I added a dead-simple malloc that only allows allocations < 4096 bytes.
It just forwards the request to mmap() every time.
I also added simplified versions of opendir() and readdir().
Add a separate lock to protect the VFS. I think this might be a good idea.
I'm not sure it's a good approach though. I'll fiddle with it as I go along.
It's really fun to figure out all these things on my own.
- More work on funneling console output through Console.
- init() now breaks off into a separate task ASAP.
- ..this leaves the "colonel" task as a simple hlt idle loop.
- Mask all IRQs on startup (except IRQ2 for slave passthru)
- Fix underallocation bug in Task::allocateRegion().
- Remember how many times each Task has been scheduled.
The panel and scheduling banner are disabled until I get things
working nicely in the (brave) new Console world.
