- test0 now forks 16 tasks that each modify a global variable.
- scheduler now gives 1/10th of a second per task. It also does not increase timeslice
of a task that has scheduled.
- When a memory is granted to the kernel, the distribution of this memory to memcaches
was calculated in a complicated way. This is now simplified.
- Fixed do_mmap() so that it returns mapped address, and various bugs.
- A child seems to fork with new setup, but with incorrect return value.
Need to use and test exregs() for fork + clone.
- Shmat searches an unmapped area if input arg is invalid, do_mmap()
should do this.
- Added mutex_trylock()
- Implemented most of exchange_registers()
- thread_control() now needs a lock for operations that can modify thread context.
- thread_start() does not initialise scheduler flags, now done in thread_create.
TODO:
- Fork/clone'ed threads should retain their context in tcb, not syscall stack.
- exchange_registers() calls in userspace need cleaning up.
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.
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.

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.
