IP, and UDP, as well as a home brewn UDP based protocol, "remote disk",
which provides random access to a single remote file/device. The Open
Firmware flavored boot loader automatically initializes the net stack,
searches for a remote disk, and tries to boot from it, if the boot
device is a network device (e.g. when loading the boot loader via
TFTP).
This is quite nice for developing with a two-machine setup, since one
doesn't even need to install Haiku on the test machine anymore, but can
serve it directly from the development machine. When the networking
support in the kernel is working, this method could even be used to
fully boot, not just for loading kernel and initial modules.

argument value of 0 should only free the old allocation.

* bfs_inode must be packed, otherwise the structure is larger due to
different alignment requirements.
* The off_t array returned by bfs_inode::Values() is in on-disk
endianess. This was ignored in some places. Hope I squashed all
occurences.
Those fixes should probably be back-ported to the kernel add-on, too.
Will do that when I get to that point in the kernel, unless someone
beats me to it.
The PPC boot loader does at least find the kernel on a BFS volume now.
Haven't dared to let it be loaded yet.

arch_cpu_user_TLB_invalidate(). Empty at the moment; will have a look at
that later. The PPC kernel builds again, now.

of_call_method() which is actually an implementation of the
"call-method" client function.
* of_interpret() announced one less return value than actually needed.
Seemed to work anyway, though.

support unsbrk(), and that is actually called quite often in Hoard, resulting
in out of memory quite fast.
We don't shrink the heap (yet), but at least we can reuse the memory that
was freed by Hoard (it doesn't just remove bytes from the end, it will also
free up smaller parts in the middle).

Must be further investigated (if the locks are created later or not...)

but it would have worked - and crashed soon after).
Minor cleanup.

vm_cache_ref starts with a reference count of 1. When acquiring a vm_cache,
you no longer need to worry if that should go through the vm_store, or not;
as it now always does.
* map_backing_store() no longer needs to play with the vm_cache_ref
references.
* that simplified some code.
* vfs_get_vnode_cache() now grabs a reference to the cache, if successful.
* better balanced vnode ownership on vnode_store creation (vnode_store
released the vnode before if its creation failed).

the leaf name for the area.
