rump_fs: support the access of GEMDOS file systems 

The GEMDOS variant is supported by NetBSD's msdos file-system driver.
However, it must explicitly be enabled by a mount flag. This patch
adds the principle ability for passing mount flags to file system
drivers and enables the MSDOSFSMNT_GEMDOSFS flag based on the
config attribute 'gemdos="yes"'.

Genode's Rump Kernel kernel port
================================
This repository contains the Genode version of the [http://wiki.netbsd.org/rumpkernel/ - rump kernel].
The kernel is currently used to gain file-system access from within Genode. In
order to achieve that, a Genode file-system server is located at
_src/server/rump_fs_. For accessing the server through the libc, the _libc_fs_
plugin can be facilitated, which is available in the _libports_ repository.
This repository contains the Genode version of the
[http://wiki.netbsd.org/rumpkernel/ - rump kernel].
The kernel is currently used to gain file-system access from within Genode.
In order to achieve that, the rump kernel is integrated into a VFS plugin,
located at _src/lib/vfs/rump_. It can thereby by used directly by libc
applications, or indirectly by using the VFS-server component.

Here is an example snippet that configures the VFS plugin:

The server is looking for a service that provides a Genode block session. If
there is more than one block session in the system, the block session must be
routed to the right block-session server. The value of the _fs_ attribute of
the _config_ node can be one of the following: _ext2fs_ for EXT2, _cd9660_ for
ISO-9660, or _msdos_ for FAT file-system support. _root_ defines the directory
of the file system as seen as root directory by the client. The server hands
most of its RAM quota to the rump kernel. This means the larger the quota is,
the larger the internal block caches of the rump kernel will be.
The VFS plugin obtains a block session. If there is more than one block
session in the system, the block session must be routed to the right
block-session server. The value of the _fs_ attribute can be one of the
following: _ext2fs_ for EXT2, _cd9660_ for ISO-9660, or _msdos_ for FAT
file-system support. When accessing a _msdos_ file system, the optional
attribute 'gemdos="yes"' can be specified to operate in GEMDOS compatibility
mode.
The VFS plugin hands over the specified amount of RAM quota to the rump
kernel. The larger the quota is, the larger the internal block caches of the
rump kernel will be.
