Instead of fixing the missing dynamic facilities of the AHCI driver
backends for x86 and Exynos5, just avoid to create/destroy the backend
for every new connection, but always use one and the same object.
The AHCI drivers need to be re-written anyway, see issue #1352 for instance,
we can make it more robust for the dynamic case then.

The commit uses a fixed kernel branch (r8), which fixes a caching bug
observable in the Genode host. The quirk detecting the circumstance in the
timer service is obsolete now and is removed.
Fixes#1338
It turned out that the controller configuration can change during the self
tests, so now it is read before running the tests and restored afterwards.
Fixes#1260.
This reverts commit edc03489b3.
Since commit
"timer: nova specific version of the service"
a nova specific timer is used and this quirk is not necessary anymore.
Issue #1211
The count value can be used to batch timeouts. I.e., if a periodic
timeout triggered multiple times before the timer had a chance to
process them, the count corresponds to the number of passed periods.
On ARM it's relevant to not only distinguish between ordinary cached memory
and write-combined one, but also having non-cached memory too. To insert the
appropriated page table entries e.g.: in the base-hw kernel, we need to preserve
the information about the kind of memory from allocation until the pager
resolves a page fault. Therefore, this commit introduces a new Cache_attribute
type, and replaces the write_combined boolean with the new type where necessary.
This patch changes both the Input::Session interface and the skeleton
for the server-side implementation of this interface
('input/component.h').
The Input::Session interface offers a new 'sigh' function, which can be
called be the client to register a signal handler. The signal handler
gets notified on the arrival of new input. This alleviates the need to
poll for input events at the client side.
The server-side skeleton for implementing input services underwent a
redesign to make it more modular and robust. I.e., there are no
global functions needed at the server side and the event-queue
enable/disable mechanism is implemented at a central place (in the root
component) rather than inside each driver.
Fixes#46
This patch changes the top-level directory layout as a preparatory
step for improving the tools for managing 3rd-party source codes.
The rationale is described in the issue referenced below.
