49b9165251 vm: mmap support
. test74 for mmap functionality
	. vm: add a mem_file memory type that specifies an mmap()ped
	  memory range, backed by a file
	. add fdref, an object that keeps track of FD references within
	  VM per process and so knows how to de-duplicate the use of FD's
	  by various mmap()ped ranges; there can be many more than there can
	  be FD's
	. turned off for now, enable with 'filemap=1' as boot option

c5b309ff07 Merge of Wu's GSOC 09 branch (src.20090525.r4372.wu)
Main changes:
- COW optimization for safecopy.
- safemap, a grant-based interface for sharing memory regions between processes.
- Integration with safemap and complete rework of DS, supporting new data types
  natively (labels, memory ranges, memory mapped ranges).
- For further information:
  http://wiki.minix3.org/en/SummerOfCode2009/MemoryGrants

Additional changes not included in the original Wu's branch:
- Fixed unhandled case in VM when using COW optimization for safecopy in case
  of a block that has already been shared as SMAP.
- Better interface and naming scheme for sys_saferevmap and ds_retrieve_map
  calls.
- Better input checking in syslib: check for page alignment when creating
  memory mapping grants.
- DS notifies subscribers when an entry is deleted.
- Documented the behavior of indirect grants in case of memory mapping.
- Test suite in /usr/src/test/safeperf|safecopy|safemap|ds/* reworked
  and extended.
- Minor fixes and general cleanup.
- TO-DO: Grant ids should be generated and managed the way endpoints are to make
sure grant slots are never misreused.

32fbbd370c - pages that points to page directory values of all processes,
shared with the kernel, mapped into kernel address space; 
   kernel is notified of its location. kernel segment size is
   increased to make it fit.
 - map in kernel and other processes that don't have their
   own page table using single 4MB (global) mapping.
 - new sanity check facility: objects that are allocated with
   the slab allocator are, when running with sanity checking on,
   marked readonly until they are explicitly unlocked using the USE()
   macro.
 - another sanity check facility: collect all uses of memory and
   see if they don't overlap with (a) eachother and (b) free memory
 - own munmap() and munmap_text() functions.
 - exec() recovers from out-of-memory conditions properly now; this
   solves some weird exec() behaviour
 - chew off memory from the same side of the chunk as where we
   start scanning, solving some memory fragmentation issues
 - use avl trees for freelist and phys_ranges in regions
 - implement most useful part of munmap()
 - remap() stuff is GQ's for shared memory

c078ec0331 Basic VM and other minor improvements.
Not complete, probably not fully debugged or optimized.
