aa2be891cd exit() almost there.
- Implemented reasonable way to suspend task.
  - A task that has a pending suspend would be interrupted
    from its sleep via the suspender task.
  - If suspend was raised and right after, task became about to sleep,
    then scheduler wakes it up.
  - If suspend was raised when task was in user mode, then an irq suspends it.
  - Also suspends are checked at the end of a syscall so that if suspend was
    raised because of a syscall from the task, the task is suspended before it
    goes back to user mode.

  - This mechanism is very similar to signals, and it may lead as a base for
    implementing signal handling.

- Implemented common vma dropping for shadow vm object dropping and task exiting.

3ce220f062 Changes to make sure after a fork a child process can safely return.
This copies the parent kernel stack to child only for the part where
the previous context is saved. Then the child registers are modified
so that it would begin execution from returning of the system call.

a87914910c Added a new system call sys_timer.
sys_timer accumulates timer ticks into seconds, minutes, hours and days.
It's left to the user to calculate from days into a date. It is not yet
known if the calculation is even roughly correct.

Reduced 2 kmem_reclaim/grant calls into one kmem_control call.
