* Simplified the notification framework: removed the updater stuff completely;
it was only there to account for some peculiarities of the node monitor which
we now solved differently.
* NotificationListener no longer includes a doubly linked list link for convenience;
it might want to listen to more than just one service.
* NotificationService cannot have an abstract destructor.
* Changed the _user_stop_watching() syscall to mirror the Be API; ie. it's no
longer possible to just remove some flags separately, just to stop listening
completely.
* Adapted the node monitor implementation to live in the NodeMonitorService class
that uses the new notification framework.
* Removed the public kernel node monitor API - it wasn't useful that way since you
couldn't do a lot with the KMessage in the kernel without using a private API.
Now you will have to use the (private) notification manager to use the node monitor
from inside the kernel. At a later point, we might introduce a public API for that,
too.

* Images preloaded by the boot loader had to be modules to be of any use
to the kernel. Extended the mechanism so that any images not accepted
by the module code would later be tried to be added as drivers by the
devfs. This is a little hacky ATM, since the devfs manages the drivers
using a hash map keyed by the drivers inode ID, which those drivers
obviously don't have.
* The devfs emulates read_pages() using read(), if the device driver
doesn't implement the former (all old-style drivers), thus making it
possible to BFS, which uses the file cache which in turn requires
read_pages(), on the device. write_pages() emulation is still missing.
* Replaced the kernel_args::boot_disk structure by a KMessage, which can
more flexibly be extended and deals more gracefully with
arbitrarily-size data. The disk_identifier structure still exists,
though. It is added as message field in cases where needed (non net
boot). Moved the boot_drive_number field of the bios_ia32 platform
specific args into the message.
* Made the stage 1 PXE boot loader superfluous. Moved the relevant
initialization code into the stage 2 loader, which can now be loaded
directly via PXE.
* The PXE boot loader does now download a boot tgz archive via TFTP. It
does no longer use the RemoteDisk protocol (it could actually be
removed from the boot loader). It also parses the DHCP options in the
DHCPACK packet provided by PXE and extracts the root path to be
mounted by the kernel.
* Reorganized the boot volume search in the kernel (vfs_boot.cpp) and
added support for network boot. In this case the net stack is
initialized and the network interface the boot loader used is brought
up and configured. Since NBD and RemoteDisk are our only options for
net boot (and those aren't really configurable dynamically) ATM, the
the boot device is found automatically by the disk device manager.
Booting via PXE does work to some degree now. The most grievous problem
is that loading certain drivers or kernel modules (or related activity)
causes a reboot (likely a triple fault, though one wonders where our
double fault handler is on vacation). Namely the keyboard and mouse input
server add-ons need to be deactivated as well as the media server.
A smaller problem is the net server, which apparently tries to
(re-)configure the network interface we're using to boot, which
obviously doesn't work out that well. So, if all this stuff is disabled
Haiku does fully boot, when using the RemoteDisk protocol (not being
able to use keyboard or mouse doesn't make this a particular fascinating
experience, though ;-)). I had no luck with NBD -- it seemed to have
protocol problems with the servers I tried.

function, and added a vfs_disconnect_vnode() for other kernel components.
* devfs_unpublish_device() can now optionally make use of this call.
* Fixed the type check of devfs' unpublish_node().

that put one or more full paths on the stack before, which could cause some
problems under certain conditions.
* Cleaned up KPath, ie. use size_t instead of int32 where appropriate, added
license.

(mounting still only works from the Terminal).
* Shuffled functions in node_monitor.cpp around to clearly differentiate between
private, private kernel, and public kernel functions.

can now safely unmount volumes that are still in use by some applications.
Minor fixes to the FD disconnection implementation:
* put_fd() checked the condition for being able to disconnect a descriptor
incorrectly (causing the FD to never be disconnected).
* remove_fd() would hand out disconnected descriptors (but should have
returned NULL for them).

service depends on it, it doesn't make any sense to call it that early in the
game.
* The VFS now has a low memory handler for vnodes as well. If there is enough
memory left, it won't free any vnodes anymore.
* Potential crashing bug fix: some functions did not check if the FD passed
in belonged to the right type; they just assumed it had a valid vnode, but
it could have had a mount structure associated as well.

per file descriptor (a descriptor can be shared among several slots). There is now a
second table in the io_context structure that contains that information in a bitmap.
There are now two new (private) functions to control the close-on-exec flag, fd_close_on_exec(),
and fd_set_close_on_exec().
F_DUPFD, dup(), and dup2() are supposed to clear the close-on-exec flag on the duplicated
slot - this fixes bug #57 (no output after a redirect of a shell builtin).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@14313 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Added new devfs_add_driver() function that the device manager will now call
to register new drivers.
Devfs will now keep a list of known drivers and remembers, if they have
been initialized already - a driver can now safely scan the directory it's
in while being scanned itself without having its hooks called twice.
Devfs is now using a recursive lock instead of a mutex (that's not really
a requirement right now, but would allow us to keep the fs lock during
scanning).

header locations.

and drivers that need to provide special select() support with
managing select notification information.
* Renamed vfs_select.c to *.cpp and fixed the resulting C++ compiler
errors. Added tracing macros.

Moved definition of "struct io_context" from fd.h to vfs.h.
Introduced new fs/ directory; some cleanups to come.
Added node monitor syscalls.
