This patch adds support for Unix98 pseudo terminals, that is,
posix_openpt(3), grantpt(3), unlockpt(3), /dev/ptmx, and /dev/pts/.
The latter is implemented with a new pseudo file system, PTYFS.
In effect, this patch adds secure support for unprivileged pseudo
terminal allocation, allowing programs such as tmux(1) to be used by
non-root users as well. Test77 has been extended with new tests, and
no longer needs to run as root.
The new functionality is optional. To revert to the old behavior,
remove the "ptyfs" entry from /etc/fstab.
Technical nodes:
o The reason for not implementing the NetBSD /dev/ptm approach is that
implementing the corresponding ioctl (TIOCPTMGET) would require
adding a number of extremely hairy exceptions to VFS, including the
PTY driver having to create new file descriptors for its own device
nodes.
o PTYFS is required for Unix98 PTYs in order to avoid that the PTY
driver has to be aware of old-style PTY naming schemes and even has
to call chmod(2) on a disk-backed file system. PTY cannot be its
own PTYFS since a character driver may currently not also be a file
system. However, PTYFS may be subsumed into a DEVFS in the future.
o The Unix98 PTY behavior differs somewhat from NetBSD's, in that
slave nodes are created on ptyfs only upon the first call to
grantpt(3). This approach obviates the need to revoke access as
part of the grantpt(3) call.
o Shutting down PTY may leave slave nodes on PTYFS, but once PTY is
restarted, these leftover slave nodes will be removed before they
create a security risk. Unmounting PTYFS will make existing PTY
slaves permanently unavailable, and absence of PTYFS will block
allocation of new Unix98 PTYs until PTYFS is (re)mounted.

kb_init() panics, if no keyboard controller is found during self-test.
Instead of panic, the driver should quit the init process and tell it the SEF .

Trying to boot Minix3 master on an appliance/sbc like ALIX fails, as
the service command throws an error. Making the rc script more robust
solves it.

Removing the panic leads to exactly one message on ALIX. Both commits
make minix out of the box booting on ALIX devices.

Seems like its a kind of convention introduced by Intel but not
mandatory from a PCI specification point of view, that the PCI host
controller resides on bus 0, device 0 function 0. At least tinybios
(the bios used by ALIX and WRAP) based appliances are not able to boot
with this change.

. bitcode fixes
. switch to compiler-rt instead of netbsd libc functions
or libgcc for support functions for both x86 and arm
. minor build fixes
. allow build with llvm without crossbuilding llvm itself
. can now build minix/arm using llvm and eabi - without C++
support for now (hence crossbuilding llvm itself is turned off
for minix/arm)

This is required for at least QEMU. However, as of writing, QEMU also
requires fixes in its epro100 emulator before this driver can use it.

- rename start_vtreefs to run_vtreefs, since the function returns upon
termination these days;
- add get_inode_slots function to retrieve the number of indexed slots;
- add support for extra per-inode data for arbitrary storage.

- Adding missing fields for PCI device lookup
- Adding the domain (for now set to zero) as part of the slot name

- Moved to KNF
- Whitespace cleanup
- Removed useless static functions prototypes
- Renamed some file private functions by prepending '__'
- Renamed some server-specific function by prepending '_'
- Fixed compilation warning for WARNS= 3

The NetBSD version is seriously broken--it is unable to match lines
against an empty pattern--and appears to be unmaintained.
The new version is the latest OpenBSD grep, with a number of MINIX-
specific changes marked as such, and an additional number of
(signed/unsigned, const) fixes to pass compilation.
Since this is not NetBSD code, move back the entire thing into
minix/usr.bin.

- synchronize request type with ioctl by making it unsigned long;
- unbreak VFS requests, as they were being sent to PM;
- use proper ioctl direction flags (and new numbers) for requests;
- remove some needless header inclusions;
- svrctl is in libc, make its message name reflect this;
- keep backward compatibility: svrctl is part of the userland ABI.

. the minix init started rc with the 'bootargs' variable.
this can now be cleanly passed to rc by executing sysenv
from the ramdisk rc script.

They can be deactivated with -DNDEBUG, which is why they can't contain
code which should always be run.
It seems the local implementation of USB_ASSERT doesn't honor the
CPP flags NDEBUG, this will be corrected in a later patch.

The memory used to be in its own memory region, but is now a part of
a larger memory region which is already being freed anyway.
