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.

Headers 3 headers related to message registers and utcbs are now merged under
utcb.h in libl4. Some message register definitions used by the kernel are now
moved into kernel's glue/message.h. This avoids the duplication of same
definitions. Also the total number of mregs are now determined by arch-specific
kernel header, which is good.
Modified ipc handling so that from now on the kernel inspects and sets
the sender id if the receiver is receiving from L4_ANYTHREAD. This posed
a security problem since the receiver could not trust the sender for
sender information.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Previously python hex() would put an extra 'L' after printing out the
value and this would be trimmed in readelf.py. Now it doesn't seem to
do that so the lsd of the number was trimmed. This patch fixes that.
