594df55e53 Abstract away minix_kerninfo access
Instead of importing an external _minix_kerninfo variable, any code
using the shared kernel page should now call get_minix_kerninfo(3).
Since this is the only logical name for such a function, rename the
previous get_minix_kerninfo call to ipc_minix_kerninfo.

5ba2e6e6e8 VM/VFS: align ELF header buffer
The libexec ELF parser expects to be given a word-aligned buffer,
but the ASR pass may cause VM and VFS to pass it an arbitrarily
aligned buffer, causing libexec to refuse loading the executable.
This patch aligns the buffers explicitly.

56ac45c10b VFS: check X bit, not R bit, opening executables
For dynamically linked executables, the interpreter is passed a
file descriptor of the binary being executed.  To this end, VFS
opens the target executable, but opening the file fails if it is
not readable, even when it is executable.  With this patch, when
opening the executable, it verifies the X bit rather than the R
bit on the file, thus allowing the execution of dynamically
linked binaries that are executable but not readable.

Add test86 to verify correctness.
