58b833dd7f Forks and COW situations show that we need vm objects rather than vm_files.
This is the first commit towards implementing vm object based paging with
right COW methods.

4f346cea53 Added the first means to pass information between 2 tasks using the
utcb as a shared page instead of the message registers.

Implemented the code that passes task information from mm0 to fs0
using the fs0 utcb. The code seems to work OK but:

There's an issue with anon pages that they end up on the same swapfile
and with same file offsets (e.g. utcb and stack at offset 0). Need to
fix this issue but otherwise this implementation seems to work.

TODO:
- Separate anon regions into separate vmfiles.
- Possibly map the stacks from virtual files so that they can be
  read from userspace in the future for debugging.
- Possibly utcb could be created as a shared memory object using shmget/shmat
  during startup.

7f9380cc78 Errno is set by the posix calls read/write/open/close etc. rather than their l4_xxx equivalent.
mmap.c is the only one not done yet.
