Ben Gras 0fb2f83da9 drop from segments physcopy/vircopy invocations
. sys_vircopy always uses D for both src and dst
	. sys_physcopy uses PHYS_SEG if and only if corresponding
	  endpoint is NONE, so we can derive the mode (PHYS_SEG or D)
	  from the endpoint arg in the kernel, dropping the seg args
	. fields in msg still filled in for backwards compatability,
	  using same NONE-logic in the library
