Norman Feske cbd4830977 Propagate new parent cap to forked process
This patch removes the hardcoded parent cap for the new child by
introducing a facility called 'poke' similar to copy-to-user. This
change makes the fork mechanism kernel-agnostic. The 'noux_fork'
test works on L4/Fiasco, OKL4, NOVA, Fiasco.OC, and L4ka::Pistachio.
Linux is not supported yet.

Dependencies from other repositories
------------------------------------

Application provided by the 'ports' repository typically expect a rich
runtime environment, including shared libraries provided by the 'libports'
repository. Hence, 'ports' depends on 'libports'. Furthermore, applications
may require additional repositories. For example, the Arora web browser depends
on the 'qt4' repository.
