   for root filesystems (!) (the original and new root), a less awkward
   special case than 'm_mounted_on == m_root_node'. root now has exactly
   one reference, to root, if no files are open, just like all other
   filesystems. m_driver_e is unused.

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
