Giacomo Tesio c7d0f621c9 Clarify Forsyth's and 9front's copyrights
I'm very grateful to Charles Forsyth for creating most of Jehanne's kernel
and to 9front's guys for all the code and ideas they freely share.

Here I make their copyrights explicit as they had been erroneusly omitted
or messed up before. Sorry.

Giacomo Tesio 93dde48355 kernel: deep refactoring and cleanup
This large commit address several issues
- removed 386 directory: Jehanne is 64bit only
- simplified kernel options management
- rewritten boot process
- ported memory related stuff from 9front's 9/pc64
- removed devacpi
- removed old code
- deep refactor of awake syscall
- removed MCACHE support for mount
- fix libc's setjmp/longjmp

Giacomo Tesio 22d90985a5 kernel: awake() wake up only truly blocking syscalls
If a syscall did not entered sleep(), the pendingWakeup is not consumed.

Giacomo Tesio 1dc8991331 kernel: reset and restore up->cursyscall in trap
This way sleep() knows that it should not interrupt the process
to serve awake().

Also rename Proc.insyscall to Proc.inkernel since that's the meaning
of the flag, which is only read to serve awake()'s mechanics and
to accounttime(). Indeed faultAmd64 was setting insyscall to 1.

Giacomo Tesio f9b2e9aba4 kernel: generalize awake
Awake can now interrupt several blocking syscalls (even
during note handling).

Among others, it can interrupt await, pread and pwrite.

It cannot interrupt several others for different reasons:

- awake cannot be interrupted by awake;
- syscalls like remove and create can be used for kernel comunication
  and it would be hard to know if the effect occurred in the
  receiving fs if they were interrupted;
- other syscalls do not need awake since they just provide access
  to kernel infos (eg seek or fd2path)

NOTE: awakes registered before a note cannot occur during the note
handling and will be deferred till the next call to noted.

Giacomo Tesio f52a185030 decouple Jehanne from 9P2000 (as much as needed)
Jehanne is going to use a new file protocol, but Plan 9 is really
coupled with 9P2000.

Renamed fcall.h as 9P2000.h and introduced specific constants such
as NP_OREAD, NP_OWRITE and so on, so that we can use different values
in the kernel and new protocol.

Renamed devmnt to devninep, since it's actually a device serving 9P2000
file systems.

Also, fixed 9P2000 support in Jehanne, that was broken with the introduction
of OSTAT.

Giacomo Tesio 38aca7a581 first usable version of kernel and commands
After an year of hard work, this is a first "usable" version of Jehanne.
