Ben Gras 1335d5d700 'proc number' is process slot, 'endpoint' are generation-aware process
instance numbers, encoded and decoded using macros in <minix/endpoint.h>.

proc number -> endpoint migration
  . proc_nr in the interrupt hook is now an endpoint, proc_nr_e.
  . m_source for messages and notifies is now an endpoint, instead of
    proc number.
  . isokendpt() converts an endpoint to a process number, returns
    success (but fails if the process number is out of range, the
    process slot is not a living process, or the given endpoint
    number does not match the endpoint number in the process slot,
    indicating an old process).
  . okendpt() is the same as isokendpt(), but panic()s if the conversion
    fails. This is mainly used for decoding message.m_source endpoints,
    and other endpoint numbers in kernel data structures, which should
    always be correct.
  . if DEBUG_ENABLE_IPC_WARNINGS is enabled, isokendpt() and okendpt()
    get passed the __FILE__ and __LINE__ of the calling lines, and
    print messages about what is wrong with the endpoint number
    (out of range proc, empty proc, or inconsistent endpoint number),
    with the caller, making finding where the conversion failed easy
    without having to include code for every call to print where things
    went wrong. Sometimes this is harmless (wrong arg to a kernel call),
    sometimes it's a fatal internal inconsistency (bogus m_source).
  . some process table fields have been appended an _e to indicate it's
    become and endpoint.
  . process endpoint is stored in p_endpoint, without generation number.
    it turns out the kernel never needs the generation number, except
    when fork()ing, so it's decoded then.
  . kernel calls all take endpoints as arguments, not proc numbers.
    the one exception is sys_fork(), which needs to know in which slot
    to put the child.

/* Function prototypes for the system library. The prototypes in this file
* are undefined to do_unused if the kernel call is not enabled in config.h.
* The implementation is contained in src/kernel/system/.
*
* The system library allows to access system services by doing a kernel call.
* System calls are transformed into request messages to the SYS task that is
* responsible for handling the call. By convention, sys_call() is transformed
* into a message with type SYS_CALL that is handled in a function do_call().
*
* Changes:
* Jul 30, 2005 created SYS_INT86 to support BIOS driver (Philip Homburg)
* Jul 13, 2005 created SYS_PRIVCTL to manage services (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Jul 09, 2005 updated SYS_KILL to signal services (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Jun 21, 2005 created SYS_NICE for nice(2) kernel call (Ben J. Gras)
* Jun 21, 2005 created SYS_MEMSET to speed up exec(2) (Ben J. Gras)
* Apr 12, 2005 updated SYS_VCOPY for virtual_copy() (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Jan 20, 2005 updated SYS_COPY for virtual_copy() (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Oct 24, 2004 created SYS_GETKSIG to support PM (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Oct 10, 2004 created handler for unused calls (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Sep 09, 2004 updated SYS_EXIT to let services exit (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Aug 25, 2004 rewrote SYS_SETALARM to clean up code (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Jul 13, 2004 created SYS_SEGCTL to support drivers (Jorrit N. Herder)
* May 24, 2004 created SYS_SDEVIO to support drivers (Jorrit N. Herder)
* May 24, 2004 created SYS_GETINFO to retrieve info (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Apr 18, 2004 created SYS_VDEVIO to support drivers (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Feb 24, 2004 created SYS_IRQCTL to support drivers (Jorrit N. Herder)
* Feb 02, 2004 created SYS_DEVIO to support drivers (Jorrit N. Herder)
