stacks have been changed.

- libc functions not implemented yet
- see `env` for an example of reading variables
- see `esh` for an example of how to set and maintain variables for
sending to other applications
Both of the above will be the basis for the libc implementation.
* Works with different block sizes
* Works with different inode sizes
* Tested on a real EXT2 file system made with mkfs.ext2
* MBR reading is available
* You can specify a partition with hdd=0 or hdd=1 etc.
* If you make a "real" disk image, you can get GRUB installed in
its MBR, toss in a suitable config file, and boot right off the
disk rather than having to use QEMU to boot the kernel or using
some silly CDROM ramdisk nonsense.
Completely removes:
* The kernel terminal (both VGA and graphical)
* The kernel ANSI parser (obviously)
* kgets() function
* Dozens of other functions that were made useless
Adds:
* Userspace terminal that should work (relatively) well
* Keyboard device driver (implemented with a "pipe" object)
* Stabalized interrupt interface
* `clear` uses the c library
* All panic screens and kprintf() output goes to the serial line ONLY
* The kernel boots directly into /bin/terminal (no arguments, unless you
want to add them (such as -f))
- Free process resources when a process exits (reaped in next process
cycle; should probably reap after a wait() or something)
- Free process struct after wait()
- Fix page allocation
- Fix fork() return value for child process (attempted to write to an
invalid point in kernel-stack memory)
We shouldn't be triple faulting randomly anymore!
Continue investigating the fork() return value, as there was a bugged
return at some point during executon of a test run of thrash-process.
