Previously the return value of cap_get_capPtr was compared to 0 in
sameRegionAs to emulate a check in the abstract specification that
tests if the cap is a physical cap or not. Overloading 0 results
in a scenario where a legitimate deviceUntyped's children do not
get considered to be children because they have a capPtr of 0.
This change adds and explicit function that returns whether or not
a capability is physical or not, and uses that in sameRegionAs
Its probable this was meant to be a boolean flag to represent
whether or not the TCB had a bound notification object. However,
this field is unused and its presence is confusing.
Diminish rights were to prevent a user from sending a writeable
cap over a read only endpoint. It turns out this 'security' can
be worked around without difficulty (by putting caps in a cnode
and sending the cnode) making the current diminish rights
implementation functionally useless.
Removing diminish rights has the benefit of simplifying all the
IPC paths.
Restructure the x86 interrupt handling to allow for a more flexible
method of using IOAPIC and MSI interrupts. The essence of this change
is to allow for the user to pick, for both IOAPIC and MSIs, which
CPU vector to use. Additionally there is future support, in the API,
for seL4 to eventually protect MSI interrupts with the vt-d interrupt
routing tables.
API behaviour for legacy systems using the PIC is preserved

The purpose of having this commit is so that there is a commit where the

The previous definition of TCB_NAME_LENGTH assumed that the TCB was
split evenly into the cnode region and the rest. It did this by
calculating the size of the rest by using the size of the cnode
region. In actual fact the cnode region might be smaller, making
the size of the rest the size of the total tcb block size, minus
the cnode size. The max name length is therefore this region, minus
the size of the tcb_t
