af03975dc1 Towards adding sys_clone()
Stopped working on self_spawn() - going to finish clone() syscall first.
Arch-specific clone() library call that does ipc() and cloned child setup.
- Need to finish thread_create() that satisfy clone() necessities. i.e. setting up its stack.
  Question: Does the pager (and thus the microkernel) have to explicitly set SP_USR?
  Once the call is known to be successful, the library could set it.

d7de9aa643 Shared tcb structures are made independent
For clone, file descriptor and vm area structures need to be
separate from the tcb and reached via a pointer so that they
can be shared among multiple tcbs.

89d774f7fa Mixed changes
- Added automatic utcb map/prefaulting of forked tasks for fs0
  so that it does not need to explicitly request those tasks from mm0.
  Eliminating fs0 requests to mm0 reduce deadlock possibilities.

- Replaced kmalloc with a public malloc implementation because of a bug in kmalloc.
- Fixed a kfree bug. default_release_pages was trying to free page_array pages.

63e9d059c8 More updates to vm object handling.
Added a list of links for vm objects so they can follow
the links that point at them.

More succinct handling of the case where a vm object
is dropped. Now depending on the object's number of link
references and shadow references, upon a drop it could
either be merged, deleted or kept.

Added opener reference count for vm files. Now files
have opener count, objects have shadow and link count.
Link count is also meaningful for how many tasks have
mmap'ed that object.

69db3a04c0 Towards implementing fork.
Issue is that shadow object references from original objects are into
the links rather than the objects.
