349a158056 base system hooks for pkgsrc drivers
. 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

48c6bb79f4 Driver refactory for live update and crash recovery.
SYSLIB CHANGES:
- DS calls to publish / retrieve labels consider endpoints instead of u32_t.

VFS CHANGES:
- mapdriver() only adds an entry in the dmap table in VFS.
- dev_up() is only executed upon reception of a driver up event.

INET CHANGES:
- INET no longer searches for existing drivers instances at startup.
- A newtwork driver is (re)initialized upon reception of a driver up event.
- Networking startup is now race-free by design. No need to waste 5 seconds
at startup any more.

DRIVER CHANGES:
- Every driver publishes driver up events when starting for the first time or
in case of restart when recovery actions must be taken in the upper layers.
- Driver up events are published by drivers through DS. 
- For regular drivers, VFS is normally the only subscriber, but not necessarily.
For instance, when the filter driver is in use, it must subscribe to driver
up events to initiate recovery.
- For network drivers, inet is the only subscriber for now.
- Every VFS driver is statically linked with libdriver, every network driver
is statically linked with libnetdriver.

DRIVER LIBRARIES CHANGES:
- Libdriver is extended to provide generic receive() and ds_publish() interfaces
for VFS drivers.
- driver_receive() is a wrapper for sef_receive() also used in driver_task()
to discard spurious messages that were meant to be delivered to a previous
version of the driver.
- driver_receive_mq() is the same as driver_receive() but integrates support
for queued messages.
- driver_announce() publishes a driver up event for VFS drivers and marks
the driver as initialized and expecting a DEV_OPEN message.
- Libnetdriver is introduced to provide similar receive() and ds_publish()
interfaces for network drivers (netdriver_announce() and netdriver_receive()).
- Network drivers all support live update with no state transfer now.

KERNEL CHANGES:
- Added kernel call statectl for state management. Used by driver_announce() to
unblock eventual callers sendrecing to the driver.

064cb7583a Lots of small code cleanup: make symbols local, remove unused symbols,
fixed a typo, removed a now unused header file.
Use #include <..> for header files that represent libraries.

1f5841c8ed Basic System Event Framework (SEF) with ping and live update.
SYSLIB CHANGES:
- SEF must be used by every system process and is thereby part of the system
library.
- The framework provides a receive() interface (sef_receive) for system
processes to automatically catch known system even messages and process them.
- SEF provides a default behavior for each type of system event, but allows
system processes to register callbacks to override the default behavior.
- Custom (local to the process) or predefined (provided by SEF) callback
implementations can be registered to SEF.
- SEF currently includes support for 2 types of system events:
  1. SEF Ping. The event occurs every time RS sends a ping to figure out
  whether a system process is still alive. The default callback implementation
  provided by SEF is to notify RS back to let it know the process is alive
  and kicking.
  2. SEF Live update. The event occurs every time RS sends a prepare to update
  message to let a system process know an update is available and to prepare
  for it. The live update support is very basic for now. SEF only deals with
  verifying if the prepare state can be supported by the process, dumping the
  state for debugging purposes, and providing an event-driven programming
  model to the process to react to state changes check-in when ready to update.
- SEF should be extended in the future to integrate support for more types of
system events. Ideally, all the cross-cutting concerns should be integrated into
SEF to avoid duplicating code and ease extensibility. Examples include:
  * PM notify messages primarily used at shutdown.
  * SYSTEM notify messages primarily used for signals.
  * CLOCK notify messages used for system alarms.
  * Debug messages. IS could still be in charge of fkey handling but would
  forward the debug message to the target process (e.g. PM, if the user
  requested debug information about PM). SEF would then catch the message and
  do nothing unless the process has registered an appropriate callback to
  deal with the event. This simplifies the programming model to print debug
  information, avoids duplicating code, and reduces the effort to print
  debug information.

SYSTEM PROCESSES CHANGES:
- Every system process registers SEF callbacks it needs to override the default
system behavior and calls sef_startup() right after being started.
- sef_startup() does almost nothing now, but will be extended in the future to
support callbacks of its own to let RS control and synchronize with every
system process at initialization time.
- Every system process calls sef_receive() now rather than receive() directly,
to let SEF handle predefined system events.

RS CHANGES:
- RS supports a basic single-component live update protocol now, as follows:
  * When an update command is issued (via "service update *"), RS notifies the
  target system process to prepare for a specific update state.
  * If the process doesn't respond back in time, the update is aborted.
  * When the process responds back, RS kills it and marks it for refreshing.
  * The process is then automatically restarted as for a buggy process and can
  start running again.
  * Live update is currently prototyped as a controlled failure.

308d9a693c prettified rtl driver:
. no more kmalloc
 . no more umaps + physcopies / abscopies
 . the status register is directly readable from the drivers own
   address space now, and no physcopy is needed to read it
 . map+physcopy call combinations are replaced by vircopy calls

6d23f072f3 Cleaned up src/lib/utils library. Renamed server_ functions to more logical
names. All system processes can now either use panic() or report() from
libutils, or redefine their own function. Assertions are done via the standard
<assert.h> functionality.
