Any application that wants to receive a user interrupt needs to register
an interrupt handler with the kernel. Add a registration syscall that
sets up the interrupt handler and the related kernel structures for
the task that makes this syscall.

Only one interrupt handler per task can be registered with the
kernel/hardware. Each task has its private interrupt vector space of 64
vectors. The vector registration and the related FD management is
covered later.

Also add an unregister syscall to let a task unregister the interrupt
handler.

The UPID for each receiver task needs to be updated whenever a task gets
context switched or it moves from one cpu to another. This will also be
covered later. The system calls haven't been wired up yet so no real
harm is done if we don't update the UPID right now.

<Code typically in the x86/kernel directory doesn't deal with file
descriptor management. I have kept uintr_fd.c separate to make it easier
to move it somewhere else if needed.>

Um, that's a pretty big "TODO" here.

How are you going to define what is, and what is not, an allowed
"handler"?

I'm sure the security people would like to get involved here, as well as
the auditing people.  Have you talked with them about their requirements
for this type of stuff?

thanks,
