- change all sync char drivers into async drivers;
- retire support for the sync protocol in libchardev;
- remove async dev style, as this is now the default;
- remove dev_status from VFS;
- clean up now-unused protocol messages.

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.

. libc: add vfs_mmap, a way for vfs to initiate mmap()s.
This is a good special case to have as vfs is a slightly
different client from regular user processes. It doesn't do it
for itself, and has the dev & inode info already so the callback
to VFS for the lookup isn't necessary. So it has different info
to have to give to VM.
. libc: also add minix_mmap64() that accepts a 64-bit offset, even
though our off_t is still 32 bit now.
. On exec() time, try to mmap() in the executable if available.
(It is not yet available in this commit.)
. To support mmap(), add do_vm_call that allows VM to lookup
(to ino+dev), do i/o from and close FD's on behalf of other
processes.

Primary purpose of change: to support the mmap implementation, VM must
know both (a) about some block metadata for FS cache blocks, i.e.
inode numbers and inode offsets where applicable; and (b) know about
*all* cache blocks, i.e. also of the FS primary caches and not just
the blocks that spill into the secondary one. This changes the
interface and VM data structures.
This change is only for the interface (libminixfs) and VM data
structures; the filesystem code is unmodified, so although the
secondary cache will be used as normal, blocks will not be annotated
with inode information until the FS is modified to provide this
information. Until it is modified, mmap of files will fail gracefully
on such filesystems.
This is indicated to VFS/VM by returning ENOSYS for REQ_PEEK.

. new mode for sys_memset: include process so memset can be
done in physical or virtual address space.
. add a mode to mmap() that lets a process allocate uninitialized
memory.
. this allows an exec()er (RS, VFS, etc.) to request uninitialized
memory from VM and selectively clear the ranges that don't come
from a file, leaving no uninitialized memory left for the process
to see.
. use callbacks for clearing the process, clearing memory in the
process, and copying into the process; so that the libexec code
can be used from rs, vfs, and in the future, kernel (to load vm)
and vm (to load boot-time processes)
these two functions will be used to support all exec() functionality
going into a single library shared by RS and VFS and exec() knowledge
leaving VM.
. third-party mmap: allow certain processes (VFS, RS) to
do mmap() on behalf of another process
. PROCCTL: used to free and clear a process' address space
. rc script and service know to look in /usr/pkg/.. for
extra binaries and conf files
. service split into parsing config and doing RS request
so that a new utility (printconfig) can just print the
config in machine-parseable format for netconf integration
. converted all base system eth drivers/netconf
. ipc wants to know about processes that get
signals, so that it can break blocking ipc operations
. doing it for every single signal is wasteful
and causes the annoying 'no slot for signals' message
. this fix tells vm on a per-process basis it (ipc)
wants to be notified, i.e. only when it does any ipc calls
. move ipc config to separate config file while we're at it
sys_umap now supports only:
- looking up the physical address of a virtual address in the address space
of the caller;
- looking up the physical address of a grant for which the caller is the
grantee.
This is enough for nearly all umap users. The new sys_umap_remote supports
lookups in arbitrary address spaces and grants for arbitrary grantees.
This makes it easier to
- have non-base system drivers (get clobbered by global system.conf)
- have drivers as packages (can't touch global system.conf)
- make configs part of the drivers/servers instead of in global file
(makes system parts more self-contained)
