various small fixes.
. motd update (ast)
. made /usr/local/man/man* and made them bin-owned (mtree)
(to let bin install there)
. made copyright notice in kernel 1987-2006 (ast)
. added chown -R bin /usr/src so that bin can compile everything

. swapped test26 and test40
. renamed sh*.sh to testsh*.sh
. invoked shell tests from run script like the other test commands
(that was the point of renaming)

. Allow drivers to to physcopy() (table.c)
. Also allow receive() to be done from kernel processes, not just
sendrec(). This is because receive()s can't harm the kernel processes,
but are done from the CLOCK task (without sendrec()).

Changed minor number of /dev/zero from 6 to 5.
(Make sure to update your system accordingly or /dev/zero won't work.)
Cleaned up comments in MEMORY driver.

Check if kernel calls is allowed (from process' call mask) added. Not yet
enforced. If a call is denied, this will be kprinted. Please report any such
errors, so that I can adjust the mask before returning errors instead of
warnings.
Wrote CMOS driver. All CMOS code from FS has been removed. Currently the
driver only supports get time calls. Set time is left out as an exercise
for the book readers ... startup scripts were updated because the CMOS driver
is needed early on. (IS got same treatment.) Don't forget to run MAKEDEV cmos
in /dev/, otherwise the driver cannot be loaded.

Miscellaneous clean ups and fixes to the kernel.
Support for FLOPPY in boot image. (Set controller=fd at boot monitor.)
Moved major device numbers to <minix/dmap.h> (maybe rename to dev.h?)

Single boot driver loaded, while multiple can be included in the boot image.
The user needs to set label=... to choose the driver of his or her choice.
This driver will be mapped onto the controller that is set in controller=...
Minor cleanup of kernel source code (boot image table now is static).

Fixed 'bug' in log driver that caused kernel messages not to be displayed.
This was caused by a change in the shared driver code. Not log's fault.
Renamed #definitions of driver process numbers, e.g., TTY now is TTY_PROC_NR.
All known (special) processes now have consistent naming scheme. Kernel tasks
don't follow this scheme.

Various updates to support dynamically starting drivers.
Output during initialization should be suppressed. Unless an error occurs.
Note that main() can now be main(int argc, char **argv) and arguments can
be passed when bringing up the driver.

Created new devctl system call to FS. Moved dmap.h header to include/minix/.
Various updates to support dynamically starting servers and suppress output.
- Kernel call handlers cleaned up. More strict checking of input parameters.
- Moved generic_handler() from system.c to system/do_irqctl.c.
- Set privileges of system processes somewhat stricter.
Small update to SYS_IRQCTL -> setting an interrupt policy now allows the caller
to provide an index (0 .. 31) that is passed in the HARD_INT message when an
interrupt occurs. The NOTIFY_ARG field contains a bitmap with all indexes for
which an interrupt occured.
