* Determine whether called from userland or kernel.
* Check the buffer address via IS_USER_ADDRESS(), if from userland.
* Simplify things by merging UserRead() with Read() and
UserWrite() with Write().
* Increase FIFO buffer capacity from 32 to 64 KiB and the FIFO atomic
write size ({BUF_SIZE}) from 512 bytes to 4 KiB (both like Linux).
* Fix *pathconf(..., _PC_PIPE_BUF). It was returning 4 KiB although the
implemented atomic write size was 512 bytes only. Now both *pathconf()
and the FIFO implementation refer to the same constant.
* Reorganized the kernel locking related to threads and teams.
* We now discriminate correctly between process and thread signals. Signal
handlers have been moved to teams. Fixes#5679.
* Implemented real-time signal support, including signal queuing, SA_SIGINFO
support, sigqueue(), sigwaitinfo(), sigtimedwait(), waitid(), and the addition
of the real-time signal range. Closes#1935 and #2695.
* Gave SIGBUS a separate signal number. Fixes#6704.
* Implemented <time.h> clock and timer support, and fixed/completed alarm() and
[set]itimer(). Closes#5682.
* Implemented support for thread cancellation. Closes#5686.
* Moved send_signal() from <signal.h> to <OS.h>. Fixes#7554.
* Lots over smaller more or less related changes.

* The team and thread kernel structures have been renamed to Team and Thread
respectively and moved into the new BKernel namespace.
* Several (kernel add-on) sources have been converted from C to C++ since
private kernel headers are included that are no longer C compatible.
Changes after merging:
* Fixed gcc 2 build (warnings mainly in the scary firewire bus manager).

once the file descriptor is closed.
* Reinstantiated the FIFO functionality as long there are no writers yet as
explained by Ingo.

is closed; their ReadRequest will now be notified with B_FILE_ERROR.
* This is a better fix for #5947, though note that I left the changes in
Inode::ReadDataFromBuffer() in place, as I think this is what POSIX requires.

- enqueue_in_run_queue() no longer returns whether rescheduling is supposed
to happen. Instead is sets cpu_ent::invoke_scheduler on the current CPU.
- reschedule() does now handle cpu_ent::invoke_scheduler_if_idle(). No need
to let all callers do that.
* thread_unblock[_locked]() no longer return whether rescheduling is supposed
to happen.
* Got rid of the B_INVOKE_SCHEDULER handling. The interrupt hooks really
can't know, when it makes sense to reschedule or not.
* Introduced scheduler_reschedule_if_necessary[_locked]() functions for
checking+invoking the scheduler.
* Some semaphore functions (e.g. delete_sem()) invoke the scheduler now, if
they wake up anything with greater priority.
I've also tried to add scheduler invocations in the condition variable and
mutex/rw_lock code, but that actually has a negative impact on performance,
probably because it causes too much ping-ponging between threads when
multiple locking primitives are involved.

* Replaced the use of offsetof() for structs that aren't PODs. Add a
offset_of_member() macro to util/khash.h because that's what it's used for
in our cases.
* Change the signature of add_debugger_command()/remove_debugger_command() on
GCC > 2 to avoid the depricated conversion from string constants to char *.
* Adding some "suggested" parenthesis. I know that not everyone likes that, but
it pointed out at least one bug that is fixed here as well.

interrupted, another thread closing the other end of the pipe could
invoke thread_unblock() while the first thread already entered
mutex_lock(). This would make the first thread think it successfully
locked the mutex, without removing its (on-stack) wait entry from the
mutex queue, thus leading to crashes.

to provide asynchrounous (or only synchronous, if asynchronous is not
supported) I/O request support. It will eventually replace
{read,write}_pages(). None of the FS implementations implement them
yet.
* Implemented some support functions for request-based I/O. File system
implementations can use do_fd_io() which passes an I/O request to the
layer responsible for a given FD, and do_iterative_fd_io(), which
translates a request for a file to subrequests for the underlying
device and passes them on. Both fall back to synchrounous processing
when the io() hook is not supported.
Furthermore added vfs_synchronous_io() which should be handy for the
devfs to perform io_requests synchronously for devices that don't
support the io() hook.

fs_vnode_ops::write_pages() to be called with fsReenter = true. Since
this is no longer the case, the argument has become superfluous. For
read_pages() it always was. Removed the argument from the functions
and all functions that propagated it.
* Some whitespace at the end of lines was removed.

Changed condition variables so that it is allowed to block (e.g. lock
mutexes etc.) between Add() and Wait(). This fixes#2059, since the
block writer used them this way and could thusly fail to wait for a
condition variable, causing a temporary stack object to be used past its
lifetime.

respective Private* base class.
* Changed sigwait() and sigsuspend() to use thread_block() instead of a
condition variable.

thread_block(), thread_unblock(),...) that allow a thread to wait for
something without needing a semaphore or condition variable. It can
simply block and another thread can unblock it. Supports timeouts and
interrupting. Both semaphores and condition variables use this
common mechanism, now.
* Semaphores:
- Some simplifications due to the thread blocking mechanism.
- Changed locking order to sem -> thread. It was the other way around
before and when introducing the wait_for_objects() support I had
also introduced a situation where the locking was reverse, which
could potentially cause a dead lock on SMP systems.
- Instead of queueing thread structures, a semaphore queues
queued_thread entries now, which are created on the stack. The
thread::sem structure could thus be removed.
- Added sem_entry::net_count, which is sem_entry::count plus the
acquisition count of all waiting threads. This number is needed in
remove_thread_from_sem() and instead of computing it there we
maintain it.
- Fixed remove_thread_from_sem(). It would not unblock threads, if
the sem count was <= 0.
- Made sem::last_acquirer unconditional. It is actually needed for
sem_info::latest_holder. Fixed fill_sem_info() accordingly.
- Added some optional tracing output, though only via ktrace_printf().
* Condition variables:
- Could be simplified significantly through the use of the thread
blocking mechanism. Removed a good deal of unnecessary code.
- Moved the ConditionVariableEntry "flags" parameter from Wait() to
Add(), and adjusted all places where condition variables are used
accordingly.
* snooze() uses thread_block_with_timeout() instead of a semaphore.
* Simplified thread interrupting in the signal and user debugger code.
Instead of separate functions for threads waiting on a semaphore or
condititon variable, we only have a single thread_interrupt(), now.

* Removed the pipefs functionality. We only need to support FIFO nodes.
* Renamed the remaining pipefs_*() functions to fifo_*().
