7967177710 endpoint-aware conversion of servers.
'who', indicating caller number in pm and fs and some other servers, has
been removed in favour of 'who_e' (endpoint) and 'who_p' (proc nr.).

In both PM and FS, isokendpt() convert endpoints to process slot
numbers, returning OK if it was a valid and consistent endpoint number.
okendpt() does the same but panic()s if it doesn't succeed. (In PM,
this is pm_isok..)

pm and fs keep their own records of process endpoints in their proc tables,
which are needed to make kernel calls about those processes.

message field names have changed.

fs drivers are endpoints.

fs now doesn't try to get out of driver deadlock, as the protocol isn't
supposed to let that happen any more. (A warning is printed if ELOCKED
is detected though.)

fproc[].fp_task (indicating which driver the process is suspended on)
became an int.

PM and FS now get endpoint numbers of initial boot processes from the
kernel. These happen to be the same as the old proc numbers, to let
user processes reach them with the old numbers, but FS and PM don't know
that. All new processes after INIT, even after the generation number
wraps around, get endpoint numbers with generation 1 and higher, so
the first instances of the boot processes are the only processes ever
to have endpoint numbers in the old proc number range.

More return code checks of sys_* functions have been added.

IS has become endpoint-aware. Ditched the 'text' and 'data' fields
in the kernel dump (which show locations, not sizes, so aren't terribly
useful) in favour of the endpoint number. Proc number is still visible.

Some other dumps (e.g. dmap, rs) show endpoint numbers now too which got
the formatting changed.

PM reading segments using rw_seg() has changed - it uses other fields
in the message now instead of encoding the segment and process number and
fd in the fd field. For that it uses _read_pm() and _write_pm() which to
_taskcall()s directly in pm/misc.c.

PM now sys_exit()s itself on panic(), instead of sys_abort().

RS also talks in endpoints instead of process numbers.

b5e3e6d18c Two 'dynamic driver' features in FS:
.  When drivers disappear that have pending select()s, wake up
   those user processes with EAGAIN so that they can retry their
   select() and won't hang forever on it.
.  When drivers re-appear and are mapped into the dmap, run through
   the list of mounted filesystems and re-dev_open() every one (for
   partition tables and such). This can't happen before the driver
   has exec()ced itself, so processes that have fork()ed but not
   exec()ced yet are marked as DMAP_BABY in the dmap table if they
   are dmapped before they are execced. If that happens, the above
   procedure happens after the exec(). If the exec() happens before
   the dmapping, it (the dev_open()ing) happens right away.

86ed54ee94 FS:
. unmap device drivers from dmap when PM signals they are dead
	. new null-io function (no_dev_io) to fill in for io functions
	  of unmapped drivers
	. driver (process number) of unmapped drivers is NONE instead of
	  0 (a valid process number)

IS:
	. print mutable flag of dmap table too

FS changes require sync() to be done 'manually' (currently by
reboot/shutdown) at shutdown time; could be caught by SIGTERM in
the future.

74711a3b14 Check if kernel calls is allowed (from process' call mask) added. Not yet
enforced. If a call is denied, this will be kprinted. Please report any such
errors, so that I can adjust the mask before returning errors instead of
warnings.

Wrote CMOS driver. All CMOS code from FS has been removed. Currently the
driver only supports get time calls. Set time is left out as an exercise
for the book readers ... startup scripts were updated because the CMOS driver
is needed early on. (IS got same treatment.) Don't forget to run MAKEDEV cmos
in /dev/, otherwise the driver cannot be loaded.

e561081545 Miscellaneous clean ups and fixes to the kernel.
Support for FLOPPY in boot image. (Set controller=fd at boot monitor.)
Moved major device numbers to <minix/dmap.h> (maybe rename to dev.h?)

89cf745fe2 Single boot driver loaded, while multiple can be included in the boot image.
The user needs to set label=... to choose the driver of his or her choice.
This driver will be mapped onto the controller that is set in controller=...

Minor cleanup of kernel source code (boot image table now is static).

b69ca94efb Fixed 'bug' in log driver that caused kernel messages not to be displayed.
This was caused by a change in the shared driver code. Not log's fault.

Renamed #definitions of driver process numbers, e.g., TTY now is TTY_PROC_NR.
All known (special) processes now have consistent naming scheme. Kernel tasks
don't follow this scheme.

42050e39f8 kernel and servers send diagnostic messages to IS; IS sends them to TTY
and the new log driver if enabled.

new usyslogd is started from /usr/etc/rc. New device created by
MAKEDEV.sh. /var/log created by etc/mtree/minix.tree (on root for
now). Made select() slightly more generic, with less code duplication.

c2cd510adf Removed debug dumps from the PM and FS servers. The dumps are now done by the
IS servers, which obtains a copy of the data through the getsysinfo() system
call. CTRL-F1 now is a special TTY key to shows function key mappings.

functionality). Currently working on memory allocation (not yet finished).
