The management of Linux page structs is now tied to the life time of DMA
buffers. Thus, page structs are created when a buffer is allocated and
deallocated only when a buffer is freed - not on lx_emul_mem_free()
because DMA buffers are cached. Page struct refcounting was entirely
reworked in lx_emul/shadow/mm/page_alloc.c.
Fixes#4809
The devio API in the Linux kernel promised to be a stable layer for our
USB host controller drivers, but the additional bookkeeping and dynamic
allocations increase CPU overhead in a way that we do not accept further.
Therefore, we go a step back and process DMA transactions directly in and
out of the packet stream from the clients.

Up to now, when using force_*, all other configured modes of a connector
got overwritten and the force_* got enforced. With the commit,
the connector mode is considered (if below max_*) and the resulting
framebuffer may be larger then the dimension of force_*.
Differences in TAR archive member metadata results in unstable depot
hashes. The following properties have to be fixed: modification time
(incl. time zone), numeric owner and group, permission modes.
Releated to #2842
If all connectors are set to disabled by configuration, the connectors
stayed enabled since the new configuration reveals no preferred or minimal
resolution/mode. Instead, use the last set resolution in order to get to the
disabling code.
This commit extends the Lx_kit initialization function by passing in
a signal handler that is used to perform the normally occurring
scheduler execution and is a follow-up change for the decoupling
scheduler execution commit.
Instead of burying the signal handler in the 'Lx_kit::Scheduler'
object it is provided by the main object where the driver is free
to perform any additional step before or after executing the scheduler.

Since the wireless LAN driver is actually a 'Libc::Component' due to
its incorporation of the 'wpa_spplicant' application, we have to
intercept its construction because we have to initialize the Lx_kit
environment before any static ctors are executed. Most Linux initcalls
are implemented as ctors that will be otherwise implicitly executed
before the controll is given to us in 'Libc::Component::construct'.
Issue #4927.
Prior to this commit, whenever an external event occurred, for example
timer or interrupt, the corresponding I/O signal handler was triggered.
This handler unblocked the task waiting for the event and initiated the
immediate execution of all unblocked tasks. Since these tasks may hit
serialization points, e.g. synchronously waiting for packet stream
operations, that require handling of other I/O signals this leads to
nested execution. This, however, is not supported and mixes application
and I/O level signal handling.
The flagging of the scheduling intent is now decoupled from its
execution by using an application level signal handler that is run in
the context of the components main entrypoint. The I/O signal handler
now triggers the scheduling execution by sending a local signal to
the EP.
Since it might be necessary to execute a pending schedule from the EP
directly the scheduler is extended with the 'execute' member function
that performs the check that the scheduler is called from within the
EP and triggers the execution afterwards.
Issue #4927.
On disconnect of displays, e.g. seen with Type-C connectors, the encoder was
not properly disabled due to a missing drm_client_modeset_commit. In order that
the commit succeed, however a fb must be assigned to the modeset. Missing to
do so leads to an -EINVAL by the drm_client_modeset_commit.
Fixes#4948
With these options enabled comparative testing between pc_linux drivers
and bzImages becomes much easier on EFI-only machines. The impact on the
actual Genode drivers is minimal.
This commits enables the R8169 driver and was tested with two
RTL8168h/8111h (10ec:8168 rev 0x15 sub 1462:7a38 / 1d05:109f) and
two equal RTL8125B (10ec:8125 rev 0x5 sub 1458:e000) devices
running Sculpt.
Firmware loading is for now not implemented but specific Linux
commits suggest it could be necessary. However, doing so will be
post-poned until we have gathered more experience with the driver.
Restarting the driver might lead to the following IOMMU error
messages but the device seems to work anyway:

The implementation was already part of the Zynq's sd_card driver and
since other ARM drivers need it as well, promote it to the common
shadow library.
