The following services have been updated to support stateful restarts:
- Drivers: tty
- Filesystems: isofs, mfs, pfs, libvtreefs-based file servers
- System servers: tty, ds, pm, vfs, vm

Previously, RS would clean up dead services only when it is idle.
During shutdown, all services are marked with the 'exiting' flag,
and these flags lead RS to conclude it is not idle. Therefore, at
shutdown time, no services were cleaned up anymore, leading to
deadlock situations. For example, VFS could end up waiting for a
service that was already dead, or one driver could end up waiting
for an interrupt on a line shared with another dead driver.
While it may be possible to ignore RS_EXITING when checking idle
status, other flags may have the same ultimate effect. Therefore,
this patch skips the idle check altogether when in shutdown mode.

While in a multicomponent live update that includes RS, the new RS
instance may receive heartbeat replies which, after a rollback, the
old RS instance will then never see. As a result, the rolled-back
RS instance may end up killing well-behaving services.

Add support for compact address layout. This feature can be enabled
through the ac_layout=1 boot option.

Some select queries require a response from device drivers. If a
select call is nonblocking (with a zero timeout), the response to
the caller may have to be deferred until all involved drivers have
responded to the initial query. This is handled just fine.
However, if the select call has a timeout that is so short that it
triggers before all the involved drivers have responded, the
resulting alarm would be discarded, possibly resulting in the call
blocking forever. This fix changes the alarm handler such that if
the alarm triggers too early, the select call is further handled
as though it was nonblocking.
This fix resolves a test77 deadlock on really slow systems.

- ping(1) triggers warnings about unimplemented exceptions for select;
even if there could be a useful implementation (which is doubtful),
the warnings are not helping anyone right now;
- the clock_t data type has changed.

Fix /dev/tty-related issues in tmux(1) by hardcoding the PTY major
in VFS in addition to the TTY major. Even though this is exactly
what we did NOT want to have to do, the actual fix for this issue
is going to take a little longer.

The previous approach of storing pointers to messages structures for
thread-blocking sendrec operations relied on several assumptions,
which if violated could lead to odd cases of memory corruption.
With this patch, VFS resets pointers right after use, avoiding that
any dangling pointers are accidentally dereferenced later. This
approach was already used in some cases, but not all of them.

For dynamically linked executables, the interpreter is passed a
file descriptor of the binary being executed. To this end, VFS
opens the target executable, but opening the file fails if it is
not readable, even when it is executable. With this patch, when
opening the executable, it verifies the X bit rather than the R
bit on the file, thus allowing the execution of dynamically
linked binaries that are executable but not readable.
Add test86 to verify correctness.

- do not use timers when there is only ever one timer;
- do not include kernel header files for no reason;
- do not reply to notifications ever.

This patch changes the prefetch API so that file systems must now
provide a set of block numbers, rather than a set of buffers. The
result is a leaner and more well-defined API; linear computation of
the range of blocks to prefetch; duplicates no longer interfering
with the prefetch process; guaranteed inclusion of the block needed
next into the prefetch range; and, limits and policy decisions better
established by libminixfs now actually being moved into libminixfs.

- The lmfs_get_block*(3) API calls may now return an error. The idea
is to encourage a next generation of file system services to do a
better job at dealing with block read errors than the MFS-derived
implementations do. These existing file systems have been changed
to panic immediately upon getting a block read error, in order to
let unchecked errors cause corruption. Note that libbdev already
retries failing I/O operations a few times first.
- The libminixfs block device I/O module (bio.c) now deals properly
with end-of-file conditions on block devices. Since a device or
partition size may not be a multiple of the root file system's block
size, support for partial block retrival has been added, with a new
internal lmfs_get_partial_block(3) call. A new test program,
test85, tests the new handling of EOF conditions when reading,
writing, and memory-mapping a block device.

This patch changes the libminixfs API and implementation such that the
library is at all times aware of how many total and used blocks there
are in the file system. This removes the last upcall of libminixfs
into file systems (fs_blockstats). In the process, make this part of
the libminixfs API a little prettier and more robust. Change file
systems accordingly. Since this change only adds to MFS being unable
to deal with zones and blocks having different sizes, fail to mount
such file systems immediately rather than triggering an assert later.

This removes an implicit requirement for the way the libminixfs API is
to be used, namely that a block is to be marked as dirty only once its
contents have been fully updated, within a single get_block/put_block
window. The requirement may not be appropriate for all file systems.

With this change, the lmfs_get_block*(3) functions allow the caller to
specify that it only wants the block if it is in the cache or the
secondary VM cache. If the block is not found there, the functions
return NULL. Previously, the PREFETCH method would be used to this
end instead, which was both abuse in name and less efficient.
