3cc092ff06 . new kernel call sysctl for generic unprivileged system operations;
now used for printing diagnostic messages through the kernel message
   buffer. this lets processes print diagnostics without sending messages
   to tty and log directly, simplifying the message protocol a lot and
   reducing difficulties with deadlocks and other situations in which
   diagnostics are blackholed (e.g. grants don't work). this makes
   DIAGNOSTICS(_S), ASYN_DIAGNOSTICS and DIAG_REPL obsolete, although tty
   and log still accept the codes for 'old' binaries. This also simplifies
   diagnostics in several servers and drivers - only tty needs its own
   kputc() now.
 . simplifications in vfs, and some effort to get the vnode references
   right (consistent) even during shutdown. m_mounted_on is now NULL
   for root filesystems (!) (the original and new root), a less awkward
   special case than 'm_mounted_on == m_root_node'. root now has exactly
   one reference, to root, if no files are open, just like all other
   filesystems. m_driver_e is unused.

c078ec0331 Basic VM and other minor improvements.
Not complete, probably not fully debugged or optimized.

b01aff70d2 use servers/inet/mq.[ch] to queue messages using mq_queue() in
libdriver.  at_wini now queues messages it can't handle it receives when
waiting for an interrupt. this way it can do receive(ANY) and timeouts
should be working again (were broken for VFS, as with the advent of VFS,
at_wini could get requests from a filesystem while it was waiting for an
interrupt - as a hack, the receive() was changed to receive(HARDWARE)).

Added mq.c to libdriver, and made libdriver an actual library that
drivers link with -L../libdriver -ldriver. (So adding files, if
necessary, is easier next time.)

f877da3aec endpoint migration for drivers.
mostly renaming message field names to the new names.

tty stored process numbers in chars in tty and pty structs - now ints.

ea75918df1 printf() by kernel and servers now send messages to an array of processes,
OUTPUT_PROCS_ARRAY in <minix/config.h>, in that order, terminated by NONE.
log no longer forwards messages to tty itself. This leads to less funny
loops and more robust debug-message handling. Also the list of
processes receiving messages can easily be changed around or disabled by
editing the array (e.g. disable it by changing the array to { NONE }.).

09830fc33e Allowed printing diagnostic messages (either from system processes or the
kernel) to the log driver. The log driver forwards such output to the TTY.

Changed driver_task() not to send a reply if the return value is EDONTREPLY.

8c024e28a1 Changed Makefiles: drivers are now installed in /usr/sbin.
TTY now gets SYS_EVENT message with sigset (e.g., SIGKMESS, SIGKSTOP).

640eb73ca2 New log driver; buffers messages and makes them available to userland.
Added some fields in the generic device table to support this driver
using libdriver. Updated other drivers to fill these fields with nops
and NULLs.
