sdbio() tests if it can pass the buffer pointer directly to
the driver when it is already in kernel memory. we also need
to check if the buffer is properly aligned but alignment
requirement is handled in system specific sdmalloc() and
was not known to devsd.
to solve this, we *always* page align sd buffers and get rid
of the system specific sdmalloc() macro (was only used in bcm
kernel).

allows you to get the raspberry pi board revision. I kept in the segment that allows direct access to the gpio memory

this simplifies the arm ports and keeps all the stuff in one place
instead of spreading it thru notify(), trap() and syscall() functions
and prevents useless fp state copying for kernel procs.
also make sure to save fp in notify while still splhi().

the software cursor starts flickering and reacts bumby if a process
spends most of its time with drawlock acquired because the timer interrupt
thats supposed to redraw the cursor fails to acquire the lock at the time
the timer fires.
instead of trying to draw the cursor on the screen from a timer interrupt
30 times per second, devmouse now creates a process calling cursoron() and
cursoroff() when the cursor needs to be redrawn. this allows the swcursor
to schedule a redraw while holding the drawlock in swcursoravoid() and
cursoron()/cursoroff() are now able to wait for a qlock (drawlock) because
they get called from process context.
the overall responsiveness is also improved with this change as the cursor
redraw rate isnt limited to 30 times a second anymore.
