Add hardware interrupt notification mechanism
This allows privileged userland drivers to get notifications of hardware interrupts. Initial work by Zheng Da, reworked by Damien Zammit and myself. * Makefrag.am (libkernel_a_SOURCES): Add device/intr.c and device/intr.h. (include_device_HEADERS): Add include/device/notify.defs and include/device/notify.h. * device/dev_hdr.h (name_equal): Add declaration. * device/ds_routines.c: Include <device/intr.h> (ds_device_intr_register, ds_device_intr_ack): New functions. * device/intr.c, device/intr.h: New files. * doc/mach.texi (Device Interrupt): New section. * i386/Makefrag.am (libkernel_a_SOURCES): Add i386/i386/irq.c and i386/i386/irq.h. * i386/i386/irq.c, i386/i386/irq.h: New files. * i386/i386at/conf.c: Include <device/intr.h>. (irqname): New macro. (dev_name_list): Add irq device. * include/device/device.defs (device_intr_register, device_intr_ack): New RPCs. * include/device/notify.defs, include/device/notify.h: New files. * kern/startup.c: Include <device/intr.h> (start_kernel_threads): Start intr_thread thread. * linux/dev/arch/i386/kernel/irq.c: Include <device/intr.h> (linux_action): Add user_intr field. (linux_intr): Call user_intr action if any. (mask_irq, unmask_irq): Move functions to i386/i386/pic.c (__disable_irq, __enable_irq): Move functions to i386/i386/irq.c. (install_user_intr_handler): New function. (request_irq): Initialize user_intr field. * linux/src/include/asm-i386/irq.h (__disable_irq, __enable_irq): Remove prototypes. * i386/i386/pic.c (mask_irq, unmask_irq): New functions. * i386/i386/pic.h (mask_irq, unmask_irq): New prototypes.

+The function @code{device_intr_register} registers for receiving hardware
+interrupt events through @var{device_intr_notify} notifications. The hardware
+interrupt identifier is specified by @var{id}. @var{flags} must be set to 0. The
+notifications will be sent on the @var{receive_port} send right.

+On a hardware interrupt, the kernel disables the interrupt line before sending
+notifications. To prevent from interrupt losses, the interrupt is kept disabled
+until @code{device_intr_ack} is called to acknowledge the interrupt.
+@var{receive_port} is the send right on which the interrupt notification was
+received.
