b8b8f537bd IPC privileges fixes
Kernel:
o Remove s_ipc_sendrec, instead using s_ipc_to for all send primitives
o Centralize s_ipc_to bit manipulation,
  - disallowing assignment of bits pointing to unused priv structs;
  - preventing send-to-self by not setting bit for own priv struct;
  - preserving send mask matrix symmetry in all cases
o Add IPC send mask checks to SENDA, which were missing entirely somehow
o Slightly improve IPC stats accounting for SENDA
o Remove SYSTEM from user processes' send mask
o Half-fix the dependency between boot image order and process numbers,
  - correcting the table order of the boot processes;
  - documenting the order requirement needed for proper send masks;
  - warning at boot time if the order is violated

RS:
o Add support in /etc/drivers.conf for servers that talk to user processes,
  - disallowing IPC to user processes if no "ipc" field is present
  - adding a special "USER" label to explicitly allow IPC to user processes
o Always apply IPC masks when specified; remove -i flag from service(8)
o Use kernel send mask symmetry to delay adding IPC permissions for labels
  that do not exist yet, adding them to that label's process upon creation
o Add VM to ipc permissions list for rtl8139 and fxp in drivers.conf

Left to future fixes:
o Removal of the table order vs process numbers dependency altogether,
  possibly using per-process send list structures as used for SYSTEM calls
o Proper assignment of send masks to boot processes;
  some of the assigned (~0) masks are much wider than necessary
o Proper assignment of IPC send masks for many more servers in drivers.conf
o Removal of the debugging warning about the now legitimate case where RS's
  add_forward_ipc cannot find the IPC destination's label yet

bdab3c4cfb Library call for cpu features; make kernel and vm use this to query cpu
features (specifically: 4MB pages and TLB global bit).  Only enable
these features in CR4 if available. 4MB pages to be used in the near
future.

-Update startup banner.

c2aef85eda Clear trace bit for child on fork.
Without this, a forking single-stepped process will have its child
die from a TRAP signal right away.

e3ca89c0be more sanity checking. sanity checking disabled by default.
give every process a full pagetable by default now.

first step to disabling kernel page table code (processes
might not have page tables -> no address translation).

away on cr3 reload. minor optimization.

e0f3a5acf1 - enable ipc warnings by default
- ipc checking code in kernel didn't properly catch the
   sendrec() to self case; added special case check
 - triggered by PM using stock panic() - needs its own _exit()

9647fbc94e moved type and constants for random data to include file;
added consistency check in random; added source of randomness
internal to random using timing; only retrieve random bins that are full.

c628f24bc2 moved stacktrace to sysctl, as vmctl is very privileged so can't
be used outside VM. IS code cleanup. added stacktrace feature to IS.

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.

9d096e014b . print kernel stacktrace unconditionally on panic

b61687fb1b . VM needs a higher priority than VFS, PM etc
. introduce FULLVM flag: MEMORY and the initial MFS
   get their own full address spaces, making their stacks
   and heaps not preallocated (well, freed after VM has
   initialized it) and letting them allocate more dynamically.
   MEMORY in particular needs this to map in physical memory
   using its own page table, without having to allocate.
