kernel: disable freelist page caching for executables run from uncached mount
the image cache has the property of keeping a channel
for the executable binary arround which prevents the
mountpoint from going away.
this can easily be reproduced by running:
@{rfork n; ramfs; cp /bin/echo /tmp; /tmp/echo}
observe how ramfs stays arround until the image is
reclaimed. the echo binary is also cached but is
unreachable from any namespace.
we now restrict the caching to mounts that use the client
cache (-C flag) only. this should always be the case
for /bin. places where this isnt the case might observe
a performance regression.

kernel: keep one closeproc arround in case we are unable to fork a new one
closechanq() is unable to fork a new closeproc when palloc
is locked. so we spawn a closeproc early in chandevinit()
and make sure theres always one process arround to handle
the queue.

kbdfs: implement <compoxe>x to enter variable length unicode as suggested by erik quanstro
from: http://9fans.net/archive/2013/04/327
since <compose>x is not yet entrenched, i have a suggestion for ease of
input. suppose <compose>x were redefined so the syntax were
"<compose>x[0-9a-f]+;". in the case that 6 hex digits are entered, then
the ";" is not necessary.
not only would this allow for entering 21-bit runes, it would also allow for
short sequences to be entered more easily.

9p(2): correct usage for srvrelease()/srvacquire()
the process is *NOT* allowed to exit after a srvrelease() as
it still holds a reference (srv->rref) preventing the srv

nusb/ether: fix wrong size check causing odd sized packets to be discarded (thanks mischief!)
ethernet packets with sizes that where not multiples of 4 where
discarded because the check uses the smsc frame size instead of
the payload size. when a usb read returns just one packet, theres
no next frame header and the calculated frame size is bigger than
the usb read which caused the whole packet to be discarded as invalid.

usb is bound after /dev, so a hanging usb device will hang

cwfs: more checking for cfsdump(), cleanup Tsuper hack in cwrecur()
add checktag and nil checks in cfsdump() making sure to notice
when the roroot directory structures is corrupted.
cwrecur() used tag == Tsuper to indicate that this is the first
level recursive invocation. this is confusing as we really expect
Tdir tag in that case for the root directory. instead, we now
pass the correct tag (Tdir) and use cw->depth > 1 to see if we
are past the root.
the block tag was only checked when the block was not in
the memory cache. check the tag always!
dont rely on postnote to shutdown client. instead, make reads on
cons, kbd and mouse error. when we mount a window system over
exportfs, the pid useless and even dangerous! pid should be
only used by clients forked by rio itself.
fix bug in resized(), goodrect() takes rect in screen coordinates!
make rectonscreen() fix window size if the window doesnt fit
on the screen.
improve goodrect() to check for windows outside of the screen or
bigger than screen without borders visible.

ether83815: fix `auto neg timed out' error with sis 900 rev 635.
the openbsd sis(4) driver does not actually go through the rest
of softreset() with sis cards. also, rev 635 reads the mac address
differently, so copy-paste code from openbsd to handle that.
audiohda: allow manual pin routing, more verbose audiostat, initial mute of al widgets
the automatic routing from jack to dac/adc sometimes gets us
a path thats not audible. manually specifying a route path
gets us arround these. the syntax is just a comma separated
list of node ids in the "pin" and "inpin" audioctl commands
instead of a single pin node id.
to find alternative paths, audiostat now lists all the widgets;
not just the pins; and ther input connections.
initially mute all pins and amps of all function groups.
connectpath() and disconnectpath() will mute and unmute
the widgets as required later.
pc kernel: make syscall() return thru forkret() to handle exceptions
forkret() labels the instructions that can raise exceptions
so they can be handled in trap(). this can happen when
segment descriptors get invalidated.
audioac97: remove i/o bar magic, fix ac97mixreset busywait-forever timeout
the standard is i/o bar 0 is the mixer and bar 1 is status/control.
the magic with the bar sizes made it fail in qemu. so removing it
for now as all devices seen so far comply to the standard.
if we ever see a sis7012 where this might be swaped uncomment the i=0;
the busywait timeout is too long in ac97mixreset() because rd/wr
have a timeout on ther own. just remove the busy looping and do
a one second delay after mixer reset. (tested with t23)
reverting semaphore lock changes from sources (r41ccd6d221da, rb28756e5ba29)
semaphore locks have much higher overhead than initially presented
in the "Semaphores in Plan9" paper. until the reason for it has been
found out i will revert the changes.
validaddr looks up the segments for an address range
and checks the flags and if the address range lies
within bounds on the segments.
as we'r going to lookup the segment in the syssem*
syscalls anyway, we can do the checks ourselfs avoiding
the double segment array lookups.
the implication of this tho is that now a semaphore cannot
span multiple segments. but this would be highly unusual
given that segments are page aligned.
9bootfat: only check for fat at block 0 on floppy drives (thanks aap)
smart boot manager has a "FAT" signature in its mbr causing
9bootfat to "detect" it as a fat filesystem and then fails
to find plan9.ini.
there shouldnt be a fat filesystem on harddrives at block 0, only
on floppy drives. but some bioses use floppy drive numbers
for usb harddrives so still check for a partition table.
5c: apply richard millers 5c-nan-cmp patch (from sources)
On ARM, it turns out that comparisons with NaN can be made to do the
right thing with no code penalty, by a more careful selection of
condition code values in the subsequent conditional branch. The
meaning of the CC bits in the PSR is subtly different when they've
been copied from the floating point status register.
Suggested patch is 5c-nan-cmp (works on both vfp and emulated arm7500).
"libdraw: make ebread() return buffer immidiately if available"

rio: translate window when scaling results in bad window rect on screen resize
when the screen is resized, we scale the windows to
match the new screen size. when the screen is too
small tho, the scaled down window rect might result
in a bad window rect. before, we kept the window
in its original position and size making it possible
to move a window out of the screen by resizing its
outer rio.
now, if we get a bad rectangle after scaling, we
just tralslate position to the new scaled r.min
point but preserve its orginal size. this keeps
the window always accessible.
apm: fix wrong segment load, zero segment registers
we loaded APMDSEG instead of APMDSEL into DS. (ouch!)
its not really clear why we loaded DS (wong) in the
first place as bios is supposed to do this. for the
machines where this worked it could have no effect
anyway because it was wrong so removing the DS load
and just zero all segment registers.
