only if memory becomes tight, and then the range is used from end to
start.
This is useful to reserve heap address ranges.

along the protection flags).
Changed the handling of B_STACK_AREA types and anonymous vm_areas: now
every area can overcommit if B_OVERCOMMITTING_AREA was specified.
B_STACK_AREA areas are still automatically overcommitting, but
B_KERNEL_STACK_AREA areas no longer.
vm_store_anonymous_noswap.c now only tests for guard pages if there were
any specified which is only done for B_STACK_AREA areas.

(right now, it's still malloc/free, just encapsulated in an allocator class).

This reduces the stack usage quite a lot, and since file system calls could be
nested (for example, a mounted image on a volume), definitely a must, too.
Might be a good idea for user calls, too, though, although it's not urgent.

mounted, but no one told it about its volume ID - that caused "mountvolume"
not to be able to return a valid mount point.

file system has been mounted, it would have crashed (that for example
happened if you deleted the kernel settings file...).

Lots of cleanup:
- moved B_NO_ENABLE_COUNTER flag definition out of int.h to KernelExport.h, as it's
described in the BeBook (although it's probably not really used that often :))
- int.c no longer has any platform dependent code (+ 0x20 on interrupt numbers is gone);
it's now entirely handled in the arch/x86/ section.
- the io_vectors[] is now statically initialized, instead of allocated from the heap
- removed {install|remove}_interrupt_handler(); they weren't that useful, arch_smp_init()
is now calling install_io_interrupt_handler() correctly instead
- introduced a new arch_int.h header file that currently contains NUM_IO_VECTORS only
(though on x86, it also has ARCH_INTERRUPT_BASE == 0x20).
- changed the return type from {install|remove}_io_interrupt_handler() from "long" to
"status_t"
- rearranged and cleaned the PIC initialization code, made the PIC code more prominent
- changed comments that talk about a non existing 8239 (the PIC chip is actually 8259)
- moved arch/x86/interrupts.h to the source directory, as it's not used outside
- added BeOS compatible interrupts_enabled() function, that should replace our
equivalent (and private) are_interrupts_enabled()

Decreased the pipe buffer to 32768 bytes (it's 4096 on BeOS).
pipefs_select/deselect() did no locking.
Switched to using the BenaphoreLocker where possible.
