Environment is backed by a special per-task file maintained by mm0 for each task.
This file is filled in by the env pager, by simple copying of env data into the
faulty page upon a fault. UTCB and all anon regions (stack) could use the same
scheme.
Fixed IS_ERR(x) to accept negative values that are above -1000 for errors. This
protects against false positives for pointers such as 0xE0000000.

This will help when syscalls have long arguments individual
utcbs can be mapped to server tasks and kept mapped in until the
tasks die, as opposed to map requests every time a server task maps
a different utcb at the same virtual address.
The changes have preparation code to also passing the utcb info
through the stack as part of the environment.
To sum up env and arg regions have also been added above the stack and
env region is to be used to pass on the utcb address information at
task startup.
Added reading pages from the page cache into user buffer for sys_read.
Increases stack sizes to 4 pages.
Updated README to include more details about multi-pager environments.
This implements the infrastructure for read/write system calls where
file content is first searched in mm0's page cache and then read-in
or written via the vfs read/write functions.

Boot files and tasks are now initialised together. Theads can ask for particular
space and thread ids, if they're unused. This enables us to get predefined ids for
known tasks such as the VFS task.
Fixes to README
Other minor fixes.
ipc_sendrecv() replaces ipc_sendwait() which was flawed. See ipc_sendrecv() for
how client/server communication works. Tested with page faults where the kernel
does an ipc_sendrecv() to faulty thread's pager and the pager successfully handles
the request, and returns back the result, which effectively restarts the faulty
thread.
Changed l4id_t type to integer to recognise negative id values like L4_ANYTHREAD.
Added an extremely simple script that cleans and builds everything in right order.
Increased boot pmds by one:
This is due to the fact that if the 1MB initial allocation area of the kernel is
not 1MB-aligned, it is ought to be mapped from the middle of one MB to next,
which requires 2 pmds.
