- KIP's pointer to UTCB seems to work with existing l4lib ipc functions.
- Works up to clone()
- In clone we mmap() the same UTCB on each new thread - excessive.
- Generally during page fault handling, cloned threads may fault on the same page
multiple times even though a single handling would be enough for all of them.
Need to detect and handle this.
Previously a so-called utcb shared page was used for transfering
data between posix services. This was a special shmat/get/dt case
allocating from its own virtual pool. Now the term utcb is renamed
as a shared page and integrated with the shm* handling routines.
Generic l4 threads will use long-ipc and not this method. Posix
services will continue to communicate on a shared page for now.

- Directory creation, file read/write is OK.
- Cannot reuse old task's fds. They are not recycled for some reason.
- Problems with fork/clone/exit. They fail for a reason.
It turned out we used one version of kmalloc for malloc() and another for kfree()!
Now fixed.
Added parent-child relationship to tasks. Need to polish handling CLONE_PARENT and THREAD.
