f29c18ec09 Fixed various errors with ipc message passing.
Previously we had changed the method of setting the ipc tag from l4_ipc() call
argument to being passed as a message register.

- This change was not reflected in l4_ipc() signature as it still had a 3rd argument,
  even though ignored.

- l4_set_sender and _set_tag had their arguments wrong way around.
- Previously 5 mrs were passed onto utcb instead of 6, relying on the fact that
  l4_ipc tag argument was being passed in r3 directly, this wasnt true anymore
  with new convention, but wasn't catered for.

TODO:
- MM0 shouldn't really allocate tids itself, but use ones supplied by C0.
- Sender tid shouldn't really passed by the sender task, but rather by C0. Otherwise
  security can be easily breached by user tasks pretending to be other tasks. This
  would also save us a message register.

4f2e1d3e94 Fixed various minor issues.
Tag setting before ipc via l4 libraries don't seem to work, whereas
c0 internally generated ipcs do it correctly.

a82cdd3456 User pointer validity checks.
Added routines that check whether a user pointer is accessible by the kernel,
and if not ask the pager to map-in those pages. I haven't implemented yet the
bit that asks the pager for paging-in.

70d5ff33cd This patch adds ipc_sendrecv() and opens the way for client/server communication.
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.

ddba7536cb Remove the mechanism for blocking tasks from doing ipc.
Removed previously implemented but untested mechanism of blocking tasks
from doing ipc to certain tasks using certain tags. This is to be considered
for future implementation.
