47ca7595ca First patch by Salvatore to implement XSI semaphores with a few changes
by myself:
* renamed xsi_do_undo() to xsi_sem_undo() (there is more to XSI than sems).
* Fixed coding style issues in sys/sem.h and xsi_sem.cpp.
* Added _kern_*() syscall prototypes to syscalls.h.
* Added a TODO in xsi_sem.cpp and xsi_semaphore.h about moving union semun to
  a shared header.
* Made the team::xsi_sem_undo_requests int32 - due to padding, it would have
  needed 4 bytes anyway; please always use specific types over int/short/long.
* xsi_sem_undo() now checks if it needs to do anything - the calls in team.cpp
  no longer needs to do this.

2965c99fea * Changed the _kern_exec() and _kern_load_image() syscalls. They expect
a flattened argument/environment buffer now. This simplifies the work
  for the kernel a bit, since it can just copy the buffer and check
  whether it looks OK instead of messing around with individual strings.
  The runtime loader also gets a flattened array.
* Set the maximum size of the arguments/environment buffer to 128 KB.
  When more arguments are passed, we fail with a proper error code
  (instead of just truncating the arguments as before).
* On exec*() the first argument was silently replaced by the given path
  name, which is not correct.

a2cf1d70ef Removed <syscalls.h>' dependency to <semaphore.h> by giving the sem_t
structure a name.

0f448d21e5 * Added vm_page_write_modified_page_range(), which is similar to
vm_page_write_modified_pages(), save that it only writes pages in the
  given range.
* Added vm_page_schedule_write_page_range() which schedules all modified
  pages in the given cache's range for writing by the page writer.
* Added _kern_sync_memory() syscall and the msync() POSIX function.

6b202f4e3d * Introduced new header directory headers/private/system which is supposed
to contain headers shared by kernel and userland (mainly libroot).
* Moved quite a few private kernel headers to the new location. Split
  several kernel headers into a shared part and one that is still kernel
  private. Adjusted all affected Jamfiles and source in the standard x86
  build accordingly. The build for other architectures and for test code
  may be broken.
* Quite a bit of userland code still includes private kernel headers.
  Mostly those are <util/*> headers. The ones that aren't strictly
  kernel-only should be moved to some other place (maybe
  headers/private/shared/util).
