During startup machine.board_id is now determined. The kernel can now
at runtime determine how to configure itself and does so.

On startup determine the board_id based on the board name
passed from u-boot. This code also export "board" for use
by userland using sysenv.

Put the boot arguments in uEnv.txt and not in cmdline.txt to allow
a more dynamic configuration of the system. We now also pass the
u-boot board_name parameter to the kernel.
Export the board variable to userland using sysenv. This
allows rc-scrips to perform device specific initialisation.
The board variable follows the following pattern
[ARCH]-[ARCHVARIANT]-[VENDOR]-[BOARD]-[BOARDVARIANT]
We currently we support the following boards:
X86-I586-GENERIC-GENERIC-GENERIC
ARM-ARMV7-TI-BBXM-GENERIC
ARM-ARMV7-TI-BB-WHITE
ARM-ARMV7-TI-BB-BLACK

Before this change overflowing the free running clock counter
between the time the timer was read and the time the overflow
check was done resulted in read_tsc_64 returning a to high value.

padconf is specific to arm, so it's being moved to kernel/arch/earm.
Add a test case to ensure the proper error is returned on non-ARM
systems.

On the AM335X, writes to the padconf registers must be done in privileged
mode. To allow userspace drivers to dynamically change the padconf at
runtime, a kernel call has been added.

To map kernel we use 1M sections therefore we should use
ARM_VM_SECTION_MASK to determine base address.

AM335X SoCs support power-off via a power management
chip (PMIC). An alarm in the real time clock is used
to trigger the PMIC to cut the power.
To ensure the alarm goes off when the system is in
a safe state, the RTC is frozen when the alarm is
set. At the last moment, the kernel unfreezes the RTC
to let the alarm go off.
This patch adds a mini driver for unfreezing the RTC
as well as code to handle RBT_POWEROFF on Minix/arm.

The padconf library runs in user mode, but to actually affect the
padconf register contents, the processor has to be in privileged
mode. A full server based solution will be developed, but for now
just set the pinmux in the kernel at boot.

kernel:
. modules can be as big as the space (8MB) between them
instead of 4MB; memory is slightly bigger with DBG=-g
arm ucontext:
. r4 is clobbered by the restore function, as it's
used as a scratch register, causing problems for the
DBG=-g build
. r1-r3 are safe for scratch registers, as they are
caller-save, so use r3 instead; and don't bother
restoring r1-r3, but preserve r4

Omap timers remove hardcoded base address and add some initial
support for the beaglebone's timers. Frclock_util will need
refactoring to remain independent of the ARM flavour.

. an instruction fetch pagefault generates a prefetch
abort exception, this should also be a source of
a pagefault event
. the saved_lr argument to the C exception handler was
sometimes an address, sometimes a pointer to that address;
the kernel sometimes dereferences it, so it should always be
an in-kernel address, never a userspace address. fix in mpx.S
makes it always a pointer.
. move dumping of all processes over serial out of
the arch-specific arch_system.c
The natural term to use when talking about MINIX big pages on ARM
is SECTION. A section is a level 1 page table entry pointing to
a 1MB area.

In libexec, split the memory allocation method into cleared and
non-cleared. Cleared gives zeroed memory, non-cleared gives 'junk'
memory (that will be overwritten anyway, and so needn't be cleared)
that is faster to get.
Also introduce the 'memmap' method that can be used, if available,
to map code and data from executables into a process using the
third-party mmap() mode.

We used to load the memory driver above the other modules to allow
the memory driver (ramdisk) to grow. We no longer want or need this
this as we have a working mmc driver.
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/
