kernel and drivers
------------------

kernel: make sure the swap device has a reasonable capacity in setswapchan()
kernel: cleanup chan.c to consistenly use nil instead of 0 for pointers
kernel: consistent use of nil for pointer in sysfile.c
kernel: simplify syspipe()
kernel: make sure fd is in range in fdclose()
kernel: pipelined read ahead for the mount cache
kernel: clunk the cache when removing cache flag on a channel, only call cread() chen CCACHE flag is set
kernel: export mntattach() from devmnt.c avoiding bogus struct passing and special case in namec()
kernel: remove obsolete comment from namec()
kernel: cleanup qlock.c to use nil instead of 0 for pointers
kernel: dont rely on atoi() parsing hex for netif/devbridge
kernel: remove unused qstate() function
kernel: reject empty argv (argv[0] == nil) in sysexec()
kernel: make shargs() function static in sysproc.c
kernel: use Etoolong[] constant instead of string literal in validname0()
kernel: change vmemchr() length argument to ulong and simplify
kernel: limit syscallfmt user strings to 64K (as in validname)
kernel: fix indention in validname0()
kernel: validnamedup() the name argument for segattach()
kernel: limit argv[] strings to the USTKSIZE to avoid overflow
kernel: have to validate argv[] again when copying to the new stack
kernel: remove unused MAXCRYPT constant from portdat.h
kernel: fix Mheadache
kernel: pgrpcpy(), simplify Mount structure
kernel: mount flag is int not ulong, reduce size of Mount struct by putting mflag field in what would be wasted as padding
kernel: move "setargs" field in Proc structure after "nargs" and "args"
kernel: try freebroken() *before* killbig() (thanks aiju)
