This is a bit of a hack. /dev is presented as a new pseudo file type
until I finish the VFS overhaul. This fake file presents a directory
with entries for all of the VFS nodes that are children of it. The
future VFS will do this on its own, thus making this superfluous.
WARNING: THIS BREAKS PARTITIONS
Until I get partition maps and can produce device entries like
/dev/hda1, partitions will be broken, so DON'T TRY TO BUILD AN IMAGE
WITH THE IMAGE BUILDER.
Hopefully this is all rectified in under 24 hours...
The compositor itself still needs work, but the compositing engine
within now does full blitting and is faster than the old method.
Transparency is now supported properly, though telling the compositor to
use it on a window will degrade performance. One terminal is usually
okay, and everything runs faster than it did before; two terminals is
pushing it; three will make you very sad. The stacking logic has also
been updated. Presumably, alpha blitting for transparent windows could
be done with SIMD instructions and be extremely fast.
All graphics libraries have also been updated to (hopefully) work
properly with alpha bits.
